Tony Lawrence, great nephew to D H Lawrence and himself a former pupil of the school, paid a private visit to the school along with other members of the Lawrence family.
Making the special trip from the US and Canada , the family members were given a tour of the School, as well as meeting headmaster Kevin Fear, and viewing photos and other archive memorabilia from Tony Lawrence’s and D H Lawrence’s time at the school. In addition, they also sampled a school dinner in the school’s new dining hall, giving Tony a chance to compare school dinners from the 1940’s and the 2010’s.
“We were delighted to welcome D H Lawrence’s relatives to the school,” said Kevin Fear, Headmaster at Nottingham High School. “He is one of our most famous pupils, and, as planning gets underway for the celebrations to mark the 500th anniversary of the school in 2013, their visit couldn’t have come at a better time.”
