I have searched in vain on friends reunited for people who went to Burgoyne rd school in the 1950s but unfortunately there appears to be no trace of such school. My wife (nee Jose Loy )was taught there and left in 1959. does anyone have any info or names of pupils from that era please.

Put your wifes name and details on friends reunited I did the same for the school I attended. It's suprising how people come out of the woodwork.

Arrodbo,

people may not recognize it as 'Burgoyne Road' school. It's officially St Mary's (C of E) and, also officially, its address is Cundy St.

I don't know what the pupils and their families called it in the '50s ?!

Hi
I always knew it as Burgoyne Rd School.I went there from1948-1954.I remember Jose and Myrna Loy.I think they also went to the Sunday School just above the school.I bet your wife remembers "Pop " Morris one of the very eccentric teachers in the senior school.

Hi Arrodbo

My aunty June Anson (nee Young) went to that school probably about the same time. Used to live on Cross Bedford Street and then moved to the club at the top of Blake street.

I went to burgoyne rd school from 1960-1966, does anyone remember Mrs Lowry the headmistress from the infant school? and who could forget Mr Cohen the napoleonic headmaster from the junior/senior school. that bloke put the fear of god up me more times than I care to remember!
