Thank-you for your message Michael. I can remember some of my class friends but have forgotten some. Many went on to Bishop Milner, a couple went to Sir Gilbert Claughton's School but I was the only boy in my year to head off to Rowley Regis Grammar School.

I remember Kieron. I was that teacher. I think he also came on youth hostelling trip to Edale with me. As well as being a past pupil of the school 1950-1956 I taught year 6 from 1969 until 1972. I have many happy memories of the school. The staff at the time that I taught there were Sr Lucy, Mrs Maloney, (deputy) Miss Donnelly, Mr Vincentin the Junior department. In the infants department, which was in temporary classrooms across the street were Mrs Sutcliffe, Mrs Bradley and one other.

Re: Sue Feeney's comments [23rd Jan 2019] I attended after her spell at St. Joseph's. My memory is not as good but I do remember the strict discipline of Miss Hanton. Unfortunately, I was a bit naughty at school and was often in Sister Lucy's office with my mother getting an ear-bending! Dudley used to have lots of snow in those days and the slides we created in the sloping playground were like glass. We also created a runaway snowball at the top of the green in the middle of the bus shelters. By the time it got to the bottom it was massive and caused havoc with the shoppers waiting for the bus. I cannot remember the name of the teacher in the last class - he travelled the USA in the summer of 1969 and he used to show us his fascinating slides of the trip. Probably undernourished, we were all very thin back then so the chocolate sponge and pink custard was our salvation! But, oh dear, the warm milk through a straw - the horror!

Such happy memories of my time at St. Joseph's in the 1950's when I was 4 until 1962. I've got one of those weird memories that seems to retain everything & can name most of the 42 pupils in my class, all our teachers etc and I loved my school very much. When I moved to London I kept in touch with Sister Lucy and went to visit her - she was a good friend & a lovely person, I still have a pic of her taken with her sisters in Irelend who all became nuns. Miss Round was our amazing & very talented music teacher and I loved singing, My first teacher was Miss Whitwell, there was also Miss Cronin, Miss Hanton,Miss Dillon, all very strict, George the caretaker with his bucket & brush. The school was then located next to Our Lady & St. Thomas's church & almost opposite my birthplace at 5, Tannery Buildings, Trindle Road. Would love to hear from anyone who wants to know any more or who remembers those special times, my maiden name was Hickens & my Nans family were Hensman.

I've visited the school to pick up an application form for the nursery. The receptionist was very polite and helpful. Having someone so pleasant at the first point of contact really encourages you to want to send your children to that school.

Hello all - What a fab website! I had a fantastic time looking at all of the old classrooms I used to teach in and looking at all of the 'old' staff I used to work with! St Joseph's looks like it is still the exciting, friendly and caring school it always was. Love Julie.

Website is looking fantastic. Great idea to put the newsletters on as they don't always get to parents from the children. Nathaniel is my 3rd child to attend St. Josephs and I've always felt it's such a wonderful school.
