EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1950s, capturing a vibrant scene at Arnold County High School in Nottinghamshire. From the vantage point of the houseblock roof, we are treated to a panoramic view of the main courtyard bustling with school children during breaktime. The angular lines and modern architecture of the school building create an intriguing backdrop for this snapshot of post-war education. Arnold County High School was known for its unique house system, which fostered healthy competition among students in sports, academics, and social activities. The houseblock surrounding the central courtyard housed various facilities such as dining rooms, kitchens, and accommodations for housemasters. This innovative approach to organizing student life aimed to promote camaraderie and personal growth. Published in Team Spirit, Laing company's newsletter in October 1959, this photograph stands as a testament to the successful completion of this ambitious educational project. It captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects on an era when childhood memories were shaped within these walls. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us of our own experiences growing up – friendships formed during breaktime chatter and shared laughter echoing through hallways adorned with uniforms from days gone by. A nostalgic glimpse into history that continues to resonate with anyone who has ever walked through those school gates.
