These pages look at aspects of Carlton-Le-Willows Grammar School’s
history - the background, the School’s
official opening, some of its staff and
some of its successes.

In
“Panoramas” we will be presenting
panoramic photos of the whole school, beginning with the very first, taken in 1954. Other panoramas will be added in due
course. ·
“Setting
the Scene” looks at the historical and social background when the School
accepted its first pupils and first opened its doors. ·
“The
School in 1956” describes its official opening by Lord Wolfenden: you can read the programme and some
newspaper coverage of the event. The
programme includes a plan of the school at that time. ·
“Stephen
Marshall” is a memoir of the founding headmaster by his son, Tim;
and “Bill Todd” is a memoir of “Toddy”, the first head of Music,
by his daughter Marcia. ·
“Haydn
Riley” is a tribute to a master craftsman and the school’s first Woodwork
teacher by an early pupil, Stuart
Andrews. ·
“Magazine”
has material from School Magazines from the first in 1957 up to 1972, included by permission of the present
School. |

Our Grammar School’s story ended in 1973, when it became a Comprehensive, but for this site it’s hardly begun: there’s lots more that could be
told, lots more than this site has
collected. |

Tell us how was life for you, then and
since. What did you hope for at
school, and how did that change? Did Carlton-Le-Willows deliver what you
wanted, or what you later found you
needed? How did it compare with the
education your own children or younger colleagues received? |

You could offer a complete feature for this
section, or tell it to us informally
so we can write it up ourselves. Or
you can just give us interesting scraps of information we can incorporate in
future features. We’d also like images
or original material we can scan for the site. You can send them to us physically or via email. |
