Did Anyone Attend Cecil Rd School

I went to Cecil Rd School from 1952 to 1957.  It was a bit of a dump with a very poor track record for kids passing the 11 plus.  Nevertheless  my overall memories were of a pleasant few years, except for one or two hiccups.

I went there but in the 1970s, they had their centenary year in 1973.  Nice little school we played around it a lot as kids with living nearby.

Thank you for forwarding the old thread.  St Barnabus, Cecil Rd was indeed the church school, and was made of red brick.  I knew that it had been demolished.  Its a shame in as much as I would have liked to revisit and remember the various rooms.  Understandable though.  I would have gone to the reunion, had I known about it, but I was in the Far East at that time serving in the Navy.
