Welcome to 'Fuzzers' - home of Barkers' Butts School
The site is a kind of online scrapbook and aims to rekindle memories of the former Barkers' Butts School in Coventry by ex-pupils or staff and aims to encourage visitors to submit photographs and personal recollections of both Barkers Butts and Moseley Primary School.
We have strong connections with Barkers' Butts Rugby football Club - the badge and kit almost identical to those worn by pupils at the school - some of whom continued to play after they left and a handful playing for major teams including England. The 'Boys' and 'Girls' stones which originally were to be found on the front of the school now adorn each respective toilet at Barkers Butts Rugby Club.

The very fact that you are here demonstrates how the memory of those years lingers on. I just hope I have provided enough to keep you entertained for an hour or so but PLEASE try to help by sending in your OWN memories of your school years as it helps jog the memories of others and without this help, the site will become static.
We had a redesign in February 2008 - mostly to free me of the problems of trying to keep up with a forum (as well as hackers) and the site is therefore now purely information based - or at least it WILL be once it has been reassembled again. Please bear with me while I reinstate pages.
The historical information at Fuzzers is (I freely admit), peppered with my own personal observations on Barkers' Butts or Moseley Junior so I can't guarantee that every single fact is written in stone and you may not share my view on all aspects of school life. The site is a culmination of eight years of wading through records as well as a wealth of comment made by others so is not complete by any means but is as accurate as we can make it.
The 'Fuzzers' name is a reference to first year pupils, the exact origin of which is unknown but it continued throughout the schools history. In terms of building the content, I regard myself as a 'Fuzzer' - I am barely scratching the surface I know. The site is partly a trip down memory lane (good and bad) but also a useful resource for anyone interested in Secondary Modern education in the last century. Draw from it what you will.
We also include some elements relating to the old Moseley Junior School which in 2007 was demolished to make way for a more modern although smaller school. Both schools were architecturaly similar and many children transferred from one to the other. We also photographed Moseley extensively prior to demolition (see galleries) including some 360 panoramas courtesy of Virtual Midlands.
