Branfil School And Upminster
A Memory of Upminster.
Hi all.
I used to live in Beech Avenue from 1962-1979 and went to Branfil Infants/Junior School from 1965-1970. Really loved it there.
I remember Mrs Tribe, Mrs Warren, Mr Ford (Tall Headmaster) Mr Hill (the slipper and ruler). Mrs Cassedy (she ran me over in the school playground in her Rover Coupe!) Mr Sumner (great man)
Went on a school cruise in 1978 or 9 to Madeira/Vigo/ Lisbon. Threw up every day. I was even sea sick on the coach home.
The worst decision I ever made was going to Royal Liberty Grammar when I passed the 11 plus.
Should have gone to Coopers Coburn with all my friends. Hey ho too late now!
Some names I remember from my year group and one above:
Karen Margeson, Neil Pusey, Graham Salter, Hazel Daniel’s, Carol Jolly, Jimmy Perkins, Neil Sheffield, Diane Larkby, Graham Tingey, Neil Trevor, Gary Dance, Beverley Budd, Ann Roserman, Sharon Bayes, Liz Winter, Jacey Graham, Christine Payne, Susan and Mary Wilkins to name but a few.
Happy Days.
