Pupils and staff at Oxford's Cheney School in 1955
THÍS is the second part of the panoramic picture of staff and pupils at Cheney School in Headington in 1955.
As we recalled (Memory Lane, May 30), it replaced the old Secondary Technical School in St Ebbe’s a few months earlier.
At the official opening in October, 1954, Sir Charles Morris, Vice-Chancellor of Leeds University, said its aim was to create opportunities for boys and girls “whose imagination would be fired by the use of their brains and the use of their skills”.
Look out for the final part of the picture soon.
