I AM trying to locate pupils from an asthmatic boarding school I attended in Seaford, East Sussex. It was called Pilgrims and survived in this form from 1955 to 1997.
I have found a school photograph taken in 1971 and I am trying to trace former pupils from the picture and others who attended.
So far, I have found four of the five teachers and 36 out of the 63 pupils in the photograph. All these I have traced want me to go on and locate the others and say that perhaps we could all meet up again after 27 years.
Pupils came from all over the UK, as this was the only one of its type in Europe at the time. We were sent to the school by the local authorities when, because of our health, we could cope no longer in mainstream schools.
I have other photographs of Pilgrims staff and pupils, if former members who attended the school could contact me
