Primary School

I remember the school very well, Mr Pritchard was the headmaster, indeed Mr Pritchard witnessed my birth at home in Castleford. It was my first ever school before moving to Green Lane Primary. I remember playing on the grass with my best friend Michael Nicholls, we both went through primary at Ninelands, Green Lane, then Garforth Comprehensive. I now live in Australia and have for over 30 years, but I have great memories of Garforth.
