Neil King - OH Staff 1974-2006 and Director of Sixth Form

co ed

I bear in mind in particular one occasion when I knew that co-education had become a natural way of being. It was during my 1995 production of Guys and Dolls where we had a big cast and used the sports hall as an extension to the green room. As part of a large cast there were a dozen or so girls from Years 11 to 13 who made up the chorus of ‘Hot Box’ girls, and they had to do a quick change behind a curtain. Where were the chorus of boys? Not trying to get a surreptitious peep, as my contemporaries might have done, but up the other end of the sports hall playing football. They had simply become used to each other.
