I really enjoyed the school but it was a long time ago i left in 1961

Good school now will miss it very much as I have just left

Best memories ever! 1997 onwards! Miss all The teachers and my class mates!

Started at this school the year it became two, boys and separate girls 1956 I think it was. Loved it had great fun. You never had to go in the playground as it was so easy to hide and dodge the teacher most of whom were OK.

I went to Lyndon school in the sixties good school had a great time, love to get in touch with friends had Mrs Allen the last year.

Interesting couple of photos from 1973 era, now on 'Lyndon High School For Girls' site.

I was at the school 1957-62, Miss Wright was the Head and Miss Collins the Deputy! Good school, enjoyed my time there and am still in touch with several friends all over the world

Was there from 1963 to 1966, hated it, was bullied, hit by teachers,only one good one I remember was mr Davis I think history. Best day was when I left

Mr basset was a brutal sadistic evil person who now would be locked up.

Worst 3 years of my life. Leaving this place was the best thing I've ever done

Wank

Teachers are pagans, please burn in flames

Protect bullies absolutely disgusting do not send your child here unless you want them to be verbally and physically attacked

My grandchildren go here and the younger one is the subject of bullying by not only pupils but their parents as well what dose the school do nothing nothing at all what a total disgrace I would not send my kids here if it was the last school in the midlands

Maybe we got the rough end of a bad deal. Because between 1973 and 1978, I experienced the tail end of a terrible regime at this school. There were some pleasant teachers, like Mr. Cotton and Mr. Chaddeton and Mr. Russel and Mr. Garner and the sweet English teacher, Mrs Grice. But the sadists were dishing out the slipper and the cane like there was no tomorrow and as for the woodwork classes, we lived in terror of Mr. Basset who threw a chisel or a hammer at anybody who as much as whispered a word. The fights outside the school with the police on a regular basis, were doubtless never witnessed by many other schools; we were the first, I believe to have had close circuit cameras installed on our playgrounds, atop the barbed wire that surrounded the boys entrance gate. Police woman were beaten and battered by the thugs in our school and I even witnessed Sam Carter (headmaster) threatened at knife point in the dinner queue. The central line that divided the playing field between boys school and girls school could not be crossed under threat of cane. The outdoor swimming pool which was unused because of pollution, was used as a deterrent and what went on around the back of the sports hall was never discussed. The school children went on strike when the miners did, in the middle of our exams and woe betide any school that stood against us at the end of the term, when the thugs marched on Load Heath and other Solihull schools to show them who was boss and if you didn't join in, you got beaten up, as did anyone else who didn't support Birmingham City. Attending Birmingham's matches on a Saturday, was a sure fire way of keeping in with the ruffians, but the violence that occurred in the Spion Kop stand and the Tilton Road end of the stadium, was reenacted on our playgrounds on Monday morning whether you liked it or not. People brought pets to school, I remember one family kept bringing their pet squirrel on a chain to class. Sadly, the newspapers covered the dismissal of one teacher who forever changed the future of one girl in a stock room cupboard, all made public knowledge. I never jumped higher, than the day I left that place, unfortunately, into a factory where the rougher elements were waiting. Thank God for Solihull College of Technology, where the idiots didn't want to go and better themselves and it was populated by a peaceful and normal class of people.
