right been to the archives today and found out
gertude walters was born on 8th december 1890
attended notre dame secondry school southwark 1904-1909 then liverpool mount pleasant training college 1909-1911
she started her probation period at heathfield house 15th april 1912 and a year later her permanent position there
exams taken:junior oxford 1905,senior oxford 1907(honours),london metriculation(or it looked like that)1908,preliminary cert 1909(distinctions in english and maths) and final cert(distinctions in maths and theory of music and singing)
over the years she taught maths,english,geography,history and needleworkand singing to all classes
she left on 19th december 1924 the reason gave that she was leaving the teaching profession she was reappointed temporarily between march and july 1925 then reappointed in sept 1926(part time) and in oct 1926(fulltime) there is no date as to when this ended but there was a reference to her in the record as late as 1935
found it all very interesting and strangely proud of this lady as i read all this although she not part of my family but feel that during all this i have got to know her and hope we as a group can bring what we set out to do to a good conclusion just need to go forward now for that to happen which could be harder but we are more determined
