Miss Wilkes was headmistress and Miss Parsons HM at the Infants school. Both were nationally decorated for their dedicated work. (In late 50s there were NO immigrant kids, but by '66 they had welcomed the new influx and 90 percent were West Indian or Asian).
Mr.Jones would dedicate all his break time teaching the kids football skills. Don't know much about today's teachers, but they were really dedicated in those days. I bet they'd sigh if they'd known how I was going to turn out!
There were a lot of West Indian and Indian children in my year, about 40% I reckon. They were all decent kids. Mr. Davies was the football "coach", well he picked the team. He was okay, though he did drop me for one game! Just remembered another name: Mr Halford. The sod gave me the ruler across my hands for running in the corridor. Harsh but I didn't do it again!
