We have developed an annotated list of masters and mistresses that shared our lives during the many decades of the school's existence. Additional images from the school photographs will be added during coming months. Our sincere thanks to the following for many of the updates included here: >> Ian Butterworth, who was a master at JRGS/JRHS from 1963 to 1980. >> Anne Smith, who was with the school and SFC from 1970 to 1999, as Senior Mistress, Deputy Head and Principal. >> Cliff Cummins, a pupil at the school from 1956 to 1962, who found many dates at the Family Records Centre. >> Paul Graham, a pupil at the school from 1959 to 1966, who located additional details in a variety of sources. >> Anthony Childs, a pupil at the school from 1947 to 1953, who updated a number of individual entries. >> Tony Almond, a pupil at John Newnham school from 1957 to 1961, who recalls former master Charles Myers. >> Keith Hunter, a pupil at the school from 1968 to 1975, who recalls his first-year form master A. Robin Wilkinson. >> Peter Hurn, a pupil at the school from 1967 to 1973, who recalls several teachers from the late-Sixties & early-Seventies. >> James Barter, a pupil at the school from 1970 to 1973, who recalls several teachers from the early-Seventies. JRGS Teaching Staff late 1954, prior to opening of Upper Shirley Road site in Spring 1955 As Paul Graham (JRGS 1959-66) points out: "It is fascinating to think that 11 of these masters were still teaching at John Ruskin Grammar School 10 years later in 1965, and that two others - Mr. Neale and Mr. Richardson - stayed until about 1960. The continuity of such a senior core of staff must have contributed to the increasing prestige of JRGS during the decade after the move to Shirley from Central Croydon."
