poppypopstar those are harsh words it was a good school to go to still is .both my son and now his daughter gos to it did you

Mr Pops is right most teachers at that school were masochists.

I agree with bushbaby3 those were harsh words. I remember my time at Prince Edward as being happy.

It all depends on what era you attended the school mine was 1947 til 58, still got the bruises.

I was at PE infants and juniors until 1961

I remember Mr Vernon Cross Headmaster ..he smoked a pipe and he used to pick up the little girls !! I remember the smell of his pipe tobacco.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Mr Bellamy He used to walk down the rows of desks and whack the boys on the back of the head if they weren't paying attention !

I also remember Mrs Gilson and Miss Stephenson as well as Mrs Webster.

My sister and brother [ also on this forum ] went to PE too and later on my son was there.

 

Some names I remember are Terry Dell Elaine Kay Jean Tilney Alan Kitchen Michael Oldale Mick Szymanski Peter Briggs Susan Foulstone Susan Jackson.

 

I am sure more will come back to me

Hi Lucylac,

Yes I have twin sisters, nice that someone remember those days. Weren't that bad.

Hi Val

 

I remember you well as I am a friend of Pam's. We have known each other for approx. 40 years. I haven't seen Barbara for a long time though.

 

The last time I saw you was at your house when your parents were still alive or it could have been at Pam & Barbara's 60th Birthday bash.
