Did anyone attend Sir Harold Jackson in Bradway. Do you have any stories/memories about your time there ?

I attended the Bradway school (top of Twentywell Rd) in 1951, as the Greenhill school at the top of Bocking wasn,t built then, oh such memmories.The school only had 2 classrooms, both with an open fire in the middle of each one, outside toilets, very cold in winter. School dinner,s just consisted of salad, cannot remember eating anything hot, but i suppose we must have.

The building you are refering to is known as the Annexe. I believe that this was used before Sir Harold Jackson was built. That building is now used for groups to hire out, childrens parties etc.

well at least the building is still their and they haven,t pulled it down, do u know if the chapel (old stone one and the brickbuilt one) near the school are still in use, also, sorry, but do u know if there are any old pictures of Bradway???

I went to SHJ in the 80s, and have vague memories of Mrs Harrison, Mrs Ewens (sp?), assistant ms Blundell, and Mrs Williamson - who I remember as quite scary! Mrs Ewens used unifix for counting etc and we sang Autumn Days a lot in assembly - "...AND A WIN FOR MY HOME TEAM!..." , and played on the big concrete pipes at play time. Would love to see any photos of SHJ if anyone has any!

And Mrs Lee - Long black hair and yellow T reg sports car!

SO only 3 Forummers went to SHJ - Come on...

I went to Sir Harold Jackson 1970-1975 anybody else out there go at this time.......I remember Mr Malliband being the headmaster....then there was Miss Young, Mr Morris - who also taught gymnastics. Lunch time recorder lessons!! and I loved the playground espeically the concrete pipes to play on!!! Sports day down on the field.... :O)

I didn't go there but I went to Jordanthorpe with a lot of people from there. Some are now parents at the school themselves! :)

Miss this place to bits!! Was there from 91 to 98. Nostalgia really kicks in here lol. The summers at playtime on the newly mowed lawn were the best.

For anyone who remembers, Mrs Harrison was the nicest teacher I ever had. Poole was a legend, that goes without saying.

who was he?

I spent 2 years in the school when it was new - J3 and J4, must have been at the end of the 60's and remember Mrs Young and Mr Milliband teaching recorder at lunchtimes, the school field, and the concrete pipes ring a bell. It seemed to be a happy school, or those are the memories I have of it. Have a photo posted on friends reunited - look for Julie Edson and then the photos for the school, someone else has added one too. Have managed with help to put most names to it.

Hey I went there 1982 to 1989 and remember all those teachers Mrs Williamson etc. I remember a certain pupil throwing a chair at Mr Maddox with the warts on his hands and Mr Driskell the head teacher.

Actually strange as it may be but both my children go there now and they still have the same dinner tables and chairs from the 70's and I am now a parent governor.

Excellent school, great memories and still great now.

ahaf, I think we may have been there at the same time...http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=682463580#/photo.php?pid=901393&o=all&op=1&view=all&subj=4295641461&aid=-1&id=682463580&oid=4295641461 I am 2nd from left on front row!

I think you may be right. You are two years older than me I think, you were the same age as Alicia, Sue etc

i was there until 2003 or something - am at Birkdale.
I hear they are planning to change the name to Bradway Primary - How Boring!

I went to both SHJ and Jordantorpe.

both my kids went to shj in the late 90s.apparantley they are trying to change its name to something like bradway school.

I went to shj and remember mr malliband, 1965-1969, does anyone remember the name of the english teacher with the big nose. names i can remember are christopher humyard, david green, mark phillips, rowena grassam, i used to live on birchit road.

I went to SHJ 1992-1996, Mrs Freeman was the best teacher, and of course, Mrs Harrison!

I was there mid to late 70's before going to Jordo. Remember Mr Julian and Mr Bennet who used to give peanuts as prizes. Also remember when the snooker table arrived and there was about a 3 month waiting list for a game.

I attended this same two-roomed school in 1966, Mrs.Platt+Mrs.Brown were the two teachers. The following year '67 Sir Harold Jackson school opened, about 0.3miles nearer Bradway opened. Mrs.Platt moved there and taught me again.

I went to SHJ school in 1983-1987 what a fantastic school it was, Mr Driscul was the head, there was Mrs Noble i had her for two year i remember her been really strict but fair with everone, does anyone remember the school plays? there was Sweeny todd and the one that sticks in my mind is jack and the beanstalk, jack was played by James Filby the giant was played by Robert Warren, i had a video of it but i lent it out and never got it back, i would love a copy if any one has one. :)

Poole was a legend, that goes without saying.

I believe he's the Head at Rainbow Forge now.
