I remember the teachers there, I was there 1966-71; I can vaguely remember Deepdale Road. omg over 50 years ago!
I have awful memories of this school as did my brothers; I attended from 1968-73.
Murphy was headmaster who was a sadist who had us punished for not attending church on Sundays.
Girls got their legs slapped by Mrs O’Neil and boys sent to Murphy for stick or ruler.
Luckily we moved out of the catchment area and moved to a C. of E. school.
I never saw my friend again, Margaret So ills again.
