Long Whatton Primary School

A Memory of Long Whatton.

My name is Sandra Faure nee Cartlidge.
I have wonderful memories of my childhood in Long Whatton, especially those when I was at the Primary School.
Anyone remember Mrs Sharpe and Mrs Varnam?
Mrs Sharpe was a lovely person and I feel that we all got a good start in life having her as our teacher. She taught us so many things apart from the normal lessons. I remember how happy she was when I became the first ever Queens Guide in Long Whatton. She even gave me five pounds, which in those days, was a LOT of money!
I remember how we used to be able to play in the fields which were opposite my house (9, The Green). They were really happy days for me and my two brothers and all our friends.
