An occasional series highlighting interesting items from the school archive.
by Benedict Blythe
This is an original boater hat from the archive. The boater was introduced in 1960 initially for sixth formers only with a different coloured band denoting prefects. The story made the front page of the local newspaper. It was soon made available for fifth formers.
It was actually available as a piece of uniform before this time as well. The photo below shows the school porter, Mr Mitchell, with pupils in the 1920s.
