Hello there, tbutlin,
Could this be the "castellated tower with bent human arm holding a hammer" which you are referring to?
Magazine achievement 1965 - Copy.JPG

It is part of the achievement (coat of arms) of the City of Birmingham as used by Bordesley Green Boys' Technical School, which, I know, had many changes to its name during its history. Do you think we're talking about the same school?

Here's the complete achievement which I've taken from the cover of the school magazine together with a photograph of the technical school's blazer badge.

I think it must be the same school.

I have been quickly through these threads and am disappointed that there seems not to be a mention of Kings Norton Grammar School for Girls. I was there from 1949 - 1955. KINS
 
Hi KINS

Suggest you try writing what you remember about your school and the time you spent there.
I did this and several people responded with fab info.

I cannot but agree with Ted - Threads on any subject mainly exist because someone with an interest in the School [in this instance] has posted information or requested information.

Hi

Harry Hough is right about The Rosary school having an entrance on Hartopp Road, it was the senior school entrance, the junior entrance was accessed on Bridge Road. The entrance to The Rosary Club was also on Hartopp Road. The senior school closed in 1986 and that original building was sold to Birmingham City Council and reopened as Parkfield J&I school.
