“Every time I walk past the school or through the school, it just doesn’t seem real. It doesn’t seem real that come September I won’t see any boys on the rugby pitch. I won’t see any girls on the rounders pitch. I won’t hear music streaming softly out of the music block. I won’t see anyone on the benches. There won’t be any art on the art block walls. I won’t hear the chapel organ on a Tuesday. I won’t rush to Priory to sing in the choir on a Friday. I won’t have the RSM shouting out orders in CCF on a Thursday.
And that’s sad.”
Thing I has written a new post – probably the last she’ll do on the closing of St Bees School. She ponders over the impact of the loss and is a very tender dealing with the subject.
I hate loss – of a school, of a way of life, of a friend – but these things happen for a reason and all you can do is work through them, learn from it all and move on. Thing I is doing that here.

Loved the post Ken. It so beautifully captures the loss that the school’s closing must mean to so many children. For most of us, a large part of our memories, comprise those from school days. To many this closing would mean a lot of change…
