Paddy Angus/Scott-Clark

Paddy (Patricia) was the second of the Angus daughters, and a pupil at the school from 1943 to 1950. On the 1st of September 1964, she married Ian Scott-Clark, who became the deputy headmaster after Mr Angus retired, and she sometimes taught at the school herself. They had a son named Kim, who appears in one of the photos that John Morris contributed.

I've been in touch with her by e-mail in recent months; she's been friendly and helpful, and sent me four Stouts Hill Magazines for scanning. She still lives at Stouts Hill.

Update from Kim Scott-Clark, received on the 21st of October 2014:

I am very sorry to say that my mother Paddy Scott-Clark passed away last Saturday. She died at Gloucester hospital ten days after undergoing emergency stomach surgery. Although her death was not sudden and her family were able to be with her it is obviously a shock to everyone that knew her ... There will be a Thanksgiving service at St Giles Church, Uley, on Friday October 31st at 12.30pm and anyone will be very welcome.

I remember Mr scott clark teaching history and he had model planes hanging from the class room ceiling and caught myself and someone else using a peashooter to hit them. We got the slipper. Mrs Scott Clarke taught me fractions with a pie chart on the wall of her cottage when i first went to stouts hill, 51 years ago now. Many years later i would occasionally drop in and see her if visiting the area . A lovely caring woman. Robin Duncan
