Hi my name is Jenny, I was in Year 8 when Quantocks closed. I was the first pupil to know that the school was going to close because my parents had been told by Mr. Langley. I was then told that I couldn't tell anyone else, but I did tell my friend Alice. About a week later in assembly the announcement was made that the school was closing. The teachers then put thast song 'perfect Day' on and everyone got very teary. It was a very sad time. We all loved the school. By that time there were hardly any pupils in the school as numbers were very low. I think it was below 100. There were three girls in my year group and three boys. Looking forward to this years reunion. Jenny Robins |

Sounds surreal to say the least....glad I did not witness that. Did you end up going to another boarding school after that ? If so how did they compare ? Cheers, Nathan |

Very surreal indeed!!
I wonder why they decided to put on a tear-jerker of a record after telling you!!
I suppose when you hear that record it makes you think of that day and the school in general

hi, yeah i went to a different boarding school after that. It was called sexeys school and it was very different because it wasn't in the middle of no-where and you could actually walk to a shop! In the end at Quantocks going to never stwoey was the event of the week and there were nearly no school trips. Jenny |

The School opened 1964 during the summer holidays. Richard Williams came there during the holidays, Tony Budget and myself came the first day of term. Cheers Laurie |

Would you happen to know or have a record of that day, the first day of term - sounds like the start of the school to me! |
