1970's

My memories flooded back when I found this website! I attended Ulverley from 1970-1976. I remember my first day at school, being shuffled to the plasticine table and sitting next to Joanne Bennett, who went on to be my best friend. From the early years I remember Ian Blick (my first boyfriend and his mum was our dinner lady), Anthony Grice, Amanda Alliston, Sarah Hicks and Rachel MacPherson. Later, and into the Junior school I remember Dean Clow, Stephen Skinner, Amanda Knights, Maria Fitzgerald, Joanne Crozier, Sally Hunt, Julian Franks and Sandra Cooper. Do any of these names ring any bells for anyone? I'm living in Africa and would love to hear from anyone from this era.

1960's
My very happy memories of Ulverley were in the 60's.Mrs Barry Headed Infants and Mr. Daniels the Juniors. A penny on friday for the Sunshine Homes. Chocolate concrete with pink custard. Trying and failing to climb the apparatus. Mrs Vickerman and Mr Green, both I loved dearly. Lots of fun. Friends living in the prefabs. Too many pals to mention. Not forgeting the inspiring school song that I remember fondly. The only downside was a male teacher who used the slipper. Thank goodness he didnt last long. Apart from that Ulverley was a great school.

I have great memories of Ulverley School and a  lot of history within my family tradition.  Starts off with that my sister in law and sister attended the the school in the 1950's and her father Harold is 91 years young helped to build the school. My sister in law was Susan Wilcox and her elder sister was Janet.
My history goes to the period between 1962 -1969 when Mr Daniels was headmaster and teachers were Mrs Williams and Mr Green and Mr Johns (my favourite teacher) and my friends were Steve Brough, Chris Freeman and Glen Hughes etc and then I went to Lyndon Secondary School in Sheldon and I still live in Olton.
Recently I have my step son Lee Spencer who is currently attending Ulverley School because his mom and I getting married in July 2007.
I have a great memory of Ulverley School including people like Ross Whittingham Steve Smith, Gary Green and not forgetting Johnny Ruck. I include older children Steve Westwood, David Harrison and Michael Parsons etc.
In fact my nieces attended Ulverley there were Lisa (Edwards) and Anna (Bant) and went onto Lode Heath School.  I would like to see how there are doing and a possible a reunion could be organised.
Presently I work within the civil service and my office which is based locally as an Admistrative Support Officer.

Reading Vanessa's notes reminded me of when I attended Ulverley from 1966 to 1970, the teachers I remember were Mr Kitchen, Mr Green, Mr Waring. After Ulverley I attended Alderbrook, then left for Australia where I now run my own Information Resource Organisation from HQ in Sydney. The only one I remember was Lydia Cheeney (sorry if i spelt it wrong Lydia).
Nigel Pretty

Hi all, I was at Ulverley 69-75 same as Vanessa (Hiya) and lived on Summerfield Road. Actually my parents are still there and I only live by Olton Hollow. I remember the people Vanessa mentions, also Richard Beech, Peter Dixon, Peter Shaw, Kenneth Pearson, Bryn Thomas, Nigel Marley, Sarah Fletcher, Michelle 'Midge'Austin, John Stokes, Dawn Lawson, Paul Taylor. Seem to remember Mrs Barry was head when we started then Mr Kitchen took over? Remember Mr Warings art classes well - lots of papier mache. Also Mr Johnstone was a great shot with the board rubber. Also playing war in the playground - also discovered kiss-chase... Remember a great school trip with Mr Johnstone on a canal boat and a roman villa.
Ian Bowdler

I attended this school to 1967. I to can remember some of the staff; Mr Daniels (Head), Mrs Garnowski, Mr Green (form master, Mr Waring. I can also remember a Mrs Moss who used to help with the school meals - no-one ever left any cabbage when she was on duty. Does any one remember the pink custard with chocolate dessert? I can also remember fellow pupils. Nigel Hobday (perfect smile) Steven Davis (a lad's lad) Christopher Green (always grinning) Paul Summer (ran like the wind, but could never catch me) Christopher Bennett (spikey hair, but good at cricket) Simon ? (always won throwing the cricket ball). I know, it all sounds rather sad, but I have fond memories of growing up there - especially when compared to the following few years at Harold Malley.
Stuart Jackson

I was at this school between 1969 to 1975 and would like to know if anyone remembers me and please, please contact me thru my website as I would love to hear from you. I stayed at 18, Knightsbridge Road, and remember people like Guy Rafferty, Conrad Bowser, Ian Fraser, Laura Pashley, Melanie Majumda, Lesley White, Jane White, Karen Hughes, Denise Wheeler, David Wish, The Dixons who stayed at the top of Knightsbridge Road near Highwood Ave.,and Hayley Scrivenger.  Teachers I remember were Mr Kitchen, who at that time was the Head teacher. Mr Green, Mr Waring, Mrs Scott, Miss Owen, Miss Gibson, Mr Johnstone.
Vanessa Mitchell

I was at Ulverley from about 1964 till 1967, and remember well Mr. Waring, Mrs Garnowski, Mr. Green, Mr Johns, and Mr Daniels the headmaster. I recall Christopher Green, Paul Summer, Graham Bowdler, Keith McCoy, Christopher Bennett, Christopher Jackson to date. I guess more names will come to light, the more i remember 'old school days'. When in Mr. Warings class my desk looked directly out the the huge bird table outside, and I think that was the cause for me becoming interested in wild birds. I see more Golden Eagles and Buzzards and Ospreys now, as I live in Scotland, than the usual chaffinches, sparrows, blackbirds and blue tits which i saw at Ulverley.

Today's browse through the pages of your site, (a bi-monthly visit) brought Ulverley to mind and Jill's letter about Mr Garner stirred memories. I attended Ulverley for some years and was in Mr. Garners class prior to the 11 plus exams. I lived in the prefabs , some sort of wartime housing , which probably have long been torn down, and spent many happy days in the area.

My mother recently sent me an old school photo and Mr Garner is standing directly over my right shoulder. He was a solid guy, round face and thinning blond hair. He once sent me to the stockroom at the rear of the classroom for a whack with a "plimsoll", one of his sterner punishments.
My misdemeanour is long forgotten but I was so scared I stayed very quiet and he forgot about me until class ended. He then discovered me and sent me off without my whack, for which I was most grateful! One other teacher whose name I recall was Miss Jones, She was very
kindly, with her hair in a "bun". Mr. Daniels the headmaster is centre stage in the photo flanked by the head boy and girl. Many names come flooding back as I look at the faces, I wonder where they all are now. My mother says she still sees one of the two Chamberlain twin girls
around town.

Names I remember, Colin Jones, Bobby "Pobble" Hughes. (I think the "pobble" was some sort of character from the Beano or Dandy comics), Penny Woods, Dawn Stacey, Michael Fox, Gillian Anderson, Naomi Woods, Josephine Cadman, Malcolm Jones, Glyn Davies, Naomi Jacobs.
Richard Wilford
1950's

1940's
Reading Richard Wilford's entry reminded me of the time I spent at Ulverley School. I too spent the odd time in Mr Garner's stockroom and suffered the humiliation and pain of the famous "plimsoll". But he was a good teacher and a great human being. He always had time for people. Penny Woods and Josephine Cadman both lived in Kimberley Road where my parents' house was.( Number 22). I must have started at Ulverley around 1948, my older brother Peter was already there.
I was lucky enough to become Head Boy in my last term along with Pat Hart(I think that's how it was spelt) who became head girl. I wonder if Richard's photograph is of us standing with Mr Daniels and Mrs Jones. That year I received the Poole Trophy which was a great honour for an eleven year old boy. I think I still have it! If not I still have photographs my mother took in our back garden of me proudly holding it. Those were the days!
>From Ulverley I went to Solihull School and since then have lived and worked in New Zealand and now Australia where I now reside with my wife, daugher of 25 and identical twin boys of 22. Gee doesn't time fly!
I now live in Australia
