[Portland Junior School - Glaisdale Drive]

I joined Portland from Crane Junior after we moved house and had a happy experience over all.

I also remember not being told the exam we were doing was the 11+. A thing I have resented ever since.

I thought the best thing was the after school dances.

I remember Henshaw because he used to have a strap in his desk draw. He was a nice guy though. I believe he had some connection with a dairy farm. If you could get him talking about farming the lesson was over and you could relax.

It's only years later I began to realise what poor teachers we had.

If I remember rightly when I was at WS, Horton taught Maths, Haley, English, Kerr and Singleton, P.E. Osbourne metal and woodwork. Bateman was Head and Miss Geeson was Deputy..
