Paget Rd School Pype Hayes

hi Paul was your older sister Eileen is this is correct then I remember her and she was in the same skittle ball team as me in Paget Road Infant/Juniors the year we were the champs unbeaten taught by the lovely Miss Woodbine. I remember all the teachers you mentioned and as you say hard but lovely memories of school life even the frozen milk in the bottles the water fountains in the playground the harmless fun we use to have. I too was born in Saltley and moved to Springthorpe Road where we lived from 1959/60 until 1976 family name Hitchins and still looking.

Hi, Mozey,
Yes, my sister is Eileen. She now lives in Bracken Road. You can find her on Friends reunited, which is now free. I’m sure she’d love to hear from you.
 
I went to Moor End Lane, But my Mum and Dad went to Paget Road in the 50,s At Moor End I had a PE Teacher Called Mrs Edwards, My Mum recognised her from Paget Road, when she was a kid, Wonder if she was married to Paget Roads Mr Edwards? She was pretty tough

Bloody Hell! I remember the dwarf! I lived on Kingsbury Rd and attended Paget Senior till 1969... Holly Lane was a constant mud bath because they were filling in the quarry.. 5 years on a bike with no rear mudguard (as was the style) resulted in a near permanent mud stripe up the back of my blazer....
 
Hi I attended Paget from about 51 to 62 that was Infants/Junior and Senior, I class it as an ok time in my life, I also remember a Raymond Taylor from Westmead Crescent, Janet Cope, Arthur Dingley, Thomas Skinner and Raymond Samsom from Paget Rd.
After looking at the staff photo 1958 I recognize Mr Southal but sorry to say not anybody else.

Did anyone attend Paget Road Secondary School. Pype Hayes, Birmingham.I started there in 1946/47 and my sister started there 7 years before. My eldest sister was 21 years older and she also attended the same school but I am not aware of what date or how old she would have been
 
Hello Lynda.
Yes Mrs Edwards Teacher at Paget road School was married to Mr.Edwards in boys school. Mrs Edwards was one of my teachers apart from other lessons she used to take us for needlework. I was at Paget Road School in from about 1949 after attending Paget Road Infants School. My name then was Paamela Green, I lived in Woodlands Farm Road, Erdington. I used to walk all the way to school and never thought anything of it. It was great when the 66J bus started to run as at least I got a treat during the Winter. Best wishes, Pam
 
Always tough opposition at football were Paget, as were Gunter Road. I used to play against them, usually at Grange Road late 50s. Can't remember any of the players names for Paget, but the goalie for Gunter was a little guy (Ossie Osborne) and he played for Erdington Schools.
 
I used to play for Paget in the Netball team. We were a great team but, looking back I don't think I thought anything of it then I just enjoyed the game. Great time. Also enjoyed art with Miss Waters (or Walters) she was a realy nice teacher. I also remember a Miss Ward,rumour had it that she used to have her shoes made for her as she had such huge bunions.She was rather a large lady and combined with her aching feet had a hard time taking us for P.E when our usual P.E teacher a Miss Eason was unavailable. I used to find the teachers and their personalities and habits far more intersting and entertaining than the actual lessons.
 
I lived at 61 paget rd and was in the school until leaving dec 1959. The big lad you mentioned is John Duffy(he became my bodyguard)
i remember parker, roberts and edwards and of cause drayton the head.

hi pudding boy i left in 1959 dec also my name is david griffin mr marsh was my last teacher
 
Hi Pamela, I also played in the Netball team along with Kay Tuckey and Sandra Witts. I was also in the swimming team and went on to swim for Erdington and Birmingham. Miss Warne now there was a woman to be scared of but she was a great coach in swimming and sports but swimming mainly. Did you ever go to her house? it was either in Slade rd or just off it. And Miss Garvey the headmistress, how many bloody trees did she have on that wallpaper in her office. Paget Rd school days were the best days of my life, if only I'd left school with the knowledge I have now my life would have been so different!
 
Having read through the Pype Hayes-related posts here, I wonder if anyone knew my cousin, Tommy Pallet. I haven't seen him for years and often wonder how he's getting on.
