Beauclerc School, Sunbury On Thames

A Memory of Sunbury.

Did anyone attend the 'old' Beauclerc School in Sunbury-on-Thames? I was there in the 1940s when Miss Clara Garlick was the headmistress and Miss Walters was the Principal. There was a beautiful weeping willow in the gardens. I was a boarder there and there were a few day pupils from the village. The old school has been demolished and there is now a modern school in its place. One of my dear friends was Elizabeth Garlick - the niece of the headmistress. From Beauclerc School I went on to attend Laleham Abbey (School of the Holy Child) from where I have many happy memories too - including the huge tortoise in the quadrangle.
