Im after info about Bordesley Green Primary School, formely known as Bordesley Green Council School when first opened. It is located on the corner of Marchmont Road and Bordesley Green. Any info about this school would be great.

Bordesley Green School, 1922. All the children are looking directly and intently at the photographer. They've obviously been told to sit up straight and several have their hands behind their backs. Others seem to have chosen to ignore this!! Viv.

An interesting addition to the thread, Vivienne, thank you. But the date seems to carry the year 1914, a year in which November 21st was a Saturday! Bordesley Green Grammar Technical School was opened in September 1937 as Bordesley Green Junior Technical School.
I can only assume that your interesting photograph refers to Bordesley Green Junior and Infants' School.
David.

Edit. This and the previous post moved to this thread.

Such great photographs. Bordesley Green primary is going to be celebrating 125 years in 2027. Do you have any other photographs of school life at Bordesley Green? Do you know who the headteachers were?

Hi. These are such fantastic photographs. Bordesley Green Primary will be 125 years old in 2027. Do you have any other photographs of school life at Bordesley Green. Do you know who the headteacher was at that time?
