And
the time ...
by my * ****** ******* watch, is
- 1952, thru 1962, thru 1972. Just two
tremendous decades of our school from its birth to the end of its Grammar School phase. It served the sons and daughters of colliers, tradesmen,
salesmen, office workers, factory workers and a small proportion of professional people. It drew its pupils from all over Nottinghamshire and gave them a
rich academic education, its staff among the finest minds and finest teachers your Webmaster has known, then or since.
And we all tuned our radios to 208.
The graduates became, among other things,
musicians, actors, writers, artists,
scientists, engineers, computer
technologists, diplomats,
architects, warriors, accountants and even
(tell it not in Gath) bankers and management
consultants. As well as all the other categories
above.
And they lived through the decade of Bankrupt
Britain, the decade of growing,
spreading wealth and Britpop, and just touched the
hem of the decade of Flares (I still have a pair). On
our site you can explore the School's history, meet
some of its people and share some of the experiences we
saw over those decades. You probably would have to
rock around the clock to see it
all.
