Meynell Road School - 1958 - 64

Recommended Posts

Did anyone go to Meynell Road School during this period.

 

I was there in the Infants and then the Juniors. There used to be a senior school too but believe it closed in 64 when all the pupils moved to other schools (I believe the majority moved to Chaucer which had become a Comprehensive),

 

Do any Forummers have any memories of the school - pupils/teachers?

Don't know any of the posted names. But they may have all been in the senior school.

 

I left the juniors in 1964 to go to Chaucer Comprehensive.

Oh The shame and to think I was captain of Griffin and I couldn't remember them. You would remember them starting to make the playing field that finished up having 3 levels I think. I certainly remember the yearly rounders match between the junior school and the seniors
