Description
Summary:	As the last of Ashmead Community College's 1950s structure is demolished, former pupils and teachers return to the school to talk about their days there. As they walk round the grounds, memories are jogged and comparisons are made with the schools of today. Pupils from the 1950s remember post war values, classroom antics and punishments and two teachers, who both spent 30 years at the school, talk of their experiences. In contrast, pupils from the 1970s describe the more radical political and social climate of that decade at the school. The school is currently in transition, awaiting a move to a new Academy premises. The Principal explains how the school is adjusting to today's society, and present day pupils talk about the things that they think will make their school days memorable.
