Deytheur Grammar School
I was a pupil at this school in the early years of World War 2. Most of us were evacuees for reasons of The German Blitz on London and Liverpool. Davy, Hughes and myself were the only ones from London. We were age 7 years and arrived by train after a nine hour journey from Paddington to Four Crosses station nearby. Nearly all the others were from Liverpool. The Headmaster was called Mr Flynn. He was assisted by his WW1 veteran father who wielded an 18 inch heavy wooden ruler to keep order in class. Mrs Flynn, who had a liking for dressing in purple supervised Domestic staff, cooking etc. Canings were liberal and frequent. Bullying was rife (particularly by a Liverpool lad called Ralph Renson). Toilets were earth filled buckets located across the yard in what was once a pigsty when the school had been a farm originally. A field opposite, ess a delight to play in as it had a stream in which we constructed earth dams. Sunday mornings were strictly at Llansantfraid church ( long walk) and then compulsory censored letter to home. This was followed by having to learn a chapter of the New Testament by heart before being released for free time. Considering rationing, food was as good as any cook could have contrived in wartime. It took me a couple of years before,I begged my parents to send me somewhere else. AuntyR (talk) 11:51, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
