Nechells Park Secondary Modern School Charles Arthur St School

Mr Collie was before my time, Mr Loyd was the wood work and technical drawing teacher, and he was a swine, I was never affraid of Mr Troop, I found him a kind and gentleman.

I started off at Cromwell St nursery and went through to the infants and Jrs before going to Charles Arthur St Seniors. I remember Mrs Painter but I am very fuzzy about any other teachers. The head at Charles Arthur had a nick name of "Spud"? We use to play British Bull Dog, French Skipping, Spin the Bottle at break times. We had warm or frozen milk, depending on the weather and who remember the round mint choclate, mint bingo.
I played in the Skittles Team along with Christine Evans who was our Captain.
Would know of any photos of Charles authur st school? Trying to get one for my father.
 
These are the only ones I think I have of the school in question

Thank you very much. Although I now live in Scotland I do miss Brum very much. My mother had a cafe in Erdington high st for many years & when the opportunity arises I visit. Once again thanks very much.

I voluntarily attended this school from late '66 - 1970. I say 'voluntarily' because I walked out of St Joseph's down the road and begged Mr Troop to add my brother and self, to the new term school role. Bless his soul, he was flabberghasted by a 'Catholic' kid wanting to join his school.

As much as I can recollect, I pretty well remember all of the teachers throughout my own stint at the school and I'll list them, if anyone wants to know. Sadly, I'm rather more shakey when it comes to my fellow classmates. But then, I didn't set out to be the most popular kid on the block... A few do stand out, none the less.

Thank you so very much for these photos. In the 2nd picture,are a row of 5 houses, next to the school caretakers house. I was born in the house next door to the care taker, 107 Charles Arthur Street. You have made me very happy, even if I cried when I saw the picture. Our family name is Earp. Is there anyone out there who remebers us?
I went to St Clement’s school with Ronnie Earp, whose family lived in a terrace off Nechells Park Road (by Andy’s Coaches). Are you related?
