Coombe Hill is a nice ordinary Primary school in the rather afluent area of Coombe, up the hill from where I live in New Malden. Coombe had both an Infant (four through seven years of age) and a Juniors (seven through eleven).
From the first year of the infants school, taught by Mrs. Ingham, I remember struggling with a difficult maths problem involving candles and lots of rubbing out. In the second year we were taught by Miss Brotherstone (now head of an infants school in Kingston) and I struggled with woodwork. My third year I remember more clearly. We were taught by Mrs. Pinkett and I remember having problems with her when I noted that I could do better than her stick-figures.
That year the class (class 1, I believe we were- the classes were numbered in reverse order of age, so as not to give the older children a sense of superiority) had a goldfish, which we called Sparkly. I took up sewing and did a nice representation of said Goldfish which I think I still have somewhere.
The people I knew in Infants school.
Remarkably, the above picture of the Junior school is just as it was when I left eight years ago. The grassy area just on the far right of the picture was where used to have my packed lunch in the Summer. In the Winter we'd eat inside, at tables chosen by house.
