Pyrford School
A Memory of Pyrford.
My father was a teacher at Pyrford School when Len Cowie was the headmaster. I remember Mrs Jones and Mrs Bugler and Miss Mcdermot and Mr Stevens, who lived by the old school in Engliff Lane. I remember being privileged to sometimes miss class and go swimmimg in the pool when my dad was taking his class for a swimming lesson (he helped build the pool), and once when swimming the Beatles came on the radio with 'I Feel Fine' and I remember all the girls shooting out of the pool and running towards the radio (which was beside the pool), they ran screammg towards it! I also remember Mr Caldicot the caretaker. Days of simplicity, 'You don't have to say you love me', no mobiles and no computers!
Did you know that in 1964 when building the infants' school they buried a metal box under the foundations and put in it the Beatles' record 'She Loves You' and newspapers from that day and other artifacts, and to think that box is still there. I wonder when it will be un-earthed!
Brilliant and very happy memories.
