In primary school for me it was a simple case of colours: red, yellow, blue and green (the best). In senior school it was gamma (blue - me), sigma (green) and delta (yellow).

De Stafford in Caterham, we had Chaldon, Hill, Portley and Whyteleafe.

I always thought it was harsh that I was in Portley being a chubby lad.

Shame wasn't it! When I went back to get my A-Level certifcates in '76 I popped into the bogs only to find that it was all sweet-smelling with a tampx machine on the wall. Most weird!

Was it 76? So close.

1957-62 Not many on here. Not surprising really, given the quality of the education. I was reading a 58-59 School Magazine, where a C.Best ( who was only a couple of years ahead of me) was congratulated for being the first boy in the history of the School, to pass GCE in English Language.
