David Wigley joined the Bretton community in 1958. His recollections are of a thoroughly enjoyable time, studying Music and being involved in college life.

He played the cello in the college orchestra, and sang in the Choral Society, the Chamber Choir and the Sunday Choir.

After leaving Bretton he went on to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.

“… There were about 100 students all training to teach either secondary or primary, and only disciplines such as Music, Art and Drama were taught as a two-year course. …”

Freda writes about her early experiences at Bretton and comments on the various influences on her life, and the adjustments that had to be made.
