Recommended Posts

You were sent a letter on a specified day - I'm sure mine arrived on a Saturday,and on the following Monday everybody in my class at Primary School was talking about it(49 of us in J4A at Abbey Lane ,and we all passed -imagine having 49 in a class now!)

Anyway, I have a clear memory of the postman waiting at the door as my Dad opened the envelope ,to see if I'd passed - luckily I had!

 

You didn't need to open the envelope to know whether you'd passed or not. A large brown envelope meant "yes," a small white one "no." Inside the brown envelope was a letter stating which grammar school you had been assigned to. In my case it was High Storrs.
