School Daze…

Nick gets invited to revisit his childhood secondary school in Stanground, Peterborough by the principal Gary Carlile of Stanground Academy.

Andy Blithe of a Aturn Films accompanied Nick to capture more footage for Nick’s documentary “ The Story So Far” due for cinematic release this year.

Gary kindly spent time showing Nick around the school and all of his old familiar stomping grounds. Nick shared many memories with Gary and the teaching staff as the party moved from class to class retracing many of Nick’s old steps.

Nick’s taken back to the school swimming pool although a newer version.

A visit to the school’s pool where Nick swam every day during training for competitive swimming, was particularly poignant.

The visit was also captured by the Peterborough Telegraph’s Head photographer and personal friend of many years Dave Lowndes.

A huge thank you to all the staff and pupils at Stanground Academy for making us so welcome, it was a fantastic visit and it’s the only time I’ve been to school without getting lines or the cane!

What a wonderful day!
