Was THE best school in the whole wide world in the 1970's. Mr Silk was a fantastic headmaster and so cool for an old geezer in his orange VW campervan. Great teachers who made a real lasting impression on me are Mr Greenwell, Miss Brocklebank, Mrs Cook and Mrs Brown- who was gorgeous! I didn't go to get my books matked for months because she made my 10 year old heart flutter so much. Like the song goes - I was just sorry ever after '74 - '75.
