Mr Mchale

Remember in one history lesson, some asian kid was tapping his pen in front of Mchale when he was talking. After a while he lost his temper and grabbed his exercise book and launched it across the room in a fit of anger cos the kid kept tapping his pen. Poor lad.

Mr. Greenhalgh

Was he the german teacher who was kinda cool and not your normal teacher

What was the old strict guy who taught history - not mchale or green - but gave a detention in my 2nd lesson!


Mr Green

Still makes me LOL when he called my mate 'nitball' in class. Then my mate threatened to sue him.

Mrs Walmsley

She had an obsession with giving me conkers

Mr Law

PE teacher - but was he the red hed one or the balding one with a tash?

Mr Mooney

Maths teacher who gave me detention just for not turning up for 5 minutes after school.

What was the name of the biggish science teacher with blond hair?

Miss Cruise (I think)

Blond teacher who all the lads fancied and taught music. We used to joke that her and Mr White were getting it on.

I think she became a Magistrate when she retired. Does anyone remember seeing the head master - I left in 1983 and I don't even remember his name or even remember seeing him once. Everyone is is right about Sutcliffe. The best place for him is in a prison as an inmate not a prison warden - the things he used to were awful and I speak from experience as I had him for maths for a year. The Walmsleys - you couldn't get two different people and two completely different methods of teaching. I was in Peel House and we were dreadful - we came last at everything. Lindsay - I think you were in my year - left in 1983.

Our year was the first with the blue uniforms 1977.
Miss Nevison(french) was the hottest of the teachers.
I liked Mr Hartley(maths) he was my favourite teacher.
Gary Robbinson how sad the whole thing was.
Mr Baily was head and Mr Mason deputy when i started.
Mr Sutcliffe i hated but i played golf with him about five years back and he's a nice chap.
School reunions have both been fun.
I hated school but looking back damn good years they where.

I think the told Mrs Jones it was educational because I was the team scorer or some other such flannel!

Also remember some others such as all the Smiths!! AP (andy)(remember all that bloody dosh!!!! and all with only 1 good eye if you remember - twenty pound notes all over Queens Road!!), PB (Peter) (R.I.P.) I (Ian - the only lad in the year that never had a fight but had a reputation as a hard nut!! - not true though cos Ive given him a few good slappings since and hes soft as sh.te!! Few others have as well over the years which even I was surprised at!!), M (Mark I think??) and another A (Andy I believe)

They were drenched and literally sobbing. They had tried to save the boy and could not.

My favorite teachers were Mrs. Poole (commerce) and my art teacher who I only remember as Angela (anyone know her last name?)....she had brilliant red hair....and I remember her, because she really seemed to care about her students. Anyone remember Mr. Sutcliffe? He was either my chemistry or math teacher (getting old - memory fading)....he once lifted me off the ground by my hair for playing catch with a tennis ball in the hallway. Terrible temper ! Mr. White was my music teacher - pompous little man he was....I wanted to play the trumpet, and he informed me that girls do not play the trumpet, and gave me a french horn instead. That lasted two weeks or so. Music was the first subject I dropped, (right before physics) ....funnily enough I am a musician and writer now. Anyone remember the scandal spreading across the school that Mr. White was having an affair with a student....? Can't remember her last name but her first name was Karen.
Ms. Tomlinson caught me smoking with a group of boys and we all got sent to Mr. Mcaffry. The boys all got the cane. I got a letter sent home to my mother. I don't know which was worse.
