I just found a very old photo behind my fire surround of a school football team with the year 34-35 and the word FRIERN on the football the central boy is holding. Can anyone give me any information on the school? I have seen posts that refer to a Friern girls school but the photo shows all boys and a male teacher. They are in a hall with a parquet flooring, tiles on the walls up to about chest hight, windows divided into smaller panes under which are cast iron column radiators. The front row of boys are sitting on bentwood chairs. There are also many framed pictures of some kind on the wall, even over the window, also possibly a stage or cuboards at the far end.


Thanks.

"Friern School opened in 1896 as a primary school for girls and boys.It was later to become a secondary modern called Friern Girls High School until 1978 when it amalgamated with Honor Oak Grammar School and became known as Waverley School which remained open until 2002. A fire destroyed a lot of the building shortly afterwards"

> wow! can you post the photo?


Here is a copy of the photo.


Looking at my house deeds I belive that one of the boys must be the son of one Benjamin Alfred Howard who moved into my house in 1934.


Thanks for all the info everyone.


All the best.

I know this is long while since the thread started but I have just started researching family history. I wonder whether my uncles are in your photo (which I cannot see so please could you post it). Leonard Smith went there from Heber Road Junior School in 1932 and then David in 1934. I presume my Dad Edgar would have gone around 1936. Unfortunately they have all died so I cannot ask them

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
