Hi can anyone help please.

My Granddad John Goddard was born 1921 and am told that he lived in Blews street, Birmingham.
Any ideas what possible schools he may have gone to and would there still be records of this?

Thank you
Dean
 
Hi Dean,your granddad would almost certainly gone to Elkington St school,having lived in Blews street.
There used to be a picture on the forum, showing a classroom full of pupils from around the period you are talking about,But it seems to have gone missing when the forum was hacked.Maybe someone has saved it and could re post it for you. Moss
 
Hi Dean & agree with Mossg that Elkington Infant/Junior would be most probable School
as Blews Street was placed just off Newtown Row & led to Pritchett Street (Elkington catchment)

Senior School at 11 year old may have been Summer Lane School a short walk up Brearley Street,
