Finchley Catholic High School 1972

This film was made in 1972 at Finchley Catholic High School (previously Finchley Catholic Grammar School) ... it was meant as a bit of "light relief" at the time and it didn't necessarily paint the school in the best possible light ... it is now released into the community as a fond reminder to those who were there ... and as a snapshot from the past for the many who came later ... enjoy!!
