The name of the teacher was Mrs Gornall. She used to teach all the girls Sewing.\u201d However we were&nbsp;advised by Barbara McBurney: \u201dMrs Gornall taught&nbsp; sewing at Loftus County Modern School and later Rosecroft, I attended Harry Dack Infant School from Christmas 1955, Mrs Gornall was not teaching there then.\u201d Kathleen further advised us: \u201dMy brother David, in this picture, was born in 1947. Therefore he would be 5 in 1952 and 7 in 1954, so he would have been in Infant school from 1952 to 1954, moving into Harry Dack after it opened in 1954. This picture must have been taken during this period. I agree Mrs Gornall taught Sewing at Loftus County Modern School during my time at the school.\u201d Ann Jackson has also told us: \u201dI remember both Mr and Mrs Gornall. They both taught at Loftus School but were based at Carlin How as was Mrs Wheatman who taught cookery for the first 2 years I was there then they all transferred to the new school. Mrs Gornall as Barbara says taught sewing and Mr&nbsp; Gornall&nbsp; taught woodwork.\u201d Eric Johnson can also remember Mr Gornall teaching woodwork at Carlin How.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Image courtesy of David Morris and thanks to Kathleen Margaret Oyediran (nee Morris),&nbsp;Eric Johnson, Barbara McBurney and Ann Jackson for the updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>This photograph was taken in a classroom in Harry Dack Infant School in the mid fifties. &nbsp;The school was opened in 1954, so everything would still&nbsp;be fresh and new for these children.&nbsp; David Morris is the boy in the dark jacket, sitting at the front desk.&nbsp; We asked \u201dWho are the other children and [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-loftus-infant-schools","odd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.image-archive.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.image-archive.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.image-archive.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.image-archive.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.image-archive.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=66229"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.image-archive.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75253,"href":"http:\/\/www.image-archive.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66229\/revisions\/75253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.image-archive.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=66229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.image-archive.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=66229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.image-archive.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=66229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
