These are great things to find in books! :) I found a heap of dead ants in one of mine ...

Yuk! Why do insects like books?

How interesting! I was intrigued by the envelope and after a bit of trial and error, came across the Royal Masonic School in Rickmansworth, the Junior branch of which moved to Weybridge in 1918. Could this be it? The address definitely starts with Junior and the next word could, at a stretch, be Masonic. Here's the wiki entry - the Junior school move is mentioned at 2.2 Clapham J in the contents listing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Masonic_School

Oh well done! That does look right. I see the Juniors remained in Weybridge until 1973.

Crumbs! I know a former headmistress at the Royal Masonic School - well, a Royal Masonic School - perhaps there are many? Not as long ago as that, but small world?

How classy! We got stars at junior school but nothing at all after that: no houses, no prizes until you left.

As Karen has suggested (comment was screened for a while). That's two of you much better readers than I am. Now if it had been written in the seventeenth century...
