The Proud Anthem of Bishop Auckland Girls' Grammar
I found this information in the Northern Echo archives:
ONLY one song has so far appeared twice on memory's play-list, the proud anthem of Bishop Auckland Girls' Grammar School echoed down the years by both Jean Gibbon (nee Simpson) in Durham and Margery Burton in Shildon.
On a hill above a river
Where the oaks of Auckland grew,
Where the men of Durham County,
Men whom Bede admired and knew,
From the forest built the farmlands,
From the farmlands built a town,
Auckland stands; the memory lives
To seeing minds, creative hands.
Auckland stands, the torch still burns
We guard the flame and pass it on.
