The lack of teachers after World War II meant that classes had limited teachers. There were only 10-25 boys per class. At the end of every year, an elderly gentleman would visit the school and give a prize to the best pupil. There were no examinations held in 1950, and most of the boys were expected to go to work at local factories. Discipline was strict, and misbehavior would mean being sent to the headmaster's office where he had two canes. Mr 'Jock' Hutchinson was the first headmaster. Hutchinson had previously been headmaster at Trinity Road School. As a keen boxer, Hutchinson held boxing sessions during lunch break. The most notable headmaster and longest serving was Brian Andrews (1921-2014) he became the headmaster in 1963, and devised the current single sex teaching ethos in 1972. He retired in 1990,where he was replaced by Chris Nichols who retired in 2010 and was replaced by the current headmaster Mark Farmer. At the end of every academic year the school has a headmasters book where students are invited to sign it if they have achieved something outstanding in school and sometimes out, the record to date for the most number of signatures is seven.
