' A year or two after I arrived (I started in 1956) a long single-storey pre-fabricated block was built here to house another 3 or 4 classrooms. At its peak while I was there I think that Shirley House had about 180 pupils, mostly day boys like me(I lived in nearby Stratford Road). I don't know how many borders there were; perhaps 20-25. There were four school 'houses' - Cawdor, Auchinleck, Loudon and Crawford, if my memory serves me well. Sports days were organised on a house basis with different coloured sashes worn by the four house teams. The school owners/head governors were Scots, the Stewart family, hence the Scottish house names. '
