St.Francis School Peckham

I also attend St Francis school, we lived at number 6 Friary rd next to the sweet shop my memory of the sweet shop was a very old man called Mr Bodley

Mum work at the end of the road in the Bakers.
And my grandmother lived in Northfield house on Peckham Park rd
We used to have to cross the road to the playground which is now flats.
They closed the old school removed the iorn stair at the back and built a new one next door.
We used to walk through from the school to the church.
The headmaster Mr Goddard used tho read a story over the tanoy on a friday afternoon.
The weird thing is I'm now Mrs Goddard( no relation)

I also went to St Francis from 1953 to 1956. Some other names that I remember are John Brennan, Mickey Carrol, Paul Uden and Pauline Cochrane. I am Sean Byrne and my brother Tom and sister Rita also went to St Francis. I remember the very stern teacher Mrs. McNamara. I heard she retired to Ireland and lived well into her nineties. I also remember a Mr. Finnegan(?) and a Mrs. Bishop. Mr. Goddard was indeed the headmaster and I think the headmistress of the infant school was Mrs. Middleton. I used to walk to school from Riddell Street which was off Southampton way near the old Samuel Jones factory. I certainly recall Miss Manzi, or was it Manzies? I think her first name was Helen. I had quite the little boy crush on her. I wonder how life turned out for her.

I have scoured the internet to try and find images of the old school but no luck. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks!!
