I was at AGS from 1945 to 1949. Mr. Courchee, head. Jim Forest maths, Mr Tucker, geography, Miss Mc Cracken, English language, Miss Yardley taught art. Mr. O’Neill, science. Cannot recall who taught history, Latin or English literature. Hopefully someone will remember other names. Ray Hall.
I was at QE Atherstone 1968 to 1975. Ken Parker, known as “the Bard” was head. Still there then were Mr Tucker, Miss Yardley and the feared Miss McCracken known as “Crackers” who was deputy head.
I also recall a Mr Rossindale (Chemistry), Mr Cowlin, (Physics), Mr Champion, (PE and Geography),Mr Parfitt, (Biology), Mr Fenby (Chemistry) Mr Payne ( French) Miss Daniels (Maths), Mr Kendal (Maths) Mr Baker (Maths) Mr Willions, (History) Mr Feehan ( Latin) Miss Rollason, – I think and a new deputy head MAC Carter, (Geography) joined a couple of years before I left which was the final year before it was merged into a comprehensive with the High School obliging an unsatisfactory two site arrangement which persisted for an unbelievable 40 years until a new purpose built school was built which already is too small for the town.
