wallyp 10 #651 Posted April 17, 2020 in 1940 George Mack became headmaster & new houses were formed in cluding Spartan house which I was in. He also changed the school cap a navy one with a badge to a cap of two halves, one green & the other navy. I still have my moth eaten one which we had to wear into school & going home afterwards. I wonder how many of us are left from the 1947 intake? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The infants building is still there. Jim, the buildings that are still there on the old Sutherland Road side was part of the junior school (my last classroom there was one of them) as was the Lyons Street side. The infant's classrooms were in the middle As for the 'houses' at Burngreave, the reason that there was no 'Saints' house was because All Saint's pupils did not go to Burngreave until 1948/49-they carried on there until 14 years of age, the school leaving age then, By 1948 Burngreave had been open 17 years and the houses had already been established. Told to me by a former pupil of All Saints who was in the first draft to go there in the late 40s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
