Burleigh School

Mr Clark's class

Burleigh School was the first pre-fabricated school to be built.

This class was the first class that went to Burleigh School. We were previously at the British School. We went to the British School in the morning, at lunch time we went to Burleigh school - we were the only class there with our teacher, Miss Bryant. ther was a thunderstorm in the afternoon. There were huge floor to ceiling windows in the school and we were frightened and we were comforted in the cloakroom where there were smaller windows by the painters and Miss Bryant. She was a lovely lady.

I, too, remember Miss Bryant as being a lovely lady. Burleigh School was my first school and I must have started school in 1949, in Miss Drew's class. We joined Miss Bryant two years later. In the top left hand corner of the picture above, you can see the bungalow where Mr Clark lived. The houses, to the right, must be those in Prospect Road and the classroom, in the top right hand corner, was that of Miss Childs who taught my sister Joyce, who also transferred from The British School. I was in Miss Childs class from 1954-55.

I was at Burleigh from 1959 to 1965, first under Miss Day, then Mr Oldacre. My classes were taught by Mrs Garment, Miss Drew, Mrs Mckeown, Miss Gerty (I think that's the spelling), Mr Cuthbert, Mrs Hickman and Miss Child. I also remember Miss Bryant and Miss Tyler, though they never taught me.
