On 18th Sep 2015 4:53pm, Johnny said: I went to St Osburgs from 1952 to 1958 Lots of 'big' boys and girls in the playground No secondary schools then 50 to a class, split by half years, playground packed Great teachers, some a bit fierce Can't complain as I was a bit of a ruffian

I was there (for a very short period) in 1959. Don't recall the (first year) class being particularly large? Can't remember the teacher's name? I do remember identical twin boys in the same class who used to argue like cat and dog. The playground was split level with infants on one level and juniors on the other. Never ate there as I lived just down the road in Bond Street so it wasn't far to walk home. Decided later that was a mistake and preferred to eat with the other kids when I went to St Mary's.

I went there from 1963 to 1969 The head was Mr Branny and Mrs Branny was school secretary. Mr Daly was there too. Mr Branny retired around 1965/6 and Mr Koegan became head, a different kettle of fish, not as nice.
