Haydock Sports College, Merseyside

The school was officially opened in February 1932 by Sir Percy Meadon, Director of Education for Lancashire. There were two quite distinct departments, one for boys the other for girls. The Headmaster of the Boys' School was Mr A Ackroyd who had been an assistant master at Morecambe Grammar School. The Headmistress of the Girls' School was Miss A Kenyon (later Mrs Watson) who had come from Wellingborough High School. There was very little liaison between the two departments although they used the same building. An invisible line was drawn between classrooms 14 and 15 and neither staff nor pupils crossed it.
