The Bishop’s Stortford High School Memories of London Road

benches-outside-school

Before the site closed in summer 2024, we worked with the school art group to capture some iconic scenes from the school.

Students chose their favourite scenes and told us about the memories they provoked.  We have selected some here.

Thank you, Oscar, Kerem and Edward: the history you have recorded will be saved in our archive and could be used for future research or reminiscence projects.

Thank you, also to Miss Maullin and Mrs Edwards for supporting this project and Young Curator alumni Abigail for curating this online exhibition.

These are the stairs in the main corridor – I walk up these everyday – because so many boys use these stairs the wood has worn away. – Oscar
Science mural – Oscar
Main hall – honours boards – these are the people who have been honoured over the years in the school. – Oscar
The first picture I chose was the front office because it reminds me of when you got sick; this is where you sat.  -Kerem
This is the trophy cabinet where some of the trophies were kept in plus our house mascots. -Kerem
This is the gym in the pavilion and that’s were all the older student’s workout but unfortunately, we didn’t get to go in there. -Kerem
Science prep room – students are not normally allowed in here, so it was nice to have a look -Oscar
Stairwell – this is the stairwell to history and geography -Oscar
– Maths corridor – when I am lining up for Maths lessons I look up as it is a balcony to Geography and you can see people above – Oscar
This board is to show lots of toys that children made. -Edward
This wall has been signed by everyone who plays a part in a school production -Edward
This corridor has been walked on by thousands of students – Edward
This is the Sixth Form Centre, and this is the place we never got to go into. – Kerem
