St Chads Schools

I went to St Chads Infants, Juniors and seniors between 52 and 64. I remember Sr Etna Sr Veronica, Mr Conklin Mr Begley, Miss Brennan, Mr Byrne, Mr Walton, Mrs ?? the office lady. In the Juniors at Shadwell St I remember Mr Wells the headmaster, Mr Heneberry, I lived in New John St West and remember going to Alma St School for metalwork and woodwork. would love to see any photographs.
Sr. Ethna Fitzgerald was her full name.
 
Hi John
I knew Jimmy your brother quite well in them days, I also knew Phil Khannon (Cannon) I believe he was Jimmys half brother; I played with Phil for Small Heath Unity in the South Birmingham Combination from 1964 - 1968, both good lads.
Cheers
John Gibbons

Lots of memories about St. Chads School. I remember going from the infants to the junior section of the girls school which was upstairs.
I was 7 and then when I reached 10 the schools became co- educational and went to Shadwell Street school. Then back to the senior school when I was 11. Brearly Street. I left in July 1959. My granny lived in New John Street West and next door to her lived the Ross family.
