Eli the Cat Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Thank you. A friend of mine went there a while ago(!!) and from his description we guessed that must have been the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benson 64 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 i went to this school...have just been informed by my mother that miss foot was a teacher there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonj Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Wasn't Ambleside an infant school from which most went onto Birkdale? An old childhood friend and his younger brother both went to Ambleside and then onto Birkdale, finishing up at Repton. Last I heard of them they were long term unemployed and sharing a council flat on the Manor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanaudrey Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I was at Ambleside 1952-1954 Miss Foot was headteacher and Mrs. Staves was my teacher. The desks spanned the room with an aisle up each side of the wall and we sat on long benches. We wore a maroon uniform. Quite a strict regime. Pupils started at nursery age and went on until 11+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morts Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I was there for a year in 1957 prior to going to Nether Green school. Goodness knows why I went there as my parents certainly didn't have the money for private education such as Birkdale and Repton. Didn't we have to wear blue jackets or something similar?

Eli the Cat Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Yes, Mrs Foot was Headmistress when my friend went in the 1940's. He only went for a couple of years, probably nursery years as eventually transfered to council primary school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike142sl Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Ambleside was also my first school before going to Hallam Juniors. I remember a spiral staircase and a big tree in the back garden that we used to play in - it only recently got cut down as well. The front is now these flats. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=sheffield&hl=en&ll=53.36833,-1.528332&spn=0.000778,0.003195&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=12.501051,35.595703&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=53.36833,-1.528332&panoid=uxtD1CqTgeDQ4cfX16uI0w&cbp=12,111.36,,0,-3.21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
