Hi Viv, it was Mr Slinn who drove the green sports car, triumph spitfire, and married an ex sixth former Barbara Beattie, I have a photo of him and the car someone posted on the friends reunited site some years ago. The Russian teacher was Mr Fischer, I remember him as a lovely gentle man...

Hi Sandra, I started MHGS in September 1967 and definitely remember you although you were the year below me, I remember your ginger hair and think you went on to join an athletics club in Birmingham? The Harriers? I think Fatima Whitbread trained there? Mr Smith was our maths teacher from...

I remember Mr Slinn, I believe he married an ex pupil, he was very tall yet drove a British racing green triump spitfire. He used to bring me goats milk from their own goats to school as I was ill for a while an lived in the Erdington children's homes, where I was somewhat neglected.

I don't remember this but oddly I was in the Erdington Cottage Homes, then called The Gardens from July 1969-July 1973 after the death of my mother. I had started at Marsh Hill Girls in September 1967 so maybe I was part of the reason for this event?

Hi , I attended 67-74 by then you could do French (compulsory) German, Russian, Latin, I think Spanish and conversational Italian at an after school club, a classmate, Teresa Devlin took them all... , in maths we had Mr Smith for years 1-4 but sadly he left as we went into year 5 and O levels...

I got married whilst still at school in the sixth form and 3 days after leaving went into the Emergency Ambulance Control on 999 lines for 10 years, had my first child after 5 years then went part time.

No problem, I have posted his details, I'll let you know if anyone responds

I can definitely ask on his behalf and if course he could join the group himself, but let's see if anyone knows him X

Ah ok, sorry the site is for ex children only, but if you give me his name and details siblings etc i can ask if anyone on there remembers him and they can contact you on FB or messenger ? There are several people from that era ☺️

Yes when I left in 1974 it was combined with the boys school and Stockland Green to become comprehensive school then became Josiah Mason 6th Form College in 1983, catering for international students who sometimes boarded at the college as well as with surrounding families for a fee. But it...

Yes this is the old entrance from Marsh Hill.

So sorry you felt like that, I loved the school and enjoyed the teachers in the main. As for Mrs Cockbain I can only speak as I find, she stood up to my bully of a stepfather, threatened him with the police and when I went into a children's home allowed and encouraged staff to support me in ways...
