I was at langford School during the forties. Mr Garrard was one of my teachers, a great man and a gentleman. Miss Patterson, another teacher, who I recall was a tyrant, although my sisters tell me different. I still have a couple of reports from 1948 and 1949. The Head was Miss G.M.Hobbs.  

Below is one of my school reports.  Noted a little bit of hand writing on the back which I thought would be worth mentioning. It is from the Class Mistress and it says;

"Mrs Warren, am pleased with John's work".

Quite nice but do you notice it's sent to my Mum and not to Mum & Dad....funny old days, not that the Old Fella was that interested in a 10 year old at that time. But when I got to 15 he was all over me like a rash, expecting me to do well and get a profession not a job. He was no fool and nor was I. I did as he wanted/suggested!
