Two women who went to a Brighton secondary school in the Seventies are organising a reunion for former pupils and teachers.

Brenda Jackson, now Tipping, and Gwen Walls, now Page, are trying to get as many pupils together who were at the school between 1967 and 1976.

They were both pupils at Whitehawk Secondary School, which became the Stanley Deason School and is now East Brighton College of Media Arts.

Mother-of-three Brenda, 44, who now lives in Portslade, is helping to organise the reunion on February 22.

She was at the school until she was 16.

She said: "I enjoyed going to the school and it will be nice meeting up with everyone."

Mother-of-two Gwen, 46, is still living in Whitehawk and is helping to organise the event, which will be held at The Bush pub in Arundel Road, Brighton.

She said: "It will be fun seeing what everyone's doing and what they look like. The boys had long hair then and now some of them are bald.

"We were cheeky at school but, when we were, we would have the blackboard rubber thrown at us."

Anyone interested in buying a ticket should telephone Brenda on 01273 418056 or Gwen on 07833 756167.
