Title: old Harris Academy
Post by: snowolf on Wednesday 04 June 25 08:55 BST (UK)

Hi ,
 Just wondering , as i heard  that a relative went to the Harris  when it was in Park Place , this was about 1910 -1916 (ish)....also it was a fee paying school at that time ??...is there school records available to see if it's true she went there ??
thanks
Snowolf :)

Plenty of items in the papers re the place. Many refer to concerts where pupils are named. The chances of the subject of your search being mentioned may be slim - but you never know!

1914 examples
