One of the last photographs taken at the old school before we all moved over to the new school just across the playing field.

From Jonathan Kemp, November 2007: Hi Robert – I’m back row, furthest on the right – just above Ailie McAdam (my favoured country dancing partner – and now in charge of the restoration of St Pancras station). Christopher is my younger brother – now a film-maker in Bath. I reckon the date of 1970 is about right. This photo is in front of the old school and we moved to the new site across the field not long after I started there. Mr Nelson was headmaster at the time – a very nice man. We lived in Stanmore Place (I think it was “Place”) in Church Rd and my dad, John, was a founder member of the village society with Gillie McAdam and others, and started the flower show – in which he often won many classes! I’m sure many villagers will remember him well. My mother Carol, was a teacher at the school for a while too.
