I lived on Willow Drive and went to Athelstan and Brook. I remember Mssrs Footit and Aizlewood. Went outward bound with them one memorable week in Derbyshire. Mr Footit still teaches at Handsworth Grange. I left school in 78 and moved to London soon after. Am glad to b back up here tho - no comparison! There's lots of people on Friends Reunited.

He was known to many as Poppa Smurf, not hard to see why because of his big beard and being small in height, if you got on the wrong side of him you knew about it.

Hi wattsey

I used to work there a long time ago and still remember the children who went there. Didn't know Miss Meridith was still going strong. she must be in her 80's.
