An absorbing study of an eventful period in the life of a school. E H Goddard (Ned) became headmaster at Aske’s School, Hatcham in 1932, when the country was suffering from the privations of post-depression. His headmastership continued through the second world war, the years of reconstruction and into the Cold War. With a wealth of detail recording the successes and failures of Aske’s School, Hatcham, it also provides an insight into its evolution in a changing social environment.
