I went to E.G.G.S. (Erdington Girls Grammar School) as it was then called...now it's plain old Kingsbury (Rd.) school and mixed...and quite difficult for teachers, I believe from what someone I knew who did supply teaching told me in about '97.
I was there from '70-'75. Don't suppose anyone else here was?
It sounds bad now, and we were usually respectful of teachers then, but not always
I remember a song that 2 girls in our class made up about our English teacher who was also our form teacher in about the 3rd year. Quite ashamed of ever joining in with it now.

out of the window you must go
e-i-e-i-e-i-o
it wasn't me, but she was reduced to tears once when some sang that....
but I did put red chalk dust on her chair once before she came into class, as believe it or not, I had read about some girls doing that in one of them old-fashioned Enid Blyton school books (maybe the Mallory Towers books).
if my kids had done that I wouldn't have been happy.
anyway, here's some pics of the school that I found.
the main front entrance
the gym
the 3rd hockey pitch and the 'banks' (now there is a leisure centre on this spot I think, attached to the school).
(this is where we would go to smoke fags and skyve...up the top of the banks).
