Re: Moorhead High School
 

Hi all,


Stumbled across this site! Yes, I left Moorhead in 84. In fact, I am sure Lindsay Ormerod was in one or two of my classes.

Here are a couple of other teachers I remember. Madame Smith (French) how could anyone forget her! Miss Goodyear (Music), went to Johannesberg, I think, she was gorgeous!

I also remember that awful day the chap got struck by lightening and his mate was blinded for a few weeks too.

Mr Cauldwell, how could I forget him? I remember his first day about 1980. He used to pick on Safraz Ali and grab his ears then bang his head on the blackboard! All for a laugh of course! Bet he doesn't get away with that now.

Left Accy in 89/90. Good to see this site.

it didnt happen to be a guy called mark newson by any chance did it .

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Hello Heathyboy....

Me and Sparkologist left Moorhead in 1984, Lindsay left in 1983, We will probably remember you too...:D

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Well i didn't think much of moorhead. I left in the year 2000, class of the millenium...........

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I came in 2000.........the REAL class of Millenium.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

But when a pic is put in the paper in 45 years time it will be my year that is the class of the millenium, thats the REAL class of the millenium

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I thought it was Gary Robinson but may be wrong. It was about this time of year that it happened if my memory serves me right..

Re: Moorhead High School
 

It was Gary Lettie, wasn't Mark Gillian Newsons brother

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I remember it was Gary Robinson and Mark Newson was injured. I can remember a few people being interviewed in hospital beds on News at Ten!!! Never sprinted so fast that day across the plateau. Bad memories and a sad sad day. Was a 1st year when it happened and Mr Clayton taught us History straight after, then we all had to go in the main hall for our parents to pick us up (if they could contact them) I had to walk home..

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I was also a first year. Was in Chemistry with Mr Edwards straight after it happened. I remember having to wait in the hall afterwards but I also had to walk home because my parents were working. I ran all the way home but wasn't the only one...

Re: Moorhead High School
 

What year did it happen? I'm sure my Aunty Kelma has told me the story and said that she was at Moorhead at the time, I think she left in '81 or '82.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

It was the beginning of June 1980.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Cheers Lettie.

It must have been horrific for the whole school and something those of you that were at Moorhead at the time will never forget.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

hi i started moorhead in 1995 and finished in 2000 it was a bad skool then but i suppose you cant knock it for the friends i made and the great teachers we had, mr williamson was my form tutor he was great, to name but a few teachers there. There was mrs ainsworth, mr mchale, mr cauldwell (ie chucklebrother thru and thru) mr ormerod (rest in peace sir) quite a few and i must say i hated it at the time but id give anything to go back now!!:D

Re: Moorhead High School
 

just realised sumthing too! hi steph dont know if you remember me but we were in the same year togeather? i used to hang around with stacey wyer and stephen harker?

Re: Moorhead High School

She lived on Listerstreet where I used to live but I don't know if she's moved

Re: Moorhead High School
 

lmao don't ever let Mrs Jones catch you saying that! The only 2 teachers to strike the fear of God in me was Jonesy and Clayton !! (Tinks shudders at the thought :o )

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I had Mrs Jones for History, she was scary wasn't she, always did my homework for her, once marched me into her office to remove my eyeliner!

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Jonsey brought the best (love of history) and the worst (footy boots in her office) in me. I got fine with Clayton because of running cross counntry and History. Cauldwell even told my neice about how I unlocked a cupboard my way (kicked it in).

Re: Moorhead High School
 

lmao! I got marched in and a weeks worth of detentions because this numpty walked past a certain PE teachers house in full school uniform on my way to town whacking it :rolleyes: !

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I too thought Jonesy was a good teacher, I saw her a couple of months ago (not to talk to) she doesn't look half as scary now.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Could that've been Mr Windles? I never whacked a full day, occasionally missed the last lesson and often games!

Re: Moorhead High School
 

She was a bloody good teacher ...... strict but fair and genuinely cared about her students welfare.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

lmao! YES! How did you guess?

Re: Moorhead High School
 

He lived on Haywood Road and I think he was the only one that lived locally, I'll never forget him because I got a right rollocking off him once ;)

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I wonder what happened to my studdied belt after windle took it off me? Mind you he was fond of using trainers for punishment.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I didn't get anything like that, I think corporal punishment had just been banned, not that I was that bad that I deserved that anyway.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Corparel punishment was banned in 83 I had a few run ins there managed to cop it in the first year for fighting in the quad.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

You sound like you were quite naughty Spuggie, was that your nick name at school as well?

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Mr Windle now owns the papershop on the main road near hollins,baxenden..Mrs Jones still lives on Barnfield St near Accy college saw her for the first time since school a few months ago(and I left in 88).She was scary at school,old "tin tit"lol.God knows who started that ridiculous nickname.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

She could be a very hard so and so hence......

Re: Moorhead High School
 

lmao 'tin tit' and become 'Iron Tits' by the time I was there. OMG I hope she doesn't come on accyweb :o


SPUGGIE, PILKY and Miss T Belle see me after school! :eek:

Re: Moorhead High School
 

You little liar Grego, Bill Green said that you were the devil incarnate....:D

Re: Moorhead High School
 

No need to grass on me now Lettie!

Spuggie, I remember you now, I thought it was you.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Cheers Jo the one and only.he he he:D

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Mr Williamson Mr Williamson Mr Williamson....Hmmmm.... When i hear that Ba%!rds name i get mad inside..... Didnt he used to make kids kneal on pencils, Thats right he did! I saw that once, but it never happened to me. He was always nasty towards me, one day he was shouting at me because i couldnt draw and i said something and he shouted "dont back chat to me" and picked me up by the ear. All this because i CANT DRAW. Im surprised i havent heard any stories about him getting the holy crap beat out of him because that guy deserves it bigtime.
Not all days was bad at that school though. Mr mchale and Mr dyson was my favourite teachers, so down to earth.

I was there 89-94 and if anybody reading was there then they may remember an english teacher called miss elliot. She was an extremely nice person( plus she let me listen to walkman in class ), Some lads would mess about in her class and say obsenities to her. Eventually she left work at moorhead i think it was in 94. I felt sorry for her, such a nice person brought to tears every day by stupid kids.

Does anybody remember mrs cruise...Man she was EVIL she made us write lines for 2 years in music class because of 2 idiots( i forgot who )....she used to get them all and tear them up in front of your eyes.....now thats education for you!!

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Mr Williamson once had a go at me, we were queuing to go into his class and he shouted for us all to be quiet, well I'd just been told a real funny joke and cracked up laughing, he went mad but the more he shouted the more I laughed, just couldn't stop, cant remember but think I was given det!:D

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Mr Williamson was and probably still is a pompous 'porno king' looking prat! I couldn't draw either so I got his greif for months too, until parents evening infact ........... my mum has a vicious tongue ;)

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I wish I had hit Williamson with the salt cellar maybe he would have eased of. He was just a bully and managed to get away with it the bass!:rolleyes:

Re: Moorhead High School
 

its never too late....I have wrote a email of complaint against him you should too....everbody should he bullys children and that is not cool

Re: Moorhead High School
 

It was a long time ago rob

Re: Moorhead High School
 

how long for you :) 14 years for me. anyway if he is still abusing his power as a teacher IF then it doesnt matter how long ago it was does it? I dont want another kid to feel like i did. I went to school with some lads that could of beat the hell out of him even at that age but he didnt pick on them.....

Were talking he made one lad KNEEL on pencils....That man should not be teaching full stop.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

weird how this thread made me remember about that...DAMN i wish i had told my dad about him

Re: Moorhead High School
 

19 YEARS AND STILL REGRET THE MISS. hEAD IN PTHE POTTERY SLURRY BIN AND COVERD IN WATER WAS HIS ACTION TO ME TALKING IN CLASS.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

how old will that %^$%^ of a teacher be now? can anybody say he still works there?

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Mr Williamson(i will chew gum all the time)A**hole.Mr Jorden was ok.Hey,I saw Mrs Jones today on Nuttall Street.Can't believe she used to scare the hell out of me,lol.Well at least until I threw a snowball right at her.I think she moulded herself off Thatcher(Tin tits n iron balls).

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I too went to moorhead, until being asked to kindly leave in the second year, and i can honestly say they were all bas****d`s, robinson (history) especially the guy used to beat me every lesson, turned into a personal war beat me for not doing homework, didnt do homework out of principal and took another beating, i can honestly say now that i am all "growed up" (supposedly) that the majority of teachers at that school in the early eighties did the same thing now they would put the iraqi war crimes trials to shame, that said I did have some good laughs with mates, every monday and tuesday my name would be read out in the "debt book", I once asked Simpkins the guy in charge of detention "why dont you just give me a season ticket and have done with it"?, his gobsmacked answer was to give me 3 more detentions, 3 more i didnt bother going to.
the only thing that school taught me was how to rebel more

Re: Moorhead High School
 

And i thought I had problems with detention and certain teachers. Seems the same names keep cropping up again and again. :(

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Re: Moorhead High School
 

remember mr jordan tinks..me and you stood in the dinner Q and he had a hard on...i think we laughed about that for the rest of the day, and what about stinky mr littler,always clapping his hands when he spoke,mr Bolton jumping outta his skin everytime one of us spoke...ah those where the days

Re: Moorhead High School
 

:D OMG! I still kill myself laughing over Jordans hard on in his tracky pants, I wasn't supposed to shout that loud that he had one!! :rofl38:

lol! All the holes in our jacket pockets trying to hide fags from McHale and Co. :D

Re: Moorhead High School
 

hahahahahaha McHale was supposed to be leaving this year (so i was told) i was gonna send him a card,he was my favourite teacher there,i know you wouldnt agree though tinks lol

Re: Moorhead High School
 

:rolleyes: Hmmmm you were McHales teachers pet, how come I always had to be moved when we were nattering? I was always a good girl in Mr Dysons class :D

Re: Moorhead High School

Re: Moorhead High School

Re: Moorhead High School
 

mr green once made me kneel under the blackboard with my knees on the radiator pipe with a ruler in my mouth to shut me up.....what can i say....i'm a gobby cow lol

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Billy "Chisiller " green hated me with a vengengence along with Simpkins who in the end gave up trying to teach me. :D

Re: Moorhead High School
 

:rolleyes: You! A gobby cow! ....... no way who said that? :D

Re: Moorhead High School
 

oi bitch bag behave ...i could tell some damn good stories about you on here lol ;)

Re: Moorhead High School
 

pmsl!! Now you wouldn't do that to me, would you? You know how shy I am :)

Re: Moorhead High School
 

When I started it was Accrington Grammar School, changed to Moorhead when it amalgamated with the High school in my second year (1975 I think). I remember Tony Robinson, Mr McCaffery and most of the others you have mentioned. Must have seemed like a life sentence to them.:)

Re: Moorhead High School
 

If you used to laugh at Gaz and Tash, you must have been in the same year as me and Sparkologist...:D

Re: Moorhead High School
 

i left moorehead i 87 my form teacher was mr omerod what a brill teacher the only downfall was mrs chippendale [wiggy] i remember mr wells mr scott mr rigby mr windle mr robinson what a good school:not_ripe:

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I remember reading this somewhere so as far as I am concerned WTW you are correct. 10/10 and a gold star!:biggrin8:

Re: Moorhead High School
 

saw mr and mrs walmsley last year. looking a hell of a lot older. it was good to see them. mrs walmsley said i would marry my mother. well i didnt realise what she meant until a number of years later. but she was right i constantly need looking after and my fiancee does that all the time.

p.s. this is wingys brother, mac (mick mccarthy) for those that dont know me as mac.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

Wow, feels so long since I left Moorhead, yet I only left in 2000 ^_^.

It was a good school when I first started going, but then it seemed to get worse (but at that time I was going through the rebellious stage then and everything seemed $@&# then). Probably didn't help having Mrs Parr for my tutor, we didn't get along that well for some reason (which had nothing to do with us disliking each other *innocent whistle*).

Still I remember some funny times from then, like the time Mr. Caudwell made one lad apologise to the light switch because he'd hit it turning it on :D. Wonder if he still keeps his family of bricks? ^_^

My crowning moment (or perhaps not... I still have the video evidence of how bad it was :D) was when me and my friend rounded up some poor peop... erm, willing volunteers to act out a scene from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy for the talent contest. Needless to say I don't think any of the students understood it (they were probably waiting for the singing and dancing groups), but at least some of the teachers understood it and got some enjoyment out of it ^_^.

Re: Moorhead High School
 

I work at Moorhead, obviously think its a fab school, its improved one hell of a lot since i was at school.

looking for christopher seymour, left in 1984
 

Hello can anybody help me. I'm looking for my dad.

I'm looking for Christopher Seymour, a moorhead leaver in 1984. He was tall with blonde hair as far as I know and I haven't seen him since I was very young and no longer remember what he looks like. I would be very grateful if nobody could actually tell me details of his whereabouts, if anyone has an old class picture of him so I have an idea of him.

I'm 17 years old and I have no idea who any of my other half of family are. I really hope somebody can help me in my search. I also had someone tell me they vaguely remembered a chris seymour in the boy scouts at the age of 11 or 12. does anybody know if this is true?

Please pm me or post on here.

Re: Moorhead High School

Re: Moorhead High School
