1955 – Mr Palk Added by Stella Crook Headteacher – remember him and Miss Surtees. She was very strict and he was the only one who ever gave my mum a caning for bunking off school with her brother – John Pledger and my mum Joan Pledger. Same as above
1982 – Pure Evil (well Myers anyhow…) Added by Mark Binmore Miss Myers – similarities to Ms. Trenchbull in the film “Matilda” Evil and vile – why did no one complain – it so would not happen now – she slapped my “silly little legs” once until my mum intervened – pure vile teacher who should never have been allowed in a classroom and I am unanimous in this. She also liked pulling down boys’ pants and smacking their bare bums!! More suited to Belsen than Oldway one feels.
