What were the "house names" in your school?

[sams dad]

Named after Sussex beacons
Caburn
Ditchling
Firle
Wolstenbury.

Also earlier school had Drake, Lawrence & Livingstone, famous explorers.

You must have been at Westlain Grammar , Freddie.
I was there from '63 -'68.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I beg to differ in the debate over the superiority of houses at St Lawrence School in Hurstpierpoint.

Langton was by some distance the finest. I believe Danny House was reserved for the div kids, while Pakyns was the equivalent of Slytherin...

 

[Wilko]

Saturn (Yellow)
Mars (Red)
Pluto (Blue)
Neptune (Green)

I was in Neptune

 

[Fungus]

Ahhh, you are wrong my friend

Red - Arundel
Yellow - Pevensey
Blue - Lewes
Green - Bramber

There was no Hastings - They were all castles

I was Arundel

No, "my friend", he's not wrong. You are obviously talking about a different school (or a different era) with different colours. And are you robbing Hastings of a castle?

[Knightsworld]

Mile Oak CP

Arundel - Red
Bramber - Green
Lewes - Yellow
Pevensey - Blue

I can't remember PCC having house names.

 

[Beach Hut]

Each house had an A and B section as follows:

Leigh-Hunt, Maine, Barnes, Lamb, Coleridge, Middleton, Thornton and Peele

I was Leigh-Hunt B for Juniors and Thornton B for Seniors

Guess the school (and a few other NSC posters went there)......................

 

[wolfie]

Pelham (Navy)
Willets (Sky Blue)
Chichester (Yellow)
Marshall (Maroon)
Ireland (Green)

and a red one I cannot remember, anyother ex BHASVIC Grammar boys there to help?

Smith. And it was Willett not Willets (I was in it) Also, pedantically, it was not BHASVIC then. I think they were the names of former Heads or teachers.

 

[severnside gull]

Me too; escaped in 1972.

I got out in 69
think I still held the school truancy record when the place shut

 

[Domsdad]

The Glebe was still a junior school when I was there. The good turn out of former pupils on NSC shows it must have been a good education after all.

 

[pasty]

Leave it out ! Bennett used to OWN Trinity they were all GEEKS

Sad, but true really. (except yours truly naturally)

Mostly Palace fans too. As far as I recall there was only me and one other Albion fan in our entire year.
