Funny how you remember these things. I was desperate to be in Kent as the county of my birth and told my form teacher.............they put me in Gloucester.
Sums up my school years.

Yep - but Chancton was blue, Cissbury was yellow.

Yes, but if I remember rightly the yellow house (the one I was in) was named Cissa. I think all the boarders were in Holland, but not all students in Holland were boarders. I also recall no-one giving a flying f#*k about the houses after Church Street.

SGS '78 - '85

In the simplistic dark ages of 1970s people with Downs were simply referred to as "Mongs" so the house name didn't really have a other connotation. Plus, from memory, Mr Lowe was the head of Downs and man you didn't want to diss his house or mess with him in any way. Every school has a teacher who can scare the B'jesus out of you and he was that teacher at Warden Park.

Mr Brown was the one who scared the shite out of most of us.

And who could ever forget the headmaster Trethowan headbutting a pupil after the Warden Park v Oathall dust up.
