Yes, I remember the school and Mis Featherstone. I was there from mid 60's to early 70's. Mr Babington was the science teacher, Mrs Brearley was the sewing teacher, Mrs Hall for home economics/cookery. I think Mrs Young took the place of Miss Featherstone, or she was her deputy. I don't recall a Mrs Day.

Hi I was a teacher at Longmeadow School in the 1970s. My name was Miss Moriarty and the Mrs De Burgo. I taught Science. Does anyone remember the name of the Head Mistress at this time ?

Miss Moriarty, you were one of my favourite teachers. I loved science. I attended longmeadow 1972-76. Mrs Young was deputy and I think the head teacher was Mrs Bonham. Mrs Daniels was another dragon of a teacher along with Mrs Young who told me I was an insolent child for asking about black history in UK. I had to go stand on a black square in the hall which told everyone you were on punishment. Mrs Woodhouse was home economics teacher and she wore bright red lipstick. My sister Melita also attended. I remember the chip van outside school on a Friday 2pence a portion. I was in class with Cathy Woolverston, Jane tongue, Cynthia Morrison, Alex hodge, Sandra ? surname, she use to live in the children's home just up from school. Rosmond Jobson whom I saw recently. We were all living locally. I've never been back since leaving, apart from a few people the teachers were racist and didn't like black pupils and we knew it. It was sad though to see it gone and replaced by houses.

I think the head was Mrs Bonham. I was a student teacher at Longmeadow in about 1973.
I taught some great girls while I was there for just a few weeks.

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone remembers a girl called Lorraine Skerrett at Longmeadow school. She was born in 1948 in Dublin Ireland but spent a good few years living in Shard End with her aunt Olive Mitchell and went to school there.
