Hi,
I was a pupil at Abbeyholme between 1963 and 65 and have very fond memories of the school. The headmaster and owner was a Mr Veltcamp he ran the school with his wife who was also the cook, their son Case was also a teacher at the school where he taught amongst other things PE, the entrance was through a curved walled driveway and we used to leave our bikes under the science labs, ther yard was more like a large garden than the traditional school yard and had trees at the bottom. we went to Holland on a school trip in my second year, a big event in the early 60's to a hostel in a village named Beekbergen, (the Veltcamps were Dutch),We had a Geography teacher by the name of Mr Cumberlidge a real user of the cane but a brilliant teacher and a prolific author of Geography books, one of which I still have along with a school tie and a scarf, in the orange and green of the Dutch flag colours.I hope this has stirred a few memories and it would be great if anybody could add anything to it.
