Although this picture is 1936, I went to Fairlight School in the late 1960's/1970's. I would think from the picture that this would have been the lower part of the school as�I remember the style of the windows when in the Infants School which was the lower part of the school.

We lived in Franklin Street Brighton and my brothers and sisters Jean, June, Brian, Keith and myself went to Fairlight Primary School. My sisters even stayed at Fairlight for Senior School. This is a wonderful school. teachers like Miss Dunstan, Miss Reid, Mr Morrison, and Mr & Mrs Fluck the caretakers. The dinners were just fanstatic; all cooked on the premises fresh vegetables. All the dinner ladies lived nearby. it was just like home and in the infants we used to have to go to bed after lunch we had camp beds and blankets in class but before that we had to have cod liver oil. We all knew one another from the area very good days
