Houses (named after significant people in the school's history)
Subjects like classical Greek, French for Business
A careers advisor
A separate main entrance that pupils were not to enter/exit through
A games master (with a fondness for watching pupil

The sports field was the gap between us and the local mental hospital.
The swimming pool was used by every primary school within walking distance.

29, but we had 6 rugby pitches, not 1, and when I was there, football was not considered a proper sport to play during PE.

We had a strict 'short back and sides' policy in our school. If yer hair touched yer collar, it was the cane. six of the best.
My mate got hold of a wig and put it on in the middle of assembly.
The whole school stopped singing, mid 'Jerusalem' and stared at him. over six hundred pairs of eyes on him as he belted out 'bring me my bowwww....'
Thirty five middle aged war veteran teachers eyes bulged out and veins throbbed in their temples.
poor mate couldn't sit down for a week
