Yes, real life, but a world away from the school stories I used to read as a kid!

No, Nathan, although Neill was a friend of the school & visited from time to time. More info available here – http://www.pettarchiv.org.uk/survey-newsherwood4.htm

It reminds me of some of the old English storybooks about school life that I read as a child.

A great team. ‘Isla’ died only 2 years ago at the age of 96.

And, yes, 1955. I’m very, very old!

Some of those schools were grand, weren’t they? But such a short half-life — you need leaders who were both charismatic and sensible, and such are always in short supply.

But 1955? So early!
