I was at Hartfield Crescent 58 till 62, My first teacher was Miss Cave. There was also Mr King who taught english. Mr Grundy I think did Maths and liked to use the cane for misbehaviour. Still have class photos from then. Loved doing the sports days as well. I also was in Baskerville whose colour was Blue. Arden was Yellow, Willoughby Red and Grenville Green.
I also attended this school from about February 1965 to Easter 1968. I recall Mr Grindy as being the art teacher. Two maths teachers Mr Collier and Mr McEwan. Both had the propensity to caning for any minor misdemeanor. In my experience (4 Birmingham schools) all maths teachers lived by the cane or slipper.
I think the fourth school house was Grevis,my house.
I aso recall Mr Grant,Mr Clements,both English teachers and Mr Allan,music. These three were quite young and were very popular as they had a really laid back attitude.
The girls PE teacher,Mrs Hill, usually referred to as Miss Mountain..
Science was Mr Cockerell and Mr Moss and technical drawing was Mr Chew.
Can't recall the metalwork teacher but woodwork was Mr Quiney.
I would appreciate it if someone could remind me of the typing and short hand teacher. She was my last teacher and I cannot recall her name.
Would like to say happy days but they were not. There is an expression that schooldays are the happiest days of your life. They maybe;but not that part of the day actually spent AT school.
