I attended Woodhouse Road J & I School, Quinton; Headmaster, Mr Strudwick.
Station Road Secondary Modern School, Harborne, Headmaster, Mr Stanton. Left about 1952.
New Era College, 191 Corporation Street for Secretarial Studies.

Anyone out there attend any of the above???

Neither of my schools exist any longer.

Birchfield Road Primary in Perry Barr (an earlier poster mentioned the senior boys) which was demolished in the mid 60's and where part of the University of Central England (now Birmingham City University) now stands.
There was a badge but I can't quite remember what it looked like exactly other than it had BRPS in gold (?) letters across it.

My senior school was Marsh Hill Grammar Technical which I think is now a sixth form college.
 
Beeches Road Secondary Modern. (Three Beech trees in yellow and green) Don't think they had a badge at all until about 1950/1 when a Mr Edge came in as a vigorous new Head.
 
Stanmore Secondary Modern
Stanmore Road
Edgbaston
Birmingham 16

1966 - 1975

Stanmore Secondary School opened in 1966, replacing the City Road and Barford Secondary Schools. The school closed in 1975 and most of the pupils transferred to George Dixon School

From September 1977 the building became the Lower School of George Dixon School.

Summerville Road does still exist and still functions as a school.
My mother's family all attended in the 1920's. They lived in Baker Street.
All for now. Trousers

Selly Park Girls' School
Selly Park Infants' School. Was replaced by a new school in Moor Green Lane.

The school buildings are still there, and the whole site is now used for other educational purposes, I believe.

The saplings we planted to commemorate the Coronation are still there at the roadside end of the former playground.
