Old Surbiton Schools

11 years ago...

Hello, does anybody remember two schools from the late 1950s Early 1960s ?

The first I went to was Hursley Preparatory School, run by a Mrs Kenney, I think this is now Hursley Court in Lovelace Gardens.

After that I went to St. Bernard's, I am not sure where this was but possibly along Hook Road as we lived off there and I used to walk home with my Mum or Grandad.

Any info on either school would be lovely as I remember so little and we moved away when I was eight.
