thankyou very much for the pictures but i do not recognise them i was there in 1950 to 1955 i had a teacher called miss Toes and miss Pitt has anyone any pictures of these classes

[campa chick 10]

Was there from 1954-61. Was in Miss Toes class at some stage. Also Mrs Farmer, Mr Sysk, possibly Miss Pitt and cant remember any more.

I was there late 50's early 60's. Certainly remember Miss Toes, I was in her class and she made it her mission to change me from writing with my left hand to writing with my right, she never succeded and my handwriting is still a mess.

Was also in Mr Sysk's class as well as Miss Carding-Wells, Headteacher was Mr Bradley who was a big music lover who I believe was one of the main reasons why I also have such a love of music

I remember once, 1962 I think it was, all classes had to attend a special Music performance. A Lady Soprano had come to Hucklow road school to sing for us kids, we were told this was a special honour. I was sat at the back of the hall, swopping my Mars Attack cards with my mates when she set off singing. Well, I got a fit of the giggles, she was singing "Cherry Ripe" in full Soprano. Her high pitched voice just triggered something in me that set me off laughing and giggling, but at the same time I was trying to stiffle it. The music teacher was trying to keep up with her on the piano inbetween glowering at us boys, who were trying desparately not to laugh but to no avail. Once i started to laugh i could not stop, tears were running down my face, then all my mates started to laugh as well, before long it went Global, all the classes set off laughing. The poor woman carried on as best she could but in the end stopped and glared at us like we were completely mad, her face was purple with rage. Needless to say I got done for it, but oh boy, what Happy days.

Hi Firparnian, I went from 57 to 62, same dates? Definately the same teachers. Wasn't Mr Howe a bit keen on Miss Carding-Wells? I thought Miss Martin was the headteacher of the infants. Wasn't Mr Bradley the headteacher of the juniors?
