Hertford Infant & Nursery School

We have heard from some old pupils and would be interested in anything that would contribute to our knowledge of the history of the school. If you have interesting old photos or stories please contact us. Special thanks to Gary Murphy for starting us off with his memories and photos from 1954. And now we have memories from Maurice Spratt too. EXTRA PHOTOS from Maurice added July 2007

Memories from Robert Leal (now updated with photos of Robert's talk to the children).

Memories from Doreen Blake, mother of 3 ex Hertford pupils.

We love to see your old photos - below is a link to one we received in the post recently from Andrew Knock who came to the school in the 70's.

Michelle Keats (nee Lloyd) one of our ex-teaching assistants was also an ex Hertford pupil - click the link to see her class photo of 1965

"I went to Hereford first School from 1977-1981(approximately).
My first year teacher was Mrs. Tozer. If I remember correctly she seemed quite close to retirement when I was there.

Hope this helps, great site by the way."
