Dudley Stevens described Lacey Green School in a questionnaire at a school reunion organised by Lacey Green History Group

Started school 1945, left 1951 aged 15. Lived at 'Edgerley', Loosley Hill. Now at Dumari, Loosley Hill. Walked to school or caught Famers bus. The headmistress was Mrs Guerney. Other teachers Miss Jarvis and Miss Janes. 20 or so in class. Face orange after teacher smacked me round the face. Had school meals & enjoyed them. Had milk a break. Played with hoops and marbles. My mother Mrs C Stevens went to this school. Made a scarf on the school loom.

Additional Information. Our next-door neighbour had a tame jackdaw and the bird would sometimes follow us to school. It seemed to know that I did'nt like it, so it would swoop down onto my head and peck at the button on my cap. If a window was open at school or at church the bird would come in. Reverend Stewart would shout "get that confounded bird out" - as it would sit on a beam or ledge and squark.

School meals. These were collected from a central kitchen by Mr Hayward of Walers Ash Garage (now Esso). Later, food wascooked on school premises by Mrs Leftwich and Mrs Lacey.
