For ex-students of St. Nicholas Grammar School, Northwood, its coeducational twin, St. Mary’s and their successor Haydon Comprehensive, I have found the following four reunion resources;

  • http://www.snobs.freeuk.com/, which seems to have been started and colonised by people that attended St. Nick’s before me, late ’60 and early 70’s. In December, the web master of the SNOBS site stated they were abandoning it; I have created a mirror or archive as at that time, here…. Its colour scheme is of its time. This has been withdrawn as it was hacked and contained a virus.
  • There is a facebook group, “St.Nicholas & St.Mary’s Grammar Schools (Northwood, Middlesex)” which has a broad age group of correspondents; it’s closed for some reason and you must login in to use the site.
  • There is a Friends Reunited page for the boy’s school, I haven’t researched the girls school or the co-educational successor. I expect FR requires a login, I used one, the school is known as “St Nicholas'”, and referred to as st-nicholas in the URLs. I
  • There is a Yahoo Groups’ mail alias and micro site for the year of ’74 or ’72, the mail archive is here... It was spawned out of Friends Reunited and a manual email circle. It too, needs you to have logged in.
