Healm Wick School Blewbury

A Memory of Blewbury.

I am starting to write my memoirs and have found 4 school reports from Healm-Wic school Blewbury for 1955 when I was 7. Luckily not too bad! Not long after this date my parents went to Nigeria to work and I went for a short time to boarding school in London before joining them
I remember travelling to the school from Didcot and back in the bright orange Tappins coaches
I can remember the head Mrs Halliday especially as I had to go and stay with her at her house in Reading when my father was ill and he had to be taken to a hospital in Leeds
I remember various incidents_ falling out of a tall fir tree in the grounds, Hollyhocks around the windows, Having branston pickle served in egg cups at lunch time, where we were fired multiplication questions and spellings whilst eating lunch, lessons, sports day and friends from that time
I am trying to locate which building in Blewbury the school was in. I visited Blewbury at their last flower festival but could not recognise any building that matched with the image in my head!
I would be grateful if anyone knows the answers to my query.
Rowena Hensman (nee Maton)
