Countdown to Closure
Cuffley Camp June 1985
Class 2 went to Cuffley camp
from 29th June to 1st July.
The project on the history of the school, undertaken during the final two termsof the school, was looking at the total history of the school, including its 90 years on the original site in Bedmond Road. Numerous past pupils and staff visited the school to talk to the children and give them their reminiscences, and some of these were recorded and incorporated in the booklet which was later produced. The children themselves wrote poems and articles about the history of the school, which were also incorporated in the booklet. Shown here are the pages from the finished A5 booklet, excluding those articles reproduced in full or fully transcribed on the main school webpage. Local artist, and father of one of the pupils, Colin Hall, designed the covers.
