Kingsthorne Primary school was known as Cranbourne Road infants and Junior school when I was there, I was dumped there by my mother and my younger sister who was in a push chair at the time, I say dumped because I was not very happy about going to school, my mother took me into Miss Lutley’s class and they showed me all the good things that were going and then Mom said “I have to check on your little sister who is outside being looked after by another lady, I will be back soon”. well that was it I was left there until lunch time when we went home early for the first week, once Mom had left I forgot all about where I was and was quite happy so I have been told.
