An old boy of High Pavement Grammar School takes a picture of the entrance he went through every school day of his life sixty years before. See SK5641 : The entrance to Forest Fields Primary School for his view. In grammar-school days the gabled building in the background was known as T Block. Like the infant school to the left and the main building to the right, it is part of the enlarged primary school.

Forest Fields Primary is the fourth school – after High Pavement and Forest Fields Grammar Schools and Claremont Secondary – to occupy the Grade II listed building on Stanley Road, which was refurbished at a cost of £6.5m in 2013-14.

This picture was taken during a tour of the building by Old Paviors (and two Old Forestians), some of whose memories of the school dated back to the late 1930s.

SK5641 : First High Pavement, then Forest Fields shows the building in 2003.
SK5641 : Recycling my old school and SK5641 : Forest Fields: school restoration show building work in progress in 2013.
