Also there was boy there whose uncle did the cartoons for Dan Dare in the Eagle, so he got them the week before they came out in the comic. Latin and Greek were taught by a batty old fellow called 'Mothy' Moore, who was keen on fishing. I remenber Mr Hockley (French and English?) and Col 'Frothy' Frith (Maths and Geog). David Tompkins, I am pretty sure I remember you - you must have been in my year. I was at Normandale School, with my two brothers, around 1957-1962. Posted by John Rivett-Carnac on at 10:33 pm Would love to know any more history of The Beehive, must have been fabulous when it was a family home.

Sadly she died a couple of years ago aged 93,4 or 5. lived near me,wonderful old girl, remembers every thing about all the girls & even what they are up to now. Fascinating to read all the history of the old place.Īlthough all my Old Bees are spread all over the country, we still keep in constant touch & visit each other with our families, every time out come the old school photos!!! Iremember all the names Margaret Morley mentions,If anyone still has the photo of the whole school sitting in front of it,I'm a little squirt sitting on floor in front row. Margaret Mallinson (I think) was the only other New Girl. I too went to The Beehive,starting in the January term of 1958,shared a dormitory with Nicola Paget Scott in The Cottage.
