BG in 1953

Some fascinating historical footage of Bilton Grange in 1953 has emerged. It was taken by Mr Joe Richardson, a long-serving French master at the school, who died earlier this year, and who was remembered at the Chapel Service yesterday, attended by many of his former pupils. He had a cine camera and one of his hobbies was making home movies showing life at Bilton Grange. These are now a valuable historical record, and we have started to upload them to the Internet so that they can be seen by a wider audience than just those who attended the service.

We hope that the present-day children of BG will also find them fascinating- just how has the school changed?

From the BG Video Archives

Some of our older videos have been uploaded to YouTube, where they will undoubtedly be of interest to the OBs who appeared in them. First in this series are two videos from a 2001 trip for the third form to the RAF museum in Hendon. The first video shows the aircraft museum part and the second the Science 'Fun n' Flight" hands-on activities. One or two elder brothers and sisters of current BG pupils feature- can you spot them?
