Children in the Playground at Bream C. of E. School
Playtime at Bream Church of England Junior School.
Bob Smith added: "... I was at Bream School a year later, having moved over from the Infants on the other side of the road. The end wall of the school on the right was a bit of a 'right of passage'. More skilful ( and usually older ) lads than me would clamber up a corner with their toes on the sloping stone ledge that stuck out a few inches. By grasping the tiny crevices in the course of stone work with their fingers they'd endeavour to make their way across the ledge to the other corner . Despite trying many times and right up until I left in 1972, I never managed it ! :( ".
Roger Mountjoy added (September 2020): "... I beleive that the Morris Minor belonged to the Headmaster Mr. Penkathman who went to Bells Grammar School with my father. I left Bream Junior School in the summer of 1961 and went to senior school in Cinderford after moving there from Bream".
Robert (Bobby) Jones added (February 2024): "... I left Bream Junior School in 1965. I see Mrs Marfell in the background walking down the playground. Happy memories of the School. Little pictures on each clothes peg as you entered the School. Massive games of British Bulldog and Piggyback fights, on the lower section of the Playground. In the background of the picture on the right hand wall we used to play, what I can only describe as a long line of interlinked leapfrog. We'd take running jump and see how far you could vault over the line of boys".
