CARRY ON MATRON

I was an assistant schoolmaster at Spyway for the spring term in 1966 while it was under the Warners. 
I thought the place a very strange set-up - I knew about prep schools as I had been at one myself - but Spyway was small and quirky. 
My main memory is of another supply teacher (a law student) who formed a relationship with the assistant matron (female). 
They were not allowed to be seen together by the boys so I had to walk with them until they were out of sight at which point I returned to the school and left them to their own devices.
I think I am right in thinking they did in fact marry. The restriction did not seem fair as the senior matron was well known to be carrying on with another master. 
There was another master who had retained his title of Major.
