I went to Mansell Infants in 1962, (Miss Ashwell) Juniors in 1965, (Mr Douglas) then in my first year in the "big" school Wednesday lost the FA Cup Final, England won the World Cup. My teachers were A1 Mrs Dixon, A2, Mrs Strickland nee Vynall then two years with Mr Gregory who used to spend an abnormal period of time locked in the stationary room with Mrs Dronfield. We walked to school and back from Grenoside, remembering the sleet driving into my face, the fights all the way home, nearly getting run over....great days. Not like the spoiled little fat kids today who get ferried to and from school in Toyota Landcruisers.

I remember Charlie Williams visting Yewlands. I think he was a friend of one of the teachers. Do you remember when the teachers organised a "This Is Your Life" for the headteacher (Hugh Bland). Not sure what the occassion was but I remember to this day that his favourite song (at that time) was the theme from Van Der Valk.
