I attended Denis Road Secondary Modern when we moved lock, stock and barrel to Sparkhill Commercial early 60's I spent the last couple of years there before leaving school at 15 In 1964. The quirky thing was the playground on the roof.

There was a boys’ roof and another for the girls. I remember that the boys did Science while the girls had Domestic Science. Wish I’d have spoken up and asked if I could do Science but girls would never have dreamed of that in those days.
