I used to go to this school from 1956 to 1962. This looks like the side of the school nearest Stanley Rd. In the snow we used to make "slides" on the slope, great fun. I knew a girl who lived next to the back gate of the school. Her name was Jennifer Curry. My relations,the Finches, had a shop in Stanley and Cromwell Rd. We went to St. Mary's bay for a week on a school trip, 1961 and won the football tournament! Does anyone remember around that time?
