Anyone go there? I was one of the foundation pupils as we did not pass 11+ first time round we got another go. If you did perhaps you remember Miss Cherry who was the Domestic Science Teacher - she came to NZ and I kept in touch with her till she died last year, she married George Ready and lived in Kaikohe, Helen was in the same Rest Home my Mum was in, I was with her till her last few days but she did not know me.
Miss Rolfe was the Head, Miss May the deputy and taught English, Mrs Adams was the school secretary. For some years till the school filled up we were the only pupils in this almost empty building. Went back in 1991 and was in touch with them when Miss Cherry died only to find now that it is all changed. In my autograph book I have names of pupils and staff from those days names like Ann Whiston (we looked like sisters and used to fool the teachers) Leslie Whitehouse, Susan Woodhall, Linda Sharpe I wonder where they are.
Mr Hardwicke was the science teacher along with Miss Kirby and Mrs Moore (my Dad thought she was a bit of alright!!!), Miss Eite was the Art Teacher, Mrs Crosbie maths, Mrs Challacombe (more like Mrs Slocombe from "are you being served"!!) was the DSc teacher also Miss Peach - poor little mouse we drove her to a nervous breakdown used to teach Religious Studies (never went as was an RC) Miss Barker was the PE teacher, Miss Durham taught French, Miss Lowndes taught History - through Helen Cherry/Ready I kept in touch with her till Helen had her strokes and got dementia then I lost touch. Mrs Maxwell also taught History, Miss Green Geography etc. anyone got any more recollections.
