My First Year at Wennington School

B4

I came to Wennington School in the autumn of 1968.

COME

B5

The school itself was doing rather well; it had a new theatre and science building but the rest of the school was much as it had been for years before.

BE

B6

Life in general was not too bad for me. In the first year I was bullied a bit by a couple of boys. There were always two or three pupils in every class that did get some bullying from the others.

BULLY

B7

However, that did not last long. Personally, I tended to leave my fellow pupils alone as I was more interested in making life hell for the staff.

NOT LAST

B8

The most enjoyable aspect of school life for an eleven-year-old Londoner was going to the woods.

ENJOYABLE

B9

I spent most of my free time during the first few weeks exploring the woods in the company of a classmate.

EXPLORE

B10

Playing down the woods so much had its effects. My group parent report for the summer term of my first year stated: ‘He also succeeds in getting dirtier in a short space of time than any other boy I have known before’.
