Hi, Alan Brown here, from Scalby, near Scarborough. I am very late to this thread, by about 14 years! However, I went to Saint Andrew's school from 1956 until 1962. Miss Catlow ran the junior part and Mr. Vallis was indeed overall head. He had a beige Ford Popular car, Miss Simpkin taught the first year of the seniors and I recall played the piano, for the assemblies. I think there was also a Mrs. Kenyon. There was also a teacher of the reception class, whose name won't come back to me.
Miss Simpkin became the first head of Saint Nicholas's school, when Saint Andrew's closed. We knew when it was morning break time as Miss Simpkin had a gas burner on a shelf in the front right hand corner of the room, which she would light and boil some milk for 'proper' coffee, teaching us for a final few minutes, before letting us go for our own break.
I attended Saint Christopher;s from 1962 until 1967. I knew and became a good friend with Miss Richardson, now sadly deceased, as are Mrs. Thornton, Mr. Jolleys and many others of the time. Miss Richardson married Father Franklin, formerly of Saint Peter's Church, Accrington after she had moved to be senior mistress of Ripley Saint Thomas school, Lancaster and Father Franklin had moved to be vicar of Carnforth. I met Mrs. Ormerod, who taught maths and technical drawing at a school speech night about ten years ago. Mrs. Ormerod replaced Mrs. Richards, who taught geography, as senior mistress, when Mrs. Richards died, in post, of leukaemia. Mr. Robins who taught RE after Miss Richardson is still alive and living in Whalley.
I had a good friend at Saint Andrew's the time, David Schofield. From Saint Christopher's, I knew Kevin Hallworth, with whom I have contact
I lived in Dill Hall Lane from birth (1951) and moved to Leeds in 1973. My sister Audrey Jackson continued to live in Accrington, but died 9 years ago. I haven't been back since, though I still firmly feel my roots are there, all the more so, as I get older. All best wishes, Alan
