If anyone can name an English Literature master from the school in the period 1939-1946, please could they get in touch by email, or by commenting on this post? We have had an enquiry from an Old Boy of the era.

The organisation for past pupils of Bournemouth School
I was a pupil at the school 1937-1941) as a scholarship boy, I had to leave after the School Certificate exams; I had three weeks in the 6th form, then the scholarship expired. During my time the Senior English master was “Buck” (after the hero of a B-picture space travel serial) Rogers. The Assistant English master was Herbert Wiseman — a handsome man, he strongly resembled a then notable actor, Barry K. Barnes (and, I believe, acted in Bournemouth Little Theatre productions).
Many thanks Dennis, I shall pass this on.
I was a pupil from 1954 to 1960 and remember ‘Herbie’ Wiseman then – a perfect Gent.
