Westminster Infant/Junior School

Hi all,

I'm looking for old photos of Westminster Infant and Junior school in Handsworth, Westminster road. The older the photos, the better! :)

Thanks
 
Hi Samina am of no help with the photo's but my late sister in law Janet Farrell taught there. Good luck. Jean.
 
I went to this school in the early to mid 90s with very fond memories of teachers and staff. Would love to know if anyone has a list of teachers and whether year photos are available.

Chan, welcome to the Forum, a really great place.
I went to Westminster Rd from 50 to 54. If that is meaningful to you let me know.

We (Slade Road School) went to North Wales for a week in 1967 I think, with a couple of other junior schools, one of which was Westminster Road School. We had some great fun mixing together and the trip was featured in the centre spread of the Sunday Mercury. As I recall, there was a swimming pool, a tuck shop and we slept 8 to a hut. I heard, it was a Italian Prisoner of War Camp during WW2. Geography clearly wasn't our strong point at Slade Road and we really thought that Westminster School was in London, funny how our accents were so strikingly similar...:cool:

My, how things changed. I went to Westminster Rd school in the early 50’s, the only thing we had was a Christmas party and celebrated Harvest Festival. I understand why and am very happy for that!
