Ayresome School
 | | Ayresome School consists of two impressive buildings full of character. It is situated between Parliament Road and Crescent Road at the Linthorpe Road end. It was opened in 1902 by Sir Samuel Sadler. It merged with Crescent Road School in 1932. Originally it had all three departments, infant, junior and senior.Also from 1938 a rebuilt Fleetham Street school lost its senior department and pupils from there transferred to Ayresome at age 11.The 1944 Education Act established Secondary Modern Schools which required the provision of craft and domestic science facilities. Ayresome provided these not only for its own pupils but for Archibald school as well. Ayresome School is now a primary school. For many years the Middlesbrough Teachers' Centre was located in the building. |

An Education Interrupted by the War
Marguerite Cook
I went to Ayresome School but when the war started I was evacuated to Scarborough. I remember three teachers Granny Grainger who rode a sit-up and beg bike (I don't think that I look as old as her even now or perhaps it is childish memories of age) Then there was Miss Houghten one blue eye one brown and Fanny Trewitt quite young and attractive, I think she married one of the teachers at the boys school. They were both evacuated with us. I can see us now at Middlesbrough Station with our gasmasks, suitcases and wearing pixie-hats. It was the first time that I saw my dad cry. My memories of those days are not happy..I passed the scholarship but the war started and we only went to school at Scarborough half a day, one week mornings the next afternoons. I don’t think I learned much, I came home and left school at 14.

Thanks for the Memories
I attended Ayresome Senior Girls for three years, in the mid to late 60s. I remember Miss Houghton very well. She was our science/biology teacher, and was very proud of her two odd eyes ! Miss Houghton is now over 90 years of age and is possibly the oldest surviving teacher from Ayresome girls. I also recall the head, Miss Nicholas. The English/history teacher Mrs Horn. Thanks for the memories
