Wilfred Perkins Wilfred Perkins was the headmaster of Bessie Street School in the early 1970s , during the period when Ken Barlow was deputy head . Despite his gruff appearance , Perkins was an amiable leader , often seen joking with staff and occasionally entertaining them at his home . As a teacher , Perkins strictly observed the national curriculum , but was willing to bend the rules if it meant keeping the parents happy . His approach was the opposite of Ken ' s , as the new deputy head discovered when he started working there in January 1972 , having previously taught English and History there between 1962 and 1964 . On his first day , Ken was reprimanded for not attending assembly , told off for going off on a tangent by teaching the children about World War I , and being too weak on discipline . One of Ken ' s most disruptive pupils was Terry Bates . When Terry was given detention by Ken , Perkins overruled him and let Terry go as he was responsible for taking his younger sister Doreen home while his parents worked . Taking an interest in the boy , Ken found out that his parents weren ' t around much and told him to ask his mother Rita Bates not to work him so hard . Rita saw Perkins to complain about Ken ' s interference , and Ken was ordered to let the matter drop . Over the next few weeks , Ken and Rita developed a close relationship , but despite the children gossiping about it , with Perkins catching Mark Hillkirk writing " Barlamb fancies Terry Bate ' s Mam " on the blackboard , Ken and Rita assured him that there was nothing between them . In April , Perkins made Ken sports master for an upcoming football match between Bessie Street and Regent ' s Road . Perkins placed a friendly wager on the result against his counterpart from Regent ' s Road , James Dawson , and watched the lads play from the sidelines . The team won the match , beating Regent ' s Road for the first time in ten years . In July 1973 , Perkins held a soiree for the teachers at his home , celebrating the end of another school year . There , he introduced Ken to his daughter Elaine . Ken and Elaine took to each other immediately - a situation which pleased Perkins . They had a brief friendship but stopped seeing each other when Ken fell for Elaine , who did not reciprocate his feelings . Nearly a year later , Ken was offered a job as an executive at the Mark Brittain Warehouse by Sir Julius Berlin , who had been impressed by him when he came to the warehouse to pass on the local residents ' complaints about the increased lorry activity in Coronation Street . As the job would represent a significant career change for him , Ken took a few days to think it over . Perkins was surprised that Ken was considering selling himself for an extra £1 , 000 and a company car , and said as much to Ken ' s wife Janet , hoping that she would talk him out of it . In fact , Ken hadn ' t told Janet about the job , and upon learning about it she was greatly in favour of Ken accepting . Ultimately , Ken took the job and left teaching after twelve years . Perkins was a widower and also had a son , who lived in London .
