Recently we have had several enquiries about Sizewell Hall when it was a School.  Do you know anything about it? This picture was taken about 1956 and was supplied by Virginia Peace, fourth from the left.  Elaine and Harry Tuyn are in the centre at the top. 

Did you attend either the Boarding School or “The Summer Holiday Course”? 

Where are you now?

Do you have any pictures that we can share on the web with other visitors?

Please contact us and perhaps you can be reunited with past friends.

When the School at Sizewell Hall closed in the later 1950s, Harry Tuyn started an English girls’ finishing school in Château d’Oex, near Gstaad.  Harry sadley died in Canada many years ago.

I’m glad to see dear old Sizewell Hall is being put to such good use. I was a pupil at Sizewell Hall School in 1952 until it closed in 1955. It was small a coeducational preparatory school for eight to 13-year-olds, joined for the summer by foreign students.
There were only three or four teachers, including the headmaster, Harry Tuyn, a Dutchman who taught us English, French, German, Latin and Greek by turns! It left me, for instance, with a lifelong passion for literature, nature study and music.
We were allowed to make full use of the 35 acres as our playground, except for the area beyond the pond, which was out of bounds in the summer after a boy was bitten by an adder. What was different from other schools I attended is that we seemed to be one community of children, tolerant of our differences in age, sex and background. One fellow pupil was Sheridan Morley, the theatre critic, whom I see in the paper died not long ago.
I would love to get in touch with others who were there at that time. Robert? Wayne? Gijs? Clara? Arnold? Geraldine? Dorothy? Harleh? Karen? Gretel? Mr Hobson? Miss Acheson? I wonder where you are now. Look after yourselves.
