Re: Peel Park celebrates 100 years this year

I cannot comment on All Saints policy of uniform during the late fifties...but Eric in Canada might be able to enlighten us there.
My own daughter went to all Saint in the 70's and she did not wear uniform.
However back to Peel Park. I can remember wanting to go on a school trip and not having a green beret with the distinctive green and gold badge on it....I was told that if I wanted to go my parents would have to buy one.......so they did...and it ended its life after one wearing, in the River Dee at Chester! I could be wrong, but I thought that back then the uniform was compulsory.

I can also remember Mr Hinchcliffe telling us that while we were in uniform we were carrying the good name of the school and to behave in a manner which would not let the school down .
I remember the green gymslip with the yellow silky belt with tassels, my green and gold tie. Some teachers would inspect your shoes at the start of the day to make sure they had been polished
We all looked very smart.
