I went to Kingsland from 1962 through to 1967
I had to leave then in the last year due to parents moving and went to another local school Banners Gate
Only after did I realise just how good Kingsland was
I remember Mrs Lamb teaching us German for which I still use when abroad
What a great school it was which I missed when leaving
Walking to Kingstanding baths for lessons which was miles away, doing pottery and singing in choir
All very advanced for its time and many other brilliant things
People don’t believe me when I say we used wooden pens with push in nibs and white ceramic ink pots! Sounds a bit Victorian but those were the days
