I FOR one was very sad to hear about the re-location of Oxford Grove Primary School (January 14), because it does not meet the requirements of today's modern teaching. I was a pupil there myself in the 70s.

Ironically, the school met the standards of several generations who served both in the First and Second World Wars, when there was less trouble with discipline, and a greater understanding of the Three Rs than there is today.

Many residents are also opposed to the building of a new school because it is to be built on a green field, one of the last few spaces we have left in this area.
