St. Anthony’s Church of England and Wharrier Street primary schools, both in Walker, were closed in August 2012. They have been replaced by a new-build school, Central Walker Church of England Primary School.

The last picture used to be Mr Speddings the caretakers house . I went to school there until 1968 then went to Wharrier Street .
I used to go to this school in the 1980s
Lovely to find this. My dad was the head teacher at St Anthony’s at that time - Mr Fisher!
I went to this school from it being new and remember Mr Fisher with great fondness. Probably the best teacher / headmaster I ever had.
Same here, this was when the likes of miss Shields, Mr Tan and miss Potts were there. Went to Allenheads with this school.
I went to this school in the 80s. Loved it. Teachers I can remember are Mr Tann and his target board for maths :) Mr Horricks, Mr Atkinson was the head, Mrs Saints, Mrs Sheilds too. Also went to Alanheads, Carrshields and wallington hall. I remember one of the dinner ladies, Betty who used to work in the local shop on Walker Road. Hornsbys. Happy Memories.
Does anyone know the name of the headmistress in 1952? Her name was Sister Peter and apparently she was the cousin of my great-grandfather but I don't know where to find out her first name so I can do some geneaology research on her. Thanks for any insight!
