I was a resident at this school from 1960 to 1964 (about). I have lots of happy memories of this school. The headmistress throughout this time was Miss Jenkins,- I have a photo somewhere which I will dig out and add). She lived in the school if I remember correctly, along with her aged mother, who shared her apartment in the main part of the building on the first floor. I can remember visiting the apartment as part of my Housekeeping badge work for the Cub group which was active at the school. I have a mental picture of a clavicord or spinet - a very early type of piano in her room.
Other staff I remember well were the two nurses already mentioned in this thread - Nurse Bell, who looked after the boys, and Nurse Southall, who looked after the girls. They were both resident I believe - and Nurse Bell was the favourite!
Teachers I remember were (and I may be a bit vague with the names!) Mrs Burfitt, who I remember as a plump, motherly figure - she taught us to darn socks and knit, amongst other things, as well as reading Brer Rabbit stories. She was not resident.
Mrs Hardy (I think) taught the older girls and boys, there was a large fish tank in her classroom which we used to clean out periodically.
When I very first started there, there were classes held in a separate building - The Hollies - within the grounds of Baskerville, with a front entrance from Court Oak Road, and a lovely garden at the back, between the building and Baskerville. The teacher there I think was a Mrs Adams, whose husband owned a Bedford Dormobile, and they used to take groups of us children to the Lickey Hills or Clent Hills occasionally in it.
There was another teacher (female) whose name I can't recall - she lived in and had a room by the boys dormitories (there were two of them) - she had a long haired collie dog, and used to read bedtime stories to us.
I could go on and on with memories - sock fights in the dormitories, midnight wanders round the grounds, the food, fancy dress parties, etc.
If anyone is interested or has more details I am happy to follow this up.
