"Nunquam non paratus" - Never not prepared
A site for Old Girls of Lawnswood High School covering the time
from its inception in 1931 up to 1972 when it merged with Leeds Modern School.
From then on, the two parts formed the present-day Lawnswood School.
“Nunquam Non Paratus is etched in my memory - my mother was never
happy about the double negative; felt it was a bad example!”
Jeannie Carr ’59-’66
