Did anyone here go to Sydenham County Girls School in Dartmouth Road from 1969-74? I think it's just called Sydenham now.
I remember the smart uniforms and house system, and you and the whole school were in trouble if you were seen even eating in public with the uniform on - including pudding basin hats.There was hardly any trouble in those days. The headmistress then was Mrs Zackerwitch. I was in Yellow (Austen) House. Mini skirts were just finishing and maxi ones were just coming in so we didnt know what to wear. I used to get a 108b from Lower Syd up to Cobbs' then either a 122 or 12 to school - or walk depending on weather (I think we had free bus passes - brown card?).
