Eric A Smith

Born 2nd April, 1923; died in 2005

When Eric Smith became headteacher in 1962 or 1963, the school had just reverted to being a primary school.

Ita Macdonnell, who taught in the school from 1966 - 1969, tells us that he was always 'Mr Smith', to staff and pupils alike.

He was headteacher for over 20 years; the Catholic Directory lists him as still headteacher in 1982.
