I did not take many photo’s in the 70’s while teaching at Okehampton School but here is one of the old “Annexe” in Crediton Road where my first classroom was in this block …. from left to right the Staffroom, room A1 (Me) , the entrance/cloakroom, room A2 (Mrs Morse). Albert Hawke

This building was to become a much larger school, Okehampton Secondary Modern School in the late 1940’s early 50’s. To be replaced by the Comprehensive system in the late 60’s early 70’s. The Secondary Modern School building was ‘aquired’ from DCC by the Police Authority in the 1980’s and the Lower School as it was then known moved into the old Grammar School site, much enlarged to be the Comprehensive school there today.
When I went to Oke Sec Modern the 1A classroom form master was Mr Wilmer who mostly taught geography. Mr Wilmer arranged to send me to the Grammar school after my 1st year because of my exam results and I am forever grateful.
