Hello Kay,
Saw your note about Wedges. I was a pupil there in 1949 and 1950. The headmaster was Mr Pearmain. The girls had three dormatories - Lister, Fry and Nightingale. I was in Nightingale. The housemistresses were Miss Littlewood (who was 6' tall!!) and Miss Swaine. Would your sister remember Mrs Gardener who was a teacher there. A very kind man.
It was compulsory to do cross country runs every week - no matter what the weather. Country dancing on the playground as well.
Fond memories of the lumpy porridge - but we had fun and I loved it.
Have recently visited the site and it now is an upmarket housing estate.
Let me know if this helps.
