Photo taken at the rear of the school showing the senior classrooms. The green grass in front used to be the school gardens, run by Mr Gaskell "Dickie Duster".

Directly in front on the corner was the "woodwork" classroom, next on the left was the "metalwork" classroom and far left was the arts room. Great school, great times!

I simply don't remember any bee hives, I guess age has that effect!

Hi Alan, My name is Syd Bell. I'm probably in the same boat that you are in, I know your name but unfortunately can't put a face to the name. I attended Highfield from 1960 to 1964 and remember the time at Highfield with a great deal of fondness. You were never going to get the best academic credentials at Highfield, but it was one hell of a good school and I am glad I attended there.
My email is attached if you would like to communicate further.
