Orton Longueville Grammar School 1959-1961
Orton Longueville Grammar School start was Spring Term of 1959. Officiallly opening 1961 Cllr Blake (I believe). The Head master was Mr Woodcock; a true gentleman and fair. School days were happy on the whole. I had many friends. At one time I could look at the 1957 school grioup taken at Fletton Grammar - from where we all transferred - and could honestly name practically everyone on there! Old Fletton and Orton Longueville 'old'pupils have had a few happy reunions. One thing we all disliked of the area was the strong smell of sugarbeet. UGH!!! n
Mr Alcock
I'm searching web for information about George Alcock MBE who was my teacher in Fletton Primary and mixed School on the High Street bridge. Unfortunately both Mr Alcock and the school have long gone, but my memories of that great man will always be with me.
Because of him I passed my 11+ and went on to the grammar school down the road.
I'm hoping other pupils will remember the times we walked with him around the knotholes and were invited to farcet to share starry nights with him and his wife, often in the bitter cold. They were magical times - seeing the stars through the telescopes and being given hot drinks as we watched the planets.
School Days
went to school there from 1978 to 1986
George Alcock
Norma asked about George Alcock. There is quite a lot of info about his history on the search engines. Our daughter Shelley was taught by Mr Alcock at Southfields Primary School, Stanground. This was her last year when she was aged 10/11. She loved Mr Alcock. He was very patient and always interesting to listen to. He instilled in her a love of birds and the stars. Mr Alcock was always willing to give up his free time and she often went to talks and field trips with other members of the class. A wonderful man.
Fletton School
Does anyone remember the school behind Farrows factory beside the railway on the bridge/hill? I have many memories of walking past it with my mum, Gertrude Nightingale (nee Davis), she would tell me stories of the teachers there, and although it was supposed to be knocked down whilst she was a young woman it was still standing when I was 12 (1970). I loved that old building with its Christmas trees still painted on the windows and the old-fashioned chisled signs above the entrances, boys and girls. I would love to know more about its history.
