IT WAS with great interest that I read about East Oxford School.

I went there in 1952 from New Marston County Primary School, where Mr Jim Cox was the head.

I never knew that he went there from East Oxford.

Mr Jenkins was a fiery Welshman.

In 1954 I went on to Cheney School with Graham Yates and George Ross. We are still in touch and meet up once a year and share a couple of bottles of red wine.

Mr Martin was a very good headmaster. In later years, as a police officer, he could quieten children at school.

Mr Gordon was the woodwork teacher and I still recall various tips he gave us.

Miss Hughes was a large lady who did not tolerate any bad behaviour. Oh happy days!
