As an experiment,
I've started an MGS group on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5324373242
.
I know we are all a
bit too old for this, but it may find more people. And it is
trendy !

A recent launch ceremony saw special guests celebrate with pupils and staff the official launch of the 'Morecambe Community High School Specialist College for Maths and Computing'.

story

MORECAMBE High School could be
about to change its name after winning specialist school status
and a £640,000 grant to spend on improvements over the next
four years.
The board of governors will meet
in March to decide if the school should be re-named 'Morecambe
Maths and Computing College' after Morecambe High was awarded
specialist school status in those two subjects. If the governors
approve, this would be the first name change for Morecambe High
since it altered from Morecambe Grammar School in the early
1970s.

Finch went to Lancaster Rd school, then Lancaster Girls Grammar.
She will be known to many. She writes " I am living in Canada
just outside of Toronto and have just retired this year. I was a
headmistress in a private girls’ school but was previously a
head of an inner city multicultural mixed school. I have lived in
Canada since 1974 and previously was at the University of
Pennsylvania in Philadelphia for 1 year. I have two sons 26 and
21. I am off travelling to Australia in the New Year. We cruise
from LA to Sydney via French Polynesia and will spend 7 weeks in
OZ. After that we return through Hawaii." Emails can be
