plantfit 7,535 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I notice there are no posts on the girls schools at Clifton apart from Clifton hall, did any of you ladies attend either Farnborough or Charnwood in the 60's/70's? Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bing 78 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I didn't (wrong gender, I was at Fairham) but my two sisters Valerie and Alison Bingham were at Charnwood as was my first wife, Carole Fowler. This would be mid to late 1960s. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,535 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Thanks for reply Bing, I was beginning to wonder if these schools existed with not being replied to, what years were you at Fairham, I was there 64-68, Fleming house Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bing 78 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 1959 to 1965, also Fleming House. So we overlapped by a year or so. Mr Hind was housemaster, a good man. I was in Fe, tutor was Mr. Penchion. Until I moved here in Thailand I still had my old school tie too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeeBee 1 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Charnwood was a lovely school which cared for its pupils. At least, that's the way I recall it when I taught there from '75 to the early '80s when it closed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 I lived opposite Farnborough School from around 73 up to 75 when I moved to North Yorks, and it was mixed all that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,380 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 When Farnborough first opened it was all boys, Charnwood just up the road was all girls. Fairham again all boys when it opened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
