The Old Bordenian Association

Len Grice, who died on December 23rd 2009 at the age of 86, was born in Sheerness and started his education at a school whose headmaster was Mr Bryceson, father of Leslie who became a lifelong friend.  At eleven, Len went to Borden Grammar School and thoroughly enjoyed his years there.  In his autobiography, which he wrote for his grandchildren when he could still see, he said that “to have been able to go to Borden Grammar School was a great privilege – and a handful of outstanding teachers helped me enormously.”  He was involved in sport and in music (he played the trumpet in the orchestra) as well as academic work and achieved excellent results in the Higher School exams in 1941.
