John A Hargreaves was head teacher at Hardenhuish School when I was there - I left in 1975 to study for a BSC in Geography and then I did a post-graduate Librarianship diploma in Aberystwyth. , not my image : fair use & public information

Letter concerning J A Hargreaves. . not my image ; fair use & public information . I really do wonder what was behind JAH "suddenly" retiring in [i think] September 1981. All I know is that I personally detested him, as he played favourites and was creepy to say the least. [despite being a Geographer I never had the "pleasure" of lessons with him - even during the flu epidemic in 1974 [? on date, but the flu did cause minor chaos as a lot of staff and pupils were ill]

This looks suspiciously like a retirement presentation to an ex-member of staff at Hardenhuish School. The "new block" is in the background. I recognise several of those faces ... but one I can name for certain is the person 3rd from left in the back row. That's Morgan Perkins, who taught me "A level" geography in the early 1970s - I got on very well with him and I think he was pleased I went on to do the subject at degree level.

The Eastern wing of the old Grammar School building in Chippenham. I remember these very well (notes will give the subject / rooms I recall from the mid-1970s - see also the 1990 aerial image).

Not My Image : Taken from google earth. Fair Use & Educational Purposes Shows the full extent of Hardenhuish School in 1999. There are a few changes from the late 1970s, and there have been further alterations in more recent years. The red-roofed structure is "new" ... to be annotated. A bit of websearching suggests that this is the Silverwood School's Chippenham campus - a co-ed special education needs school for 4 to 19 year olds.
