Was that school once called Priory High or am I getting mixed up ?

Priory High was in Ford St, whereas Wheatley St. was in Wheatley St. There was interaction between the two schools though.

I once attended Priory High when it was being used as a Tech-College annex.

The gap between the two schools was the original Fairfax Street. The two schools were eventually merged and the name transferred to the newly opened Fairfax Street in 1963.

Miss Muriel Clews was our headmistress - a formidable lady and close friend of Selina Dix. One of the school houses was Selina Dix, the others being Godiva, Ellen Terry and George Eliot. Are there any girls out there who were in class 5F in 1952? Some of us are meeting for lunch on the 14th March and we would love to hear from anyone with information about "old girls" from the school.
When I started the school in September 1947 it was Wheatley Street School for Girls but in the November Miss Clews announced that the school would, in future, be known as The Priory High School for Girls. I think it was in the late fifties that the school closed and it was moved to Lyng Hall and became a comprehensive school.
I remember sliding down the sloping playground on long slides in icy weather - no health and safety considerations then. I also remember Miss Clews marching us all into the Hall after the death of King George VI to sing God Save the Queen and telling us to remember where we first sang the National Anthem for our Queen.

I hope you get some quick replies but there might be a bit of a wait... or not. I never stop being amazed by the links people have to each other. |
