50th anniversary celebrations have been going on at John Mason Secondary School. They had a Fun Day last Saturday and an assembly to celebrate the anniversary mid week.
Yesterday, I went to the school’s O6 Art Gallery where, beyond the A Level Course work exhibition, there was a 50th anniversary exhibition…
Last Saturday at the Fun Day a lot of the pupils dressed up. Years 7s in 1970s, year 8s in 80s, year 9 in 90s, and other years in 60s gear. But as I was not there to see them, here is the real thing, thanks to Friend Reunited…
A sixth form group from the late 60s.
An early 70s school group.
A group that went on a school trip in the 198os.
A year group in the late 1990s or 2000s.
As an ex-pupil of John Mason (1972 onwards) I am currently writing an article on its change from grammer school to comprehensive status in 1972..;the year I started there in the first form. I am trying to source all possible material and came across this item during web search. I Wonder if the submitter of this article would have any further information on John Mason School which would be of interest to me? thanks
