Definitely Mrs Maiden in charge of Class 2 when I was at Peel Park. Talk about Mr Gleave being a good shot with a piece of chalk she threw the board duster and never missed. It was not a fluffy piece of material either but the sort with a wooden handle. Glad I wasn't in her class!!! Mr Gleave used his pump on boys for punishment but the girls,me included,
were given the flat of his hand on our backsides. He would grab us round the neck, bend us over saying 'Face the East and bow to Allah'....then the hand or slipper would be brought down with force with the words 'The Almighty, the all forgiving.' Still I thought he was a wonderful teacher and he certainly gave me a good grounding in English grammar especially spelling.I once had to write 'Immediately' and 'Necessary' out 500 times and it worked as I have never forgotten how to spell them.
