Central Secondary School, Worksop
By Pat Malkin
The school pictured was once the Central Secondary School, it was built in 1925.
It was the school I attended and shows the girls playground and the dinner hall.
Centralians were called “Central Sausages” by the Priory School and the Priory School was called “Priory Humbugs” by the Centralians.
The Central School had a house point system where pupils could either win points or lose them.
The photograph of the closed gate would mean that I was late and would have some house points docked, which didn’t go down very well with the other members of the house.
I was in the house of Watts, which was green; Chopin was yellow, Shakespeare blue, and Newton red.
