Anyone out there who went to St. Mary's at Walkley circa early to mid 70's? I remeber certain names like Terry Crookes, John Webster, Michael Dinegan, Theresa Buckmaster.......and Mrs. Reynolds....the fearsome headmistress. Is the school still there?

Bildeborg.

yep
its still there

I went there when it was Burgoyne Road School. My favorite teacher was Miss Penrose. I think Mr Dalton was the Head Teacher but we moved house in 1974

I always thought Burgoyne Road had it's own school, a large red brick building. St. Marys was on South Road, next to St. Marys Church and at the bottom of Greenhow Street.

i think st marys started out on south rd,but along time ago it moved down to burgoyne rd i dont know long ago it was,

If I recall, the first headmaster when I was there, prior the Mrs. Reynolds taking over was a Mr. Jarman.......for some reason I had to polish all the chromework on his car during platyime........perhaps I was a naughty boy :D

I attended St Mary's on South Road, then it merged with Burgoyne Road School. I remember Mr Allott ( the headteacher) Mrs Webster ( the deputy head) Mrs Horsely (she was the lady who put the cream on your head when you bumped it, and gave you a "bump note" to take home to your parents. I even went back there while I was on a YTS sheme, as part of my placement.

As I remember Mr Jarman was the headmaster there,Mrs Reynolds was there as a teacher and used to bring her son Paul to school..Mr Forrester was my favourite teacher there and he and his wife took us along with Mr and Mrs Morrell and Pat of course to Belgium...blankenberg I remember,where a few of us went out to the sea late at night.....dont remember it merging with Burgoyne Road though...

yep
its still there

...but now a centre for Sheffield College. I used to go to adult ed classes there in the 80's and 90's.

Is this the Miss Penrose who later taught at Walkley Primary (late 80's/early 90's)?

I remember Mr. Jarman, his breath always smelled of Vinegar, I had to polish the chrome on his car as a punishment during play time. As for Mrs. Reynolds, we knew her as 'Rennie Bags' but not to her face mind! There was also a Mrs. Mee there too.

:confused: Really don't recall St Marys going down to Burgoyne Road at all..Do you remember Mr Forrester then ?..or is that a bit too early for you...Ha Ha.....

It Was In The Late Very Late 70's When It Moved Down To Burgoyne Road

The kids that were there when I was include, John Webster (Hoole Street), Michael Dinegan (South Road), Terry Crookes(football mad), Theresa and Warren Buckmaster (top of Greenhow Street, Julian Roland (Carr Road), Mark Hartley (Herbalist's shop, South Road), Tony Tarantini (South Road), Andrew Cuneo(of iced cream fame, South Road), a really dodgy looking lass called Mandy (tough as nails she was), Peter Holt, Julie Gregg (newsagents shop, South Road), Peter Hardy, Louise Woodhead (lovely ginger hair), Richard Tunstall (Greenhow Street, used to let me ride his 'chopper bike'), Leroy Gale (the first coloured kid I got to know and no doubt many others, oh, by the way, I am amongst that lot, if you can pick me out, answers on a postcard please!

i went there lol, i was terrified of mrs reynolds did you have to do that awful country dancin?. lots of those names sound familiar though its hard to put faces to them after all this time. def remember the tarantini bros, and mark and john webster, did you know jeanette cryer, mandy hawnt, julie goodwin, linda nuttall, margaret beal?

I remember the dancing.....in the hall across the playground. Really hated it too. The name Julie Goodwin rings a bell, and of course the Tarantini brothers, the eldest being John Tarantini who we called "squashed nose" then ran like the clappers :hihi: as for John Webster, we were pretty good mates at the time. Another name was Louise Woodhead and her little twin sisters, all three had lovely ginger hair as I recall. There was a tall girl called something Colley, used to tell us she was Evlis' cousin......they were the days.

Hi Jam, yes, it was Beverley Collie...well done, but as for the other names, I don't recall any of them. I was born 1961, and only went to St. Marys from about 1868 ish to 1971 ish, thence onto King Teds, then Lady Manners at Bakewell. I don't recall going to the Bole Hills for sports day, but I remember the day we heard Mrs. Reynolds had died, I went running to my mum standing at the school gates shouting "mum, mum, Rennybags is dead".....for which I got a huge slap across the head :( ....ho hum.
