Comment on Stoke Damerel High School For Girls, Plymouth by Anne Burnett

I went there for a brief period in 1967-8. Miss Dixon was head, Mrs Grose taught maths I think. My form teacher was Miss Causley – art. I remember the up and down staircases and the playground on the roof. I don’t remember the third staircase. But liked the school and wish I could have stayed.

hi i met some folks who were patients a long time back and reported that they had an awful time at cherry knowle… from my experience though it was the same in St Mary’s and other similar hospitals… probably down to lack of understanding and lack of staff though… it scares me to think the government cut backs will affect the lives of people with mental health problems as there are some extremely vulnerable people and when staffing is cut it results in short cuts…

It’s not really rotting away, it’s preserved in its current state.

I was there, with a break, between 1970 and 1975. Miss Dixon was Head and I remember Mr Liddicote (Music), Mr Montague (Biology), Mr Screech (English), Miss Squires. i was in Caville House. I remember that there were 3 sets of stairs, one ‘up’, one ‘down’ and one for staff and prefects. This meant there was a one way system for moving around between lessons.

My great great great grandparents and some of their children worked here in the 1830s plus. They lived in Woodside Lane, Kings Stanley. Their cottages are long gone.
