Wendyp who was your head mistress at Nansen road school?.
I know this was a while ago you posted this but my mum went to Nansen road in the early 50'sJust found this site. Has anyone got any photos or memories of Nansen Road girls School from the 50's. Would love to see/hear them.
I found an old school report of my mum's recently and that was the head that was named on her report too.Thank you Vivienne 14. Why it wasn't in the list of schools . I don't know ! Had a very happy time there. The Head mistress was Miss Evans Rose a bit like the queen mother in appearance and Miss Linforth was a great teacher.
Thanks for happy memories. I left Nansen Road school in 1952 at age 15. Miss Linforth was my mentor. Took me under her wing when my mom died in 1949. Wonderful school thenThank you Vivienne 14.

Hi my sister Janet Hibbard went there, in the mid 50s. Do you remember her?I know I have asked before, but no one answered. Did anyone go to Nansen Road Girls School, Alum Rock in late 50's. Would love to hear from you.
Just found this site myself. I went to the junior school. I was in a class run by a Miss Bunker. Then I think it was Miss Hammond, she really helped me along with my reading, which I have loved ever since. Then came Mr. Moor, I wasn't in his class long as 4 other girls and myself were put up into Mr Sheen's class. I didn't like him at all. He frightened me. If you got answers wrong for a second day you had a ruler over your Nuckles, not like today at all.Just found this site.

Went up the stairs to the senior school when I was 11. First class Miss Mason who was lovely. Then came Mr Anderson I think it was.we had Miss Booth who we all also loved. Then Miss Piggot who was our pre fifth teacher .. we had Miss Preston who was firm but good. We could have left by now but wanted to stay for 5th form. We also had Miss Thomas who taught us typing and shorthand . Miss Linforth was Head Mistress.Just found this site myself. I went to the junior school. I was in a class run by a Miss Bunker.

Trying to remember head teachers name, but it will probably pop up in a couple of hours.
Hi. I was in the junior school until '63. Miss Bunker took us for country dancing and 'encouraged' us, with the odd thump in the back, to keep in step as we went past her. Mr Sheen was a bit scary too, but my favourite teacher was Miss Wilde. I was in her class for the two years before I left to go to secondary school. I seem to remember that some of the teachers were Welsh and taught us how to pronounce a few place names from there properly.Just found this site myself. I went to the junior school.

I went to Marsh Hill Boy's together with one other boy from my class. Others I knew went to Saltley Grammar and Mosely Art School. Some of my closest friends went to Washwood Heath Secondary, and I managed to keep in touch with them through our secondary school years.I do seem to remember the name Miss Wilde but I can't put any facts to the name.
Mr Sheen was definitely Welsh. We went into his class in about the January. He had had the rest of the class for nearly 2 years. I found that difficult.
Which secondry school did you go on to?
My friends to split up and went to various schools. Unfortunately we didn't keep in touch, but I did have one friend who also went to Washwood Heath Secondry School.I went to Marsh Hill Boy's together with one other boy from my class.

I remember a trip to the zoo, and that I was almost sick with excitement as I walked to school. We had a long walk to and from school as we were then living by the Gate Saltley, having moved there from near the school. I used to go home for lunch so the walks kept us fit. Mind you, I often used to walk home to the Gate from Marsh Hill which was a good few miles away. When the smogs came down I used to walk faster than the few buses that were still running.My friends to split up and went to various schools.

She seemed to like it well enough.
Of course we used to walk to school then, not many cars about to do things like the school run..Wherever you went it was Shankses pony.
I do remember the school trip that was a special one, where we could pay weekly. We had a brilliant time.
