Little Mr Thomas was Headmaster and he gave me plenty of stick.

ONE OF THE TEACHERS EITHER mr WHITE OR brown had two different canes

and used to let you chose which one you wanted to be whacked with.

We had Mr Bluff as Woodwork teacher, he was good.

I lived on Queen Mary Rd opposite a garage site , Just below Wulfric Rd, i think it was 104 Q.M.Rd

with 2 sisters Dorreen & Jean who both attended P.E school though they are older sisters.

The names Wendy Ball & G.Needham ring a bell but i am not sure if i've read

them in the forum.

Why do the people on forum ,Not give their names/maiden names. I have only just joined the forum and i suppose there must be a reason for not doing so.

Nice to hear from you,Thanks for replying

regards John

Agree Pops .

I was there until 1958 some of those teachers made Hannabal Lecter look like a non starter.

My Dad, Michael, went to Prince Edward School in this time. We have a school report saying he was 1st out of 39 in the class in 1953 (Class S III) with top marks in Arithmetic, History and Geography. The report is signed by Class Teacher A H White and Head Teacher L C Hancock. My Dad was born on Windy House Lane, Manor.
