Miss Maud Byrd, with bike (note carbide lamp) (c 1906). Miss Byrd taught
at Badsey School for many years. She was renowned for hitting pupils with the
side of a ruler and threw chalk. She later married Bill Woodward, but came to
an untimely end, being run over in Bengeworth. Peter Stewart lent us this photograph.
Fanny Bennett photographed
in her garden at 4 Cotswold View (now Willersey Road). When the new school buildings
opened in 1895 the staff consisted of J. H. McDonald (headmaster), Miss M.A.
McDonald, Miss Crisp and Mrs. Mason, assisted by two monitresses, Martha Mustoe
and Fanny Bennett. Fanny had been a pupil at the school and would have been
aged about 16 in 1895. Ivor Martin kindly lent us this photograph.
Attendance return.
Every quarter, Head Teachers had to make returns to the local Education Committee
concerning the number of attendances. This form shows the returns for Badsey
Council School for the quarter ended 30th June 1909. The overall attendance
record was 89%. The form was completed and signed by John Henry McDonald, Head
of the Mixed Department, and Elizabeth Mason, Head of the Infant Department.
The form had to be returned by 14th July 1909. The postmark reveals that it
was sent on 12th July.
We are grateful to Paul Horton of Stourbridge for loaning us this item. Paul’s
interest is in philately, which is how he came to acquire the document, but
as a regular visitor to Badsey (he is the father of Wendy Gwynn of Mill Lane),
he brought it along to show us at the Society’s stand at the 2009 Flower Show.
