I went to Wyndcliffe School from 1965 to 1972 as I lived in Little Green Lane. The head teacher in Infants was Mrs King and Mr Collis in Juniors.
We had a wonderful teacher in Juniors called Mr Fairbrother. We even went to his house for tea sometimes. He lived in Kings Norton and we thought it was very posh!

What years were you at Wyncliffe? I can’t recall those other teachers you mention. Were you at the old or the new school?

Thank you for that Rob. While I was in my last year there, a new school was being built further up Little Green Lane.
I believe the tower on the original school had been damaged in the War. With it being in the vicinity of the BSA that would make sense.
When I was there the remaining part of the tower was used to store fancy dress clothes etc. It always fascinated me! I loved that school!

Lynn.

I was at infant Wyndcliffe School in 1970 and moved to Junior Wyndcliffe School which was a new school on Little green Lane in 1972/3 and left in 1977. I remember Mrs King at my Infant school. And my class teacher mrs Anthony and mrs Anderson. In my Junior school I remember Mrs Smith , Mr Lowmax (not sure about the spelling) Mr fairbrother. Mr Collins or Collis the headmaster. Mrs Burns was Scottish athletic type she married Mr Denvor who had two twin sons they also went to the same school. I remember some students names but lost touch. There was a girl called Katrina only child lived on Wyndcliffe rd, There was a family mother French and dad English they were the Caraven family twin girls Christina and i think Catherine. Mr Tyrell or Tirrel was a School researcher and was doing his research project he took many photos of children doing various activities and did his literature on the children. He was based at our school for many months.
