Air Raid Shelters
A Memory of Braintree.
There were air raid shelters in the playground immediately in front of the school and there may have some across the road,but I cannot recall them at this time distance.
My teachers were, Miss Poole, Mrs Murphy and Miss Burgess. I recall learning times table by rote and multiple fractions at the same time with Miss Burgess, a good teacher of arithmatic. In the 66 years since learning how to do multiple fractions however, I have never once had to attempt them in 'real life'!

I remember stern Miss Burgess and Mrs Murphy. Miss Macintosh and Miss Jarvis the headmistress.
Those were the days.
