I went to the junior school from 1960 to 1964 after attending Lawrence Road infants. Went to The Holt School afterwards. I remember the head teacher at the time was a Mr Bancroft. Mr Williams taught us in what would now be called year 5. Lovely man - I used to run errands to Critchleys shop round the corner for his dinner. Mr Brown taught us in the last year - strict but very kind man. He also taught some of us lads the violin.
How are you.. Just found this vid. I to attended Sefton Park Park school between those exact years,also went to Lawrence Rd to. Mr Bancroft. Mr Taylor . Mr brown. Do you remember Mr Grindley. So many happy memories... We probably know each other ...Can't wait for your reply...
@@terrygribb9185 It’s good to hear from someone who obviously remembers Sefton Park with as much affection as I have for the place. It was very sad at the end of the video to see the stone carved symbol from the outside of the walls facing the playground. I remember being very pissed off when I lost a tennis ball which got stuck in the carvings of the leaves! I think we must have spent most of our time playing marbles in the playground.
Allan.... Recall that you were in my class in the Junior School..... Think that you passed your 11 Plus and went of to Grammar School....Was it in Walton was it Arnot St..... Mr Brown... Grindley...Williams.... You and I were in the half class that we expected to pass the 11 plus ... Alan Ellinson is the name....Recall me ...close friend of Joey Benbow and Ray Taylor ?
@@alanellinson587 Hi Alan. Good to hear from you. Yes I remember you. I went off to the Holt school after Sefton Park and then ended up in Coventry to do teacher training. I remember Joey and Ray Taylor (who was in the same scout group as well). I also remember a lad we called Crofty but can't remember his name. We also had Graham Whittle in our class - good footballer. I have a photo of the football team with Mr Williams which must have been in our last year.
@@allanrowlands Allan... Well what a small world it is..... Guess we were all in the 38th Wavertree Cubs...with Alan Vincent I have a few photos from that period.... Trip to Pennines to see Woodhead Tunnel ...Llangollen too.... Could you write to my email address....awellinson@gmail.com.... I remember many names from Class 4...Mr Brown's class. I am living in Surrey but do get up to Liverpool .... Are you back in Liverpool? Alan
This was my old school. I attended here through the late 50's until 1961. I was one of the first to stay on until I was 16. Sad to see it go it was a good, old fashioned school and some of the teachers were first class. I had some good mates here too. I run a Facebook page now, dedicated to Sefton Park secondary modern. Hope you don't mind if I share this footage to that page, Many thanks for posting this.
Always great to go down memory lane on Liverpool heritage ,, Cheers
I was there from from September 1954 until July 1958 up to passing the scholarship. Pop Brown was our teacher in my final year.

Yes. By all means. I might be able to find the original 8mm
footage but it may take some time.
My Grandfather went there when (I believe) it was called the Sefton Park School. He would have graduated in 1918 or 1919.
my old school from 1955 to 1960
What year was this taken?
The Film was taken about 1989
I see. Would you give permission for this footage to be used in a small documentary?
Permission granted
These shots were taken about 1988. The site is now occupied by an Aldi supermarket.
