Maine Attraction

1975 by John Vickers (Cert. Ed. 1974-1977) 'Gap year' was a term not yet heard. For me, with no overseas travelling experience and straight from school, the announcement that ten places were available for a one-term university exchange programme seemed an excellent opportunity to broaden horizons. In late August ten of us met at Heathrow, passports in hand. (John Vickers 1974-1977)Read more

Alumni Gathering in Pendle

I suspect that few us who made our way towards Pendle had a clear idea of what we would find when we got there.

Haunting memories of West Hayes

Alison Morgan, nee Gwinnell (B.Ed. 1983-87) writes in response to an article by Stephen Baldwin (Cert.Ed. 1963-66) in Venta 34 on life at West Hayes. "I arrived as a first year student at the front door of West Hayes in 1983, some 20 years after Mr Baldwin.
