The Grange School
A Memory of Welwyn.
I don't know why but I loved the Grange , Mr & Mrs Miller were the heads , Miss Kipling the dancing teacher , Miss Coates & her black Labrador & the grey horse Friday. Sports Day was a grand event always remember it being a sunny day! When I was 11, I went to St.Alban's High School & hated it .
If there are any ex pupils about wishing to share memories please post them . I was at The Grange from 1953-1959

The good side: I am still close friends with Charlotte & Henrietta nee Micklem. Godmother to Marianne Capper’s daughter.... and more.
That’s where ‘good’ ends.
Mr Miller was a cruel sadistic man who physically abused me, force fed me & hung me from the high bars in the gym.
I developed an appalling nervous twitch, I couldn’t fully explain to my parents what was happening. But I wasn’t alone in receipt of the evil cruelty from Mr Miller. I remember seeing him, in front of us all, beat Bowyer with a cricket bat. He picked Marianne up by her pony tail, stood her on the lunch table & screamed in her face.
Today - this evil monster would be behind bars.
The best day of my entire 61 years was the day that school closed its doors for the developers who no doubt paid Mr Miller a disgusting sum of money for his land.
Yup - I was happy at last & moved to St Francis in Letchworth where I slowly learnt that burgers for lunch wasn’t a trick to get you hit if you dared to it !
