Ethel Wainright school opened in the early 1950s, not 1960s

Miss Shriver was Miss Shrive, she married whilst I was there and became Mrs Revill. I was in the next year above the photo, but remember a lot of the faces and some of the names. I am still in regular contact with my best friend from the time… John Hill.

Ethel Wainwright school was opened in the early 1950’s. I remember being in the photograph of the football team with Gerald Clarke holding the football marked 1954 – 55. I would have been 8 then.

Back row – Left to Right ?, Susan Rossiter, Gillian Grey, Lesley Brown, ? 2nd Row from bottom – left to right- ?,Gillian ?, Shirley or Shiela Shepard,?, Julie White, Carmen Denton, Susan Mussan, ?, Ann Squire.

I am second row, fourth from the right Carmen Denton, Fifth is my best friend Julie White. I loved our headmaster Mr Woolley, a kind man. Though I do remember having to stand on a black square in the hallway for being naughty. He read us a Christmas carol every year as we all sat cross-legged and enthralled in the main assembly hall. I also watched the moon landings here…..

Another good & kind teacher at “ Ethel Wainwright “ was Mr. Frank Stephenson. I always enjoyed his morning assemblies. Those hymns have remained with me from those early years. Later on attending “ The Old Meeting House “ ( Unitarian Chapel ) off Stockwellgate behind the old Bus Station, I found he was Treasurer to this place of Worship where he made me most welcome. In the beautiful interior of “ The Old Meeting House “ there is a lovely plaque in memory of Frank Stephenson.

Ethel Wainwright was a new school in the 1960’s, only 4 classrooms. Think Year 1 was was taught by Miss Shriver, Year 2 Mrs Owen, Year 3 Miss Ellis and Year 4 Mr ???
