At St. George’s School
A Memory of Mill Hill.
I was at St George’s School from 1943 - 1949 and I seem to be unique in my really happy time at the school. Mr Smith was very kind and gentle - he really hated having to take a ruler to my hand once - and yes Mrs Smith was really terrifying but I don’t ever remember being taught by her ?
Maybe writing - when we dipped our pens into ink pots. Mrs Phillips was lovely and ran the school percussion orchestra - sports day was held in the field in Mill Hill Park where we went every day for our morning break.
I cried buckets when I had to leave - and yes I did pass my 11+
going on to Hendon County Grammar School. As a matter of interest I was tied to my chair for fidgeting and had plaster across my mouth for chattering too much also made to stand on a chair facing the corner for some misdemeanour. No problem I felt it was a fair response to my disobedience ! How things have changed !
