More about this scene

Severely modern and uncompromising in its architecture, this grammar school symbolised the progressive educational changes of the post-war period. In 1966 proposals were put forward to reorganise the education system within 15 years. It was decreed that all children aged 11 to 18 years would attend comprehensive schools. In the interim period comprehensives were split between those taking 11 to 13 year olds, and those taking 13 to 18 year olds.
