The PE teacher Miss HICKSON who had taught my grandmother (Margaret CORFIELD) was still there when my Mum, Pauline NAYLOR went. Mum remembers that she could still walk the width of the swimming baths, underwater, on her hands, when she was there!

Girlse still had to wear lisle stockings for gym. Mum and Aunty Peg had to share the PE Kit. Peg went to somewhere in Scotland Rd to be measured for the gym slip. She knelt on the floor and was measured from shoulder to knee. This outfit lasted both girls their entire school career!

Botany teacher was Mrs MORGAN. She had a fantastic sense of humour. 

My aunt, Peggy NAYLOR, taught here before she was married, in the early 1950s, as did Freda BARBER (later McBRIDE).

Built in 1869. My mother attended this school in the 1940s. It still looks fantastic, dominating Everton Valley. Like many other people I still call it Everton Valley.

Mum remembers one set of stairs where, if you angled your ‘indoor shoes’ correctly, you could simply glide down. You weren’t supposed to, of course, and Mum said many people didn’t quite have the knack - sounds painful!
