Nailsworth Secondary Modern School

Updated 11 July 2009

Here are some nostalgic photos of Nailsworth School in the 1950s and 1960s, the group shots courtesy of former Highwoodian 'Ann'.

Can anyone help us with names?

Nailsworth Secondary Modern School was opened in the old British school building in 1951.
By 1959, the School had 200 pupils.
In 1964, the School moved to new buildings on the forest Green campus and became known as Highwood School.

School Cooks: Ms Hooper, Stanton and Beard with Headmaster Mr Wallis in the 1950s
