Old School of the 70s & 80s nostalgia

[Ridgley]

I was thinking of all the secondary schools in South London that no longer is around anymore but was very well known in 70s & 80s I went to a girls school called Priory Park in Clapham North we then mixed with Stockwell Manor which now an Academy and my old school is now an annexe for Lambeth College. Be nice to know what school anyone else went to or remember?

My alma mater. Built in '56. Demolished in '90. Not a happy place for me.

He did. Linton Kwesi Johnson was another pupil and so was Danny Williams who knocked out Mike Tyson inside four rounds. It was a rough and tough school. No place for shrinking violets.

There have been loads of changes to the schools in and around the se22 area.

Honour Oak Girls School became Waverley and is now Harris girls.

William Penn briefly became Dulwich High school for boys. It then closed and Charter now occupies refurbished buildings on the site.

Friern girls school was empty for several years. It was then demolished and the site used as a temporary site for another school. Harris Boys School is now in a new building on the site.

St. John's and St. Clements primary school was in North Cross Road. The buildings have been converted to residential and the school now occupies the buildings previously used by Thomas Calton school.

My Mum worked in the kitchens at William Penn for many years as a cook/dinner lady.

She passed away 2 years ago but the stories she told me.

Right, ok.

Mum did have some good times there and many friends were made.

Most of the boys were a good bunch too!

Peckham Manor and Peckham girls school. Later to become flats (girls) and the infamous Warwick Park (boys). Now it's the Academy at Peckham I believe?

Louisa.

For me it was TC Ady's and Chumet Bob S

[adonirum]

All those schools along Peckham Road have gone since that era, Louisa.

Along with the two you mention, remember Wilson's Grammar (boys) and Mary Datchelor (girls) which were further along towards Camberwell Green.
