Word has it that there were one or two dissenting voices in the late 1980s when the topic of co-education was first raised. As well as the ‘odd’ governor and several old boys, those other ‘voices’ seemed to be mainly in the PE and Games Department. The thinking behind this from the department view was that with the numbers of boys at the school being reduced, it would have an impact on the quality and standard of the boys’ major games. How wrong we were!!
