I would like to know more about Victoria Avenue Primary School in the 1950s, but I can’t find any record of it. Can anybody help, please? I was a pupil there till 1961. A picture would be great. I believe it was formerly a residential home. Thank you

Hi Andy. I was a pupil at Victoria Avenue Primary School from 1953 to 1959 when I went to Southchurch Hall. I remember a few of the teachers - Mr Jones, Mr Lee, Miss Lawler and the head Mr Rice and then Mr Swann. I can remember the school layout with the field at the back of the school and the dining hall at the end of the covered path from the school building. In recent years a group of ex students have met on occasions - one of the girls now lives in Oklahoma! There used to be a fairly large listing on Friends Reunited but this site has now closed. I have a few photos of the school and some class photos - let me know if you’re interested and I’ll try and dig them out.

Hi Nick, very pleased to receive your reply, thank you. I studied there 1955-61, just completing my final year as the school possibly closed down. I well remember the building of the new Civic Centre on one of the playing fields during my final year, when Mr Goddard was the Head. I remember all the teachers whom you mention, as well as the Heads, and especially Mrs Glazier who delighted in telling her Class that actually she was only age 7, her birthday being on 28 February! And Mr French the caretaker. It seems a real mystery that I can’t find any reference online to the School in either the Education Department or Southend Timeline websites... It would be really interesting to trace the building back to its pre-school days. Anyway, I would be very pleased to view any photos which you have, and I might be able to find my old class photos too. Do you need my Email address? Best wishes, Andy Parham

Hello I was at Victoria Avenue School from 1950 to 1956. I found a couple of photos on Flickr which I tried to forward but I cannot see how. One is of the teachers including Mr Jones and Mrs Lowry. I still have a class photo including Colin and Carol Patience, Linda Greenfield, Janet Kelsey, Peter Puncher, John Lewis, David Thomas, Pat Bone, Gillian Zetlain, Michael Suttie, Philip Muslin and Evelyn Laughton. I too would be very interested to hear anything in respect of the school.

Hello everyone,
I’m searching for my sister Jacqueline Pearl Barnes, born September 1947, lived in Whitegate Road, and possibly attended the primary school in Victoria Avenue. Does anybody remember Jackie ? Thank you all.

I attended Victoria Avenue School 1956 to 1959. My teachers were Miss Lawler, Mrs Wilkins and Mrs Lowry. Some of the children were Brian Clark, Jillian Johnson , Roy Travell and Clive Brooks. Later on I attended Shoeburyness High School. I am now retired and live in Mitcham, Surrey.

Hi everyone

I replied to Andy Parham at the beginning of this stream back in 2020 and I have just noticed there have been quite a few posts since then.
I have some photos of the original school and some later reunions with "old Vic Avers" but I can't find a way to attach to this string. If anyone wants to see them please e-mail me on ponte65 at outlook dot com and I'll get them to you.
Cheers
Nick Bridge (1953 -1959)

Hi All,

I attended Victoria Avenue from 1953 to 1959. I'm the girl who Nick mentioned who now lives in Oklahoma. We sat next to each other in Mr. Jones's class. I found many of my classmates through Friends Reunited, and I enjoy meeting up with them on my trips home. It's a shame the site closed down. I seem to recall the building was a police station before it was turned into a primary school. We inherited it complete with the brown linoleum. - Wendy

Hi All

Like Andy Parham I have been trying to find information on Victoria Avenue Primary School without success. I attended the school from 1955 until 1961 when it closed. My teachers were Mrs Wilkins, Mrs Lawlor, Mrs Cartwright, Mrs Glazier, Mrs Kolbeck and Mrs Lowry. Apologies for any misspelling of names. In addition I can remember nearly all names of my fellow pupils. I have a couple of photos but not of good quality but willing to share.

Regards
Julie

Please be polite and respectful.
