We note the Stevenston Junior Secondary School in the 1950s and 60s. We are not entirely sure what a junior secondary school is, but assume it is something like an American junior high or middle school. The school was located in Stevenston, North Ayrshire, a county in the Scottish Lowlands. We do not know much about the history of the school. It began as the Stevenston Highter Grade. As Steventson is a small tinme, it apparently was coeducational from the beginning. The school then became Stevenston Junior Secondary. We know that this was the name in the late-1950s abd early 60s. The pupils called in the "Jun". We note the first year gymnastic team in 1961. And then it became Stevenston High School. There was another school in Stevenston called Ardeer Primary School which was in the bottom end of the town. There was also a Stevenston Primary School which we note in 1950. When the kids got to a certain grade, presumanly about 11 years old they then joined the secondary school. One source suggests Stevenston Junior Secondary School ultimately became a primry school. We can not yet confirm this. We are not sure what all these changes are all about, but may have to do with the wide-spread expansion of Britain's secondary system after World War II. We do not yet have infornation on the unifoirm at the school. There does not seem to have been a uniform in the earkly-60s portrait here (figure 1), but va blaxk blazer doies seem to bing phased in.
