Olds merged with Sandersons not so long ago and is now called School House.

Fields (my house 93-98) is now a girls house although I'm sure people would say it has always been that.

Yep, Dennis Day. Fields was top left corner of the upper quad, just before the stone stairs up to the science block.

 

[Coach_Carter_92]

I don't even remember a sports day taking place when I was there! Out of interest, which one were you in at Benfield? Was it dirty cheating Lewes? Or the far superior Bramber?

When were you there? I was an honest Pevensey boy

 

[BN9 BHA]

Still have the feeling it was Ditching & not Windover, but it was a long time ago. I was in Dyke (no pun)

It was Windover, I'm 99.9% sure! I woke up at 4.30 AM today and remembered it.
