In 1960 my dad was a pupil at Stopsley High School in Luton. At the same time the BBC made a film titled ‘King’s Hill Modern’, a work of fiction which used Stopsley High school as the set.
Details of the film can be found below.
My dad was involved in the making of the film while a pupil at the school, tasked by his headmaster Dr Walter Roy to look after the film crew during the filming, which took place within the girls school and the boys school and which the filming schedule shows took place 11 – 15 July 1960.
The schools dad told me were built as left and right twins but were kept separate, so he was the first boy allowed into the girls school with the BBC. The schools joined up later in 1960.
Below is the thank you letter dad received from the BBC.
