What a pleasant surprise to see Valerie Roberts’ photo from June 1953, with many of my classmates, taken on the steps of Mr Lane’s classroom. Have lost my copy long ago. I remember the play included some alpine dancing. My friend Fay Cooke is on the left side on the end, and her brother Ian must be there too, I am third from left. Happy memories of a really happy school, and yes, the teachers very strict. I remember we did many plays, singing at Birmingham Town Hall and performing and dancing in many different places. I had the pleasure of presenting Miss McGowan with a sundial on her retirement, which is still on the outside wall of the school.
