What Secondary School did you go to?

[Athers]

Following on from the junior school thread.

Highfield High. Left in 1999. Some bizarre goings on during my time there. Music teacher killed himself after accusations of him having inappropriate relations with a female pupil. Headmaster had a sex change shortly after I left. Fair play to her

King Edwards.
I despise the new name ArnoldKEQMS. It will always be King Edwards.

I think the type of people attracted to private schools like AKS nowadays love all that cod abbreviation nonsense. It seems to fit with the big accountancy and consultancy firms where a smattering of the progeny end up.

Are you sure you didn't leave in 1980? I was in the year below you and left in '81.
