1975 Chapel

The room between the main entrance and the light well was used as the Chapel from 1975 until the mid 1990s.

This room was also used as the Chapel during World War II:

"The Chapel was moved from the front of the school to an internal room in 1940 as this was considered safer. It was moved back to the original room after the war."
