Post a photo of your School/your dream School

Chucklefiend

I'm currently feeling really nostalgic about my school days (I soo wish I was back there) :bawling:

So I thought I'd start a thread where people could post photos of their schools and reminisce about their childhoods. I really loved my school and was very lucky that my dream school and my actual school were pretty much one and the same.

So here it is:

Farnborough Hill School :love:

My old school, don't be fooled by the looks as I was. It was a disgrace of a school.

Dream School:

Edit: Not that I'm a huge HP fan, it's just a beast of a building. Huge grounds, an interesting mix of teaching staff and, above all, boss school dinners.

I was wondering how long it'd be until somebody posted that. :rolleyes:

You know the inspiration for the design of Hogwarts was based on a real school called Fettes College:

Was never going to be long, but let's face it, it's a strong contender for best fantasy school.

And no, I didn't.

Judging by all the sports facilities, I'm guessing it's a specialist sports school?

Only school with a 50 meter pool in the country.

I used to live in Singapore, like 10 schools all had a 50 meter pool.

One school even had two.

Thats the difference! :colone:

My old old school, I will miss this too! (Going back to visit in the Summer though. :colone:

)

Oh ma gosh. Your old school. Is. Awesome. you're so lucky to have lived abroad too! My school (just left) doesn't even have a pool, or even a food tech department :tongue:

I'm going to a new one, very exciting!
Are you a swimmer then?

Yeah, swimming is my thing. :P

My family has kind of hopped from place to place over the years so I have lived in quite a few places, the downside is that you are constantly having to say goodbye to friends and make new ones.

Millfield doesn't do food tech and neither does UWC, which is a shame because I love cooking. :frown:

Cool

trampolining is mine!
A girl in my school is on the Olympic swimming team, she's only 16 :eek:

Yeah, i can imagine it sucks to have to say goodbye, but it would be really nice to see the world etc.
Cooking is amazing fun and a life skill! you'd think that more places would teach it :angry:

Morpeth School in Tower Hamlets, East London. Not quite as luxorious as some of the places shown here already!

That would be my dream, it's Summerhill School in Suffolk. It's a small boarding school where all the decisions are made democratically, with both students and staff voting, and pupils having huge amounts of freedom - to the extent of all lessons being optional. Seems to work suprisingly well in practise for something which sounds so utopic.

Really? Siobhan goes to your school? :beard:

She deserved her place there tbh, trains bloody hard.

I competed at the Olympic qualifers but obviously got trounced by the bigger guys. Hopefully I'll get Commonwealth in my gap yah. I'm happy in the GB development squad, I don't have to compete with Liam Tancock or Mark Foster then. :colone:

Ah, so swimming is your 'proper' thing, like career thing! :eek:

WOW! Trampolining is just a fun thing i do, i'm definitely not good at it.
Yeah, i was gobsmacked, most other swimmers are about 20 and then she got in!
That's too bad, but i guess the older ones have an advantage. Plus, you could always try for Rio '16 too!
