Steve, when were you at Underlea?

I only have good memories of Underlea. Some of the teachers, plus the headmaster weren't very nice. Mr McMenamin loved to administer the cane.  Considering all the kids there had serious health issues, he still gave the cane if you misbehaved, such as collecting conkers from the front of the house that was out of bounds for some reason. Underlea was set in acres of rolling park land with gardens and vegetable patches. For kids who grew up in the city and without a garden, this was sheer bliss.

Hello

My mum (then Brenda Evans) was at this school in the 50s. Just curious if anyone attending at this time remembers her - we were talking about it the other day.

Would be good to hear from you -

Hi Steve, I attended Underlea School from 1965 to 1972, I have nothing negative to report about Underlea. I started in class 5 with Mr Corcoran, class 4 with Mr Roberts, Class 3 with Mr Hill, class 2 with Miss Williams and finally, Mr Jarvis, our headmaster was Mr Ashcroft, everyone was great. I used to enjoy woodwork as my favourite subject. The only downfall I remember was missing classes due to having Speech therapy, I have happy memories in Underlea.
