I've found some more historic film - It's about London schools & children and includes Fairlawn Primary School in 1960. (Hence the SE23 Topics connection) It is of particular interest to me because I was at Fairlawn in 1960 in the infants.

The film is called "To Live and Learn (1960) Part 1" and essentially it follows the schooling of children from Infants through to secondary school. There is also a Part 2, which I have omitted since it appears that the schools shown in this part are outside of SE23. However, it's still worth having a look at to complete the story.

Both of these films give an excellent insight into the methods of teaching during the period and for people lke myself, it's a blast from the past!
