Dear all
I am trying to find out about the “Wing status” granted to specialist PE Colleges in the early 1960s. I believe that aswell as Borough Road College, one of the predecessors of
Brunel University, the following colleges also had Wing status, so I’m hoping there might be something about it in their archives (or those of their descendant colleges) that might be useful.
St. Luke’s (Exeter),
St. Mary’s (Twickenham),
Cardiff Metropolitan ,
St. Johns (York),
Loughborough,
Carnegie (Leeds),
Chester
St. Paul’s (Cheltenham).

Apparently “The heads of these ten ‘Wing’ colleges formed a committee and met frequently to discuss curriculum and syllabus matters.”
If anyone has any info re “Wing status” specifically re Depts of Physical Education, I would be very grateful if you would get in touch with me off-list.
Thanks very much.
