Welcome to the Guestbook
Feel free to add messages relating to the site and the school. The only rules are: real names only, no personal attacks and no unrelated messages (inappropriate messages may be edited/withdrawn without warning).

It would be appreciated if you gave an email address, where you now live and said when you were at the school, but you don't have to.

Plase note that if you click on an email address below you will need to replace ~DOT~ with . and ~AT~ with @ in your email program. The Guestbook presents these this way to avoid email address harvesters collecting your email addresses from the page. I know it's a pain, but it's very much better than the alternative.

I might be able to help a little.

The 1955 photograph labelled Unknown (6th) is either the Remove or the 6C. The person front row, seated, second from left is Ronald Tulloch who was in the "A" form with me throughout my time (remember I left immediately after O Levels to begin an RAF Apprenticeship). The reason I think it might be the Remove is that other than Neville Upton none of the others from my year who stayed on into the 6th form appear in the photograph. But which of the 6th forms the others are in I'm afraid I don't know. Perhaps the Remove was an Egner introduction - it certainly didn't feature in my time and I have no idea how it worked.

From Mike T: Thanks Bruce.

I currently have the school's photo albums, complete with names, which I've been using to do the massive update (while I will upload in stages over the next few months).

You're certainly correct - this "unknown 6th" is actually the Remove.

However, the boy second from the left is named on the school photo as Bayfield, which would be James Bayfield according to the admissions register.

I've been through the admissions records and can only find one "Tulloch". Robert Tulloch joined the school in 1950 and left in early 1955 (before this photo was taken).

He is shown in his first year in 1950/3A (incorrectly as "Roy")

As for the Remove, it could definitely have been an Egner thing as it only seems to have existed for 1955/6 academic year.
