Elmwood School

A Memory of Croydon.

I was at Elmwood from 1957 to 1961 and at the Infants before that. I remember Miss Jobbins the head mistress who used to test our 'reading ages' every now and then. I had Miss Hill in the first year, then someone I can't remember except that she was young, then Mrs Jenkins and finally the terrifying Miss Peters. I can remember some of the girls in my class - Olga Ciuciura, Doreen O'Callaghan, Linda Ellis, Linda Castle, Dorothy Hunt, Pamela Pickett, Linda Simmons, Heather White, and probably more if I tried hard enough.
