I attended here the same years as Ian Cromack. I lived directly across the road from the School.

Does anyone remember Don Masson at Manton School from 1958-62? He went on to play football for Middlesbrough and later captained Scotland.
I remember Don coming to Middlesbrough and attending Marton Road when his family came down from Scotland. He was in the same year as my older brother Keith, they both went on to play football for Boro Boys then Boro Juniors along with the Goalie Dennis Woodhouse. Don also played pro for QPR and Notts County.
I attended both the infant and junior schools in the late 60’s. Mrs Anderson was the headmistress. My tutor was Mr Appleton and I remember Mr Mazza. My Nana Mrs Helen Petch was head cook. I lived on Wellesley Rd
I was born in 62, and attended both infants and juniors at Marton Road. I recall all the names you mentioned as well as Mr Bragg. My late mother Dorothy Chantrell was assistant cook and probably worked with your nan. We lived in Beech Street.
I loved Marton Road School. Attended there in the 60s both juniors and primary and remember Mr Mazda. Caught him smooching another teacher in an upstairs classroom. I also remember Mrs Porter, Miss Stone and Mrs Henderson. And being sent out into the school yard to look through raspberry ruffle paper at the eclipse!
I attended Marton Road Infant and Junior School from 1947 – 1953 before going on to Middlesbrough Girls High School. I’ve been trying to remember the names of the Headteacher and other members of staff from that period. Any help please!
I attended Marton Road as an infant from 1953 to 1958 and if it assists I recall the names of the Headmaster who was Mr Harold Robson and a very good teacher who was Mr Peterson.
I recall the name of some of my classmates as being Vivian Wilson, Raymond Brown, Robin ? who lived above the Greengrocers at the corner of Abingdon Road opposite the Postal Sorting Office and Eleanor Hamilton who’s parents had the hairdressers close to the Upex pie shop. From another post I believe the name Mr Shippey seems familiar to me! Hope this assists.
Headmaster 1961 Mr Hughf I believe he had taught previously at Stainsby school.
other teachers- Mr shippey, Mr Donaldson
Yes Neil and Ms Batty the music teacher also Mr Vallely I believe the maths teacher and in charge of the football team
My parents lived in Russell street, Middlesborough before emigrating to Southern Rhodesia in late 1949.
I attended Marton Road school probably around 1947 to 1949. I only returned from Africa to the UK in 2020.
