• Can anyone remember the name of the R.E teacher, and the name of the French Teacher? The later teacher is in the picture of the German salt mines trip, sat 6th from the back. If I remember (although not sure), she did go on and marry Mr Adams the maths teacher??

• I was at Cumberland’s ’67- 72 (5th) year. There was only 1 Mr Bennett & he taught Rural Studies & English. He left in ’71, to become an headmaster at a junior school in Norfolk, he told us it was just for the birds & wildlife. Don’t forget Mr Roberts the PE teacher. From ’67 the headmaster was a Mr V. T Compton.

• I think that was Mr Swain (geography). Mr Bennett was the English teacher who wanted to retire to Wells-Next-The-Sea as he was into ornithology.

• Just recalling some of the teachers names when I attended Cumberland’s Secondary Modern School on Ladybrook Estate. 1967-1971.
  Miss Fox (English), Mr Adams & Mr Freeman (Maths), Mr George (Art), Mr Shed (English), Mr Sale (Science), Miss Smith (PE), Mrs Parkinson (Homecraft), Mrs Westby (Needlecraft), Mr Swale (Geography). Mr Hardwick (Metalwork), Mr Daniels (Woodwork). Mr Bennett (?).
  Mr Parkinson was headmaster & another Mr Hardwick was deputy. Apologies to those I’ve missed. Can anyone fill in the gaps? 😊
