User talk:Pitt House School

Researched By: Shaun Lodge, Updated By: Keeper of files.

Pitt House School opened in the year 1959, prior to this it had been a convalescent home run by the Sisters of St John of clever from 1866 to 1959. Pitt House started at Torquay and not at Chudleigh as some would have you beleive. The Rocklands School at Chudleigh was known as just that, but after talks adopted the Pitt House School uniform and was independent of Pitt House franchise. The Rocklands school was demolished to make way for an housing complex. The grounds are still called Rocklands, and not Stokelake as some again would have you beleive. On the opening of Pitt House School this was both junior and senior to it's intake of pupils and Rocklands did not become the junior section of the school. The school closed it's doors for the final time, in 1984. Shortly after, the school was demolished. Please beware of misinformation that people post as knowledgable fact..., and it would help if these people refrained from this shot in the dark assertions.
