Cattell Road School

Yes I know my mother went there.i remember hearing something about cattell Road school or a school in cattell Road
 
You seem to have started a new thread.
This one called Cattell Road and the other Cattell Road School.

Do you have a rough date as I have looked in a couple of directories and phone books and drawn a blank.

Didn't realise..no dates
 
I can't find a Cattel Road School. As Tinpot kindly pointed out, perhaps it was Tilton Road School. If so here's a link to that school thread:

Viv - I couldn't find one either. On maps, in directories or the phone book.
The only thing I wondered was if there was an annex there?
(Thanks for merging threads).

I know Tilton Road my mother went there
 
There's a Wyndcliffe Primary School in Cattell Road (not listed on the British History site). There's an entrance on Little Green Lane too. It's looks a modern build, but perhaps there was a school there before this one, and with a different name ?
 
There's this BHF link to Little Green Lane School which may help.

It opened in 2015 as a new provision - so think we can rule that out.
 
I was thinking possibly Little Green Lane School (as per link in #15) Janice, not the later Wyndcliffe School (I assume LGLSchool was on the same site until at least the 1960s, so the predecessor to Wyndcliffe perhaps?) Presumably LGLS was replaced by Wyndcliffe and a new building ?
