Eric and Geoffrey had a vision that Spyway should always be a small school and that the number of boys should never exceed 50. On arrival, each pupil was given a number to identify his shoes, boots etc.
One autumn term, at its peak, Spyway suddenly found itself with 51 boys. Rather than simply give the new boy the number 51, Eric and Geoffrey insisted the orginal ethos of no more than 50 pupils should live on, and instead made the boy share the same number as his older brother, thus leading to much confusion in the laundry and the bootroom!

What a great story! I was number 15
Hate to tell you but I was number 58, the only number 58! Also having to walk home having been beaten at cricket by Hill Crest, what a place, cold as well!
