Roger Bannister School Quotations

My concentration was really on getting to university and becoming a doctor. My parents let me know that school marks were important. Achievement was something which came by hard work.

I lived on the top of one hill and the school was at the top of another hill. Nobody ever went to school by car - we didn't have any cars during the war. So that to and from school was itself a training.

My athleticism was really the core to social acceptance, because in those days the overwhelming number of students came from more of a public school background than I did.
