Where I was here in the 1950s, infant classes were in the building to the left and juniors on the top floor of the larger building in the background, which fronts Berridge Road. The last few classes of Berridge Elementary for Boys were on the ground floor until the last of them left at 14, I think in the mid fifties. By then a lot of secondary-modern schools and two new grammar schools had been built to cater for the post-war bulge.
