Do you realise that this is the only post about SHS Seaford apart from the Terry video, so sad it closed down, difficult to find where it was now, even Newlands not there, Richard |

Do you realise this is the only reminder of Stoke House School aprt from the fab sports day video from Bean, such a shame for many of us who spent 4 to 5 years of our lives there, such a support for those of us who'se parents were abroad, cannot find any Stoke House Annals, does anyone have any spares or photocopies?

Welcome back Charles - you were SO much younger than me; even younger than baby brother Jamie (see posts above); Brunswick had nothing to do with Stoke House in my era. I loathed Mrs Piper (done for stealing from a shop in my time; very much hushed up); dreadful woman with steel hair and face like a sulking horse. I loathed Pippy but he was younger too; no wobbly sermons he - the only wobbles I saw was when one hand was deep in his pocket as he thrashed my backside. Ghastly man; white face; dyed black hair; bottle bottom glasses. Hated him; unfortunately, looking back, I think he loved me but in the perverted way of all sexual sadists.
But as the Pope has said I've put all that behind me! My dislike of Stoke House was a major part of my love for the far better Charterhouse with great teachers (one of whom still lives - he and his wife are almost 100), who instilled in me one of the great passions of my life - adoration of literature (I still read a book a day).
Keep posting Charles - you've clearly got many years to go yet (let's hope I can still outlast you).
