Stonemead School is Ashmead


The school that's mentioned in the film, where the characters went to, is probably Ashmead Secondary Boys school; it's in Whitley where Gervais grew up and it really is a terrible school. Was, should say, I think it closed down ages ago. The worst school in the southern half of the entire Milky Way, never mind worst school in the south of england. There wasn't ever a Stonemead school in Reading far as I know..

The name is a mix of Stoneham and Ashmead Schools - two of the rougher schools in Reading in the late 70s and through the 80s. Stoneham merged with Westwood school to become Prospect School.
