I started there in the Infants in 1950 .

My teachers were Mrs Edsforth , Miss Gardner ( head teacher ) but I can't remember who my first teacher was . It may have been Miss Mitchell . I recall a farewell do for her .

There was no junior section then , so you had to move to another school when you were about 7 .

Mrs Edsforth taught me in the juniors at St. Anne's. Thankfully I managed to avoid Mr. Pedersen, except for football.
