Stainsby Secondary School in Middlesbrough (notice the correct spelling) is now known as Acklam Grange School and Chris if you see this a new build is on its way!
Chris is an old boy of St.Mary's College Boys Grammar School and this is still in existence but now,sadly, as a Sixth Form College!
Many of Chris's songs are about his early life in his hometown:will he return to his old haunts? Who knows?

A quarter of century later, thsi song remains fabulous !!! Which is the trademark of GREAT songwriters !

Cool, thanks. Can't be many songs about that school, I bet!

It refers to Stainsby Girls School (now called Akram or something like that) in his home town of Middlesborough . I believe his wife went to the school which is why he dedicated this song to her.
