Went there between 1953-56, prior to going to the Tech. As far as I recall, teachers there included Bourne( Head), Jenkins (Deputy), Court, Morgan, Davies,Hooper,Mclean, Jones,Houghton. I seem to remember that Mr Morgan collapsed and died during a staff v boys soccer match. I have a photo somewhere of Eric Hooper's class of 53. Proud to say that I could name 40 out of the 42! All good guys to a man!
I went to this school back in the 60 had a great time there loved school any one remember any of the teachers there.
I started there in 1949, William (Billy) Bourne was Headmaster, a large portly man. Some of the other teachers names I remember were, Hooper, Griffiths, Stone, Houghton, Gibbs. Mr Gibbs took us for gardening & we had to walk up the Malvern Rd to gardens in Pitmaston Park. I left Chrissies in 1951 having passed to go to the Worcester Technical High School.
