OMG, my very first primary school. I have not seen it since 1957. I lived in Oakleigh Road, a few yards away from the social club. All those houses were sadly knocked down in the late 60s and replaced with flats.

Jennifer, I went to the school from 1925 until I went to Holly park Secondary in 1958. Then to Friern Barnet County when it was built. You are correct in as much as the main St Paul's building only had 3 class rooms but there were also two class rooms in the infant building. Only having 3 class rooms we had to stay in one class room for more than a year.
