Memories of Carfield Teachers

[Mad Pierre]

Any memories of teachers at Carfield? Who can you name? Tell us some stories, who was the best? Who did you fear? When were you there? Where are they now?

Mr. Chandler Head

Miss.Tindall (father was a Sheffield Councillor)

Mrs.Holmes taught English (in a very old-fashioned way).

Mr.Vasey

Mrs..Lydiard was our form teacher and she also taught Art. She was a very thorough,fair and considerate teacher.

Miss. Rubery

Mr.Ackroyd (had his children in the school, Ruth was in our form).

They were well respected among the staff, parents and pupils as teachers generally were in our time (1955-59).

Mr. Chandler (Pop) was very considerate with the pupils and, he recognised pupils who had the ability to learn easily just as he had the observational skills to know the ones who needed additional assistance.

In my opinion it was generally a good school for the basis of learning.
