This photograph was given to me by my cousin Pauline Shaw nee Hough and shows the sixth form at Grangefield Grammar School, possibly taken in 1968. Pauline is sat on the extreme left of the front row. Can you name the staff or any of the pupils?

I knew Pauline Hough at Grangefield in our first year there. We were good friends. I then moved to Bristol with my parents and lost touch .
It was a great Grammar School. Be great if you could pass on my email to her.

Can’t remember how many lower 6th classes there were but I was in VI (1)H. The H was for Mr Hodgson (English) and our form room was 13, next to the front entrance hall.

Three faces I vaguely remember from the A forms Margaret Malcolm, Glynis Jones and Kathleen Whyman. These pupils, like myself, will all be in their 70th year now!

The name Pauline Hough reminds me of a 6th form conference held in the boys’ school in 1966 and chaired by Mr (Rupert) Bradshaw. Having given his usual speech and welcomed the prospective 6th formers with promises of ‘tea and current buns’ he was allocating groups of us by name to our respective classrooms to hear about the benefits of a 6th form education. On reading out a list of initials and surname he finished with the last name and stated ‘……. Pee Hough to room….”. I don’t think he realised his faux pas as, mainly the boys in the audience tittered quite audibly.

Mr Nuttall was also teaching at the school when I attended in the 1950s. I saw one comment posted mentioned Mrs Atkinson, Biology. She must have married as in my years there she was Miss Ruth Johnson, there was another teacher , Miss Johnson, Sheila, I think, she taught English, alongside Mr John Hodgson.
