St Marys C of E junior school Acocks Green Birmingham

Hello, I am looking for people who went to the above school located in Broad Road and affiliated to St Mary's Church on Warwick Road. The school closed down in 1978. I was a pupil there from 1966-1970. Would love to hear from former pupils.
 
I believe that my dad and his brother went there that would have been in 1920's. Some twenty years later I would go past Broad Road and walk down to the infant school in Westley Road in the village even though I was Christened at St.Mary's. Not sure if it is true but I seem to think that Gil Merrick B'ham City and England soccer goal keeper went to Broad Rd school.
 
Thanks for your post. I went there because we had moved to Acocks Green and it was winter with snow on the ground so my mom thought St Mary's would be more convenient. My dad was a Birmingham City supporter but sorry to say I've never heard of Gil Merrick.
