Central Corridor
I attended this school throughout 1975-1980 and I always found it absurd as to why an almost H shaped building would have a rule that you were not allowed through the central corridor. I remember pupils (bouncers) at either end. I also remember my first headmistress sitting sternly on the stage like a judge. I don't remember her ever speaking, always leaving that to the deputy. I am not sure if the school still exists anymore as I heard that the grounds were sold for development. We certainly had a lot of outside space when I was there, with loads of tennis courts and an outdoor pool. The school became Queen Elizabeth 11 Silver Jubilee School after I had been there about two years, and it started to admit boys, shock horror!

RE: RE: Central Corridor
Nice to read your memories! I was a pupil here in the 1960s, and lived nearby. The site of the school is indeed now occupied by houses, but after it closed as a state school it was used by a Dutch firm for the children of its employees, and I believe the theatre was available for public use. I wonder what became of the beautiful magnolia trees, the curious pastel portrait of the girl with the peacock feather and the bronze statue?
