We are delighted that you are enjoying our reminiscences of life at Q in years gone by in our Down the Decades articles. This week we travel back to 1971 as Miss Essame, Headmistress at Queenswood since 1944 retires.

Extracts from the 1971 Queenswoodian below include photographs spanning Miss Essame's time at Q, closing remarks of her Commemoration Day address where she shares the exciting news of the School's first computer terminal and some adverts which might make you smile!

We hope you enjoy the trip down the decades to 1971!
