Fairfield House School

Cameraman15 said:
Hi, I was at Fairfield House 1957-59. Yes Hilary was his Daughter. I will print the names that I can remember, Vernon Clark, Jean Witherington, Marie Saunders and her Sister, Jennifer Carless, Susan Burt, Janice Day, Roy Buffery, Carole Priddy, Carole Ward,
(?)-Kinseller, Alan Yorke, Mr.George for Leatherwork. Pauline (?)
One Saturday afternoon I went to tea at the house of Jennifer Carless in Falmouth Road Hodge Hill with my newly purchased Lonnie Donegan 10" LP and Jennifer lent me Oh Boy by Buddy Holly. Vernon and I were together at school when we heard of the death of
Buddy Holly. We stayed friends until Vernon died some years ago having moved to Spain.
Carole Priddy, Carole Ward, Roy Buffery and I went on a school trip to (?) and on the way back we hired a punt on the Avon at Stratford. I do hope the above may be of interest. Cameraman 15.

Hi, I am Carol Priddey and I knew Carol Ward and Roy Buffery but I did not go to Fairfield house, so I am a bit confused?? I went to Bardmotre College in Yardley Fields Road. Can you throw some more light on this please, I'd like to know your name.
 
I really do not know how this site works. Apparently I have to reply on this open site. Yes, we did go to Blenheim Palace the birthplace of Winston Churchill. I do not remember going on the river but it was a long time ago! I remember your name but cannot put a face to it - I'm sorry. I must have left Bardmore in 57 . I went to Cockshitt Hill. We had a house fire and lots everything so I had to leave private school. It was a pretty rotten school anyway so I am not surprised that it closed.. I have just remembered Roy's friend I think it was Peter Goddard. I kept in touch with Carol Ward for a while. She got married at 17 and I was her bridesmaid.. I only saw her once after that, I realised that she was not my type of person. I was very 'innocent' in those days. I remember an auburn haired young boy whose first name was Terry. Apart from the Hornes' I only remember Miss Burnett who came one each week to teach dancing. What did you do for a living when you left school? Are you still In Birmingham? I now live in Tenbury Wells
Glad we have sorted out the Fairfield House thing. Best wishes, Carol
 
After buying a book secondhand, flicking to the front and reading “Fairfield House school, Yardley” it’s been lovely reading through this thread and learning about the place as I’d never heard of it up until now. There’s a faint name on the front written in pencil, I believe it says “Jarrett Geir” but I could be wrong.
thank you for some interesting reading!
