Or has our education system really always just been a patriarchy? Ms Drabble at brightside (mentioned earlier in thread) was good from memory - also ms cooper who was head of the lower school at king teds was hard but fair.

He introduced O levels to secondary modern schools in Sheffield having previously been second master at City Grammar on Leopold St.. I am in regular correspondence with Alan Goodfellow's daughter, Diana, who lives in Germany where she has spent her life teaching English. Her brother Rod is a regular reader of the forum. Their mother taught at Sharrow Lane Junior and the family lived just off Wolstenholme Road . I will pass your remarks on to Diana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also remember Mr Greatorex but not sure why? Perhaps because it was rare to see a male teacher in a primary school. Mrs Scrimshaw was a scary dinner lady. Had a crush on Miss Starling who left to get married!( Yes that did happen back in the day!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a crush on Miss Starling who left to get married!( Yes that did happen back in the day!) Mr. Lacey was a teacher at Wisewood and did Miss Starling become Mrs Mc? Mr. Lacey had been a navigator in the RAF I recall. Every so often he used to climb a ladder to retrieve balls from on top of the boys toilet Mrs. Mellor gave us dance lessons These may have been teachers at the junior school.
