My memories of Warnham are happy ones, I too was sent from London at the time I believe it was because of my health as my Dad had TB and I was tested and proved positive, so had to leave the family home. I was in Wren dormitory and in Lewes house, my favourite teacher at the time was Miss Margaret Bradford and she married Mr Berry. There was a girl called Pippa (philipa) my best friend she had asthma. Would love to hear from anyone else who may still be around, my name at the time was Stammers.

I changed out of my grey and bergandy uniform, put my hair down and my knee high boots ...see more

What a year 1961 was for me. Like others before me I arrived at Warnham not knowing what to expect but found a place of peace for the first time in my life where I was treated with kindness. When we arrived Ernest Savage and his wife Margariet greeted everyone in the hall and then we were whisked off by Miss Western and Miss Bedford for something to eat and then a bath before being given our school ...see more
