Just started reading 'Risinghill' and it's bloody great. The story of Risinghill Comprehensive School in Islington, which was opened in 1960 and closed down in 1965, becoming the subject of sensational headlines of the "OUTRAGEOUS CARRY-ONS IN PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL" sort along the way. The story is told by Leila Berg, and she is absolutely furious.
Lovely. Best post on this blog in quite a while :)
