What were the "house names" in your school?

[Freddie Goodwin.]

my mrs reckons it was 1973 that Westlain and Stanmer became Falmer.

As she went to Westlain in 1972

She's right.

73/74 was my last year in the Upper 6th and the 1st year of the 'new' falmer. it was complete chaos. I sahould sue as it didn't do much for my A level results but i revelled in the anarchy!

I've only read the first post so no idea if there's a binfest going on. But I'll add:

Spartans (Red)
Trojans (Green)
Greeks (Yellow)
Romans (Blue)

I was a Spartan in this arrangement at Findon Vale first and middle.

My memory's hazy but confirmed what I thought about BC junior - I was in St Andrews.

Before that I was at Queens Park which I think was just colours.

When I went on to Thomas Peacocke I couldn't be bothered at all with the whole houses thing. There was definately one called 'Rother' but I can't remember any of the others.

Captain of St Andrews and Head Border 78-79 here. The height of my authority. I was in Aldrich 79-84. Royal Blue was our colour. Still have my house towel bizarrely.

I may have been in the year ahead of you - left the Junior School after 77-78 (bloody hell - it just doesn't seem like a long time ago!). Was Gordon Smith (the man with the improbable hair plug implants) still Headmaster at BCJS when you were there?
