Thanks for your comments Jamie

Thanks for the nostalgia hit. I was at KNHS from 1979-1983. Loved every minute!! I live in NZ now and work as a high school teacher. Schools here are very different to UK schools. And nothing like KNHS. Go Malvern house!! 🥰👏

I use to love sitting near the cow pond. Brings great memories

[@thedurhamvlogger]

Yeah and seating on it when frozen over in the 60s

If it’s the pond I remember we all called the cow pond. Spent hours up there fishing with my dad

[@kevinbell5592]

Thanks Geraldine and your name for the pond is very apt as when we were there it was surrounded by cows footprints

[@Smiff1066]

Clive Ham, Pip Wilkinson and my self we new the Pond as the "Top Pond."

[@thedurhamvlogger]

Thanks for your message Geraldine and yes the cow pond

I was at the junior school then attended the high school from 1971 to 1976. Mr Wyatt retired as headmaster at the end of my first year and was replaced by a Mr Bygrave. The school went downhill after that, the 6th form was scrapped and by the time I was starting my 4th year you could no longer take O levels, only CSEs.

[@kevinbell5592]

Wow thanks for your comments which I found very interesting

[@marksears1327]

the pond is called bicknells pond

[@thedurhamvlogger]

I left in 1971 and i think it was CSE for us , Thanks for your message .

[@LyndaFrisby]

I left in 1983. We were still being given the choice of O Levels or CSEs. I did O level English. I still have my certificate. Great memories! 🥰
