This page lists the Eye Grammar School staff that we know of. These are all from the mid 20th Century onwards but of course there were very many before.
In addition to listing names we would like to build pen pictures - (hardly biographies) - but the odd anecdote perhaps.
Please let the webmaster know if you have information to post here. Send your suggestions to
