| School Number 208 |
What was yours? Mine was 430, but I did not use it much. The main thing was to put on chits so that the invoice went to the right school bill. There were still coat hooks on the corridor outside the upstairs form rooms with school numbers on them, but nobody used them. Older books had them written in the fly leaf Does anyone know the basis on which they were allocated? At Marlborough the entrants to the school are numbered consecutively and the number appears in the Register and identifies you for life in respect of school things. As far as I know Haileybury school numbers never had any such individuality and were presumably reused in other generations. When my own boys entered Haileybury I thought that school numbers would be a relic of a dead past. But no! They have been given a number which is more important to the modern Haileyburian than our numbers ever were to us. They are all four figures which together with their initials make up their school e-mail address.
