View Full Version : Yewlands school past
Dave Ellis 27-02-2003, 19:48 I would like to inform any ex Yewlands School pupils that there is a website for you to contact old school friends. I set it up as a FREE meeting place after finding that it cost £5 per year just to send an old friend an email at friends reunited.
Yewlandspast.co.uk visit us and join in with the banter on our FREE discussion forum. :)
Or even post some of your old school photos in our online photo gallery.:lol:
Ooooh, a reunion in a pub, i'll be there for sure......... hehe
did any one go to yewlands school and leave in 77
Hi there.
You might want to check this thread out. Here (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=316)
Yes i did but left in 1976
Bushbaby 27-04-2004, 15:41 You may be interested to know that Olympic Bronze Medallist, Sheila Sherwood (nee Parkin) went to Yew Lane from the age of 11 to 13, at which point she passed her "13 Plus" and went to Echo.
I was in the same class as Sheila Parkin all the time she was at Yew Lane and that was from the age of 11 in 1957 until she was 16 in 1962. During her time in the 5th year 1961/1962 she was the Head Girl. Sheila sat her GCE's at Yew Lane and then moved to Ecclesfield to study for her A Levels.
Does anyone remember the teachers:_
Miss Honeyball (Biology)
Mr Topham (English)
Mr Topham (PE)
Mr Morris (Geography & Commerce)
Mr Mitchell (AKA Rubberneck) (History)
Mrs Wragg (English)
Mr Metcalfe (Environmental Science)
Mr Collette (Asst Head and Geography)
Miss Jones (French & German)
Mr Watkin (French)
I also remember 2 headmasters - Carter and Bland. Didn't one of them get killed by lightening whilct camping in France?
And who was the little fat bloke who taught Physics?
The physics teacher was Mr. Avil. He had a habit of handcuffing girls to the stools in Room 2. I'm sure he'd be locked up for that sort of thing these days!
Thats right and the chemistry teacher was Mr Osborne, Woodwork Mr Holmes and Tech Drawing Mr Turner.

Internetowl 30-07-2005, 16:19 I left in 82 - Topham (PE) was like the thinking man's Howard Wilkinson <g>, he had a young chap with him called Merriman? who used to hunt down the female hockey teacher - who was a real tiger on the sports pitch...
McKenzie - the mad art teacher and Colin Tanser the music teacher - who looked like he was catweazels twin brother - I was in CJ Fullers class - he was a creep and was convicted in the late 80's for 'having pictures of young children' - we always knew he was a freak and its a pity no adults noticed !
i left in 1993,was in miss weightons class.. yippee:clap:
Iain Kelly 31-01-2006, 16:40 I was in the same class as Sheila Parkin all the time she was at Yew Lane and that was from the age of 11 in 1957 until she was 16 in 1962. During her time in the 5th year 1961/1962 she was the Head Girl. Sheila sat her GCE's at Yew Lane and then moved to Ecclesfield to study for her A Levels.
I think my mum was at Yew Lane around this time, Mary Kelly, did you know her?

Thanks for putting me right Tofty.
I knew Sheila's mum, she was a dinner lady at Thommy More's.
Lovely lady!
Bushbaby 31-01-2006, 17:20 I seem to recall that in 1967/68 that Yew Lane had a cracking football team. I'm trying hard to recall names - Bogey Platts, Geoff Evans, Richie Richardson. They would be 54/55 now
Can anyone enlighten me about the others?
Internetowl 31-01-2006, 17:52 In my time at Yewlands (77-82) - the best footballer was probably Rob Bloomer - went on to play for Chesterfield (scored 2 pens v the piggies) and is now coaching at Cheltenham
I don't think any of the rest of them were much to write home about.
briggy1967 11-03-2006, 00:27 Left Yewland in 1983,spent most of my time playing football and trying to dodge miss Coy,anyone remember the metalwork teacher who drove a TR7 ???...she was fit as ****
WednesdayMad 15-03-2006, 21:25 Chaucer ruled then, rules now.
Internetowl 16-03-2006, 12:04 Chaucer was ****e - I used to hang about with kids from there. In fact I once played rugby for them - went as a supporter of a mate who was playing and half the team failed to turn up and they taught me the basics of the game in 10 mins - it was a fun game but Yewlands didn't do it, god knows why?
briggy1967 19-03-2006, 20:26 Chaucer rules!!! Frigg me, we used to practice on chaucer boys at Yewlands before real action with colley.

Geoff Evans? There was a teacher at Colley by that name. Not sure if he was a PE teacher but he did go on to marry Miss Boothe who taught PE at the same school. Wonder if it's the same Mr.Evans!
surfinjim 22-03-2006, 01:55 I left in 82 - Topham (PE) was like the thinking man's Howard Wilkinson <g>, he had a young chap with him called Merriman? who used to hunt down the female hockey teacher - who was a real tiger on the sports pitch...
McKenzie - the mad art teacher and Colin Tanser the music teacher - who looked like he was catweazels twin brother - I was in CJ Fullers class - he was a creep and was convicted in the late 80's for 'having pictures of young children' - we always knew he was a freak and its a pity no adults noticed !
I left in 85 and these names bring back happy memories. McKenzie now/was working for a funeral directors as a driver. Tanser, top man. He wouldn't know one day from the next but certainly was the spit of cat weazel. I seem to remember he had a ginger afro!!!!!
Was the female PE teacher Miss Coy by the way?
Others I can remember being Mrs Stolton (History) she completely lost her marbles, Mr Ward (IT sort of bloke), Mr Turner (Tech Drawing) Mr Lipka (PE).
CJ Fuller was convicted for taking pictures of young children, not for having pictures, although I would regard them as one and the same.
InternetOwl - would you have been in Bob Bloomers year then, as I played football with him for the Old Harrow.

swiniberg 07-04-2006, 16:39 Does anyone remember the teachers:_
Mr Topham (English
Mr Morris (Geography & Commerce)
Mr Mitchell (AKA Rubberneck) (Histor
Mr Metcalfe (Environmental Science)
I also remember Mr Topham, Mr Mitchell (who was deaf)! Mr Metcalfe taught Maths I believe. I was at Yew Lane SMS 1962-66. I don't remember the little fat Bloke, but I do remember Mr Carter, the head. I think Mrs Mason was Deputy Head and taught French. Does anyone know if the mural inside the foyer is still there. Four hundred miles away from Yew Lane school I happened to meet up with another pupil. He is my hairdresser and we attended the same school (different name) twenty years apart. Funny old world.
cheekyone 07-04-2006, 18:01 i left in 1993 and was in mr wards class (computer teacher):clap:
SASHADRAIN 07-04-2006, 22:27 I Was In Mr Avil's Form And Was Handcuffed On Many Occasions Usually To Another Girl. Only Realised He Was A Pervert Years On.

I must have been there about the same time as you !!!
I remember the English Teacher Mr Topham (old man Topham) who would begin most classes by telling the troublemakers to get outside the class so that there was no disruption. We read some amazing books in his class.....
I also remember Mr Fuller, we went on a school trip to France and some of the boys caught him looking under the blinds at the girls getting ready for bed. We all agreed he should get a good pasting from a group of 15 year olds (which he did...) instead of reporting him to the other teachers as he was a total perv....
Was anyone else on that trip ???
yummyyumyum 22-10-2006, 14:03 my dad and auntie went to yewlands, my dad is 50 next year and auntie is a couple of years younger....

LoobyLoo9 02-11-2007, 10:52 I left in 2000, my tutor was mrs cain
Nigel Womersle 03-11-2007, 18:00 Iain Kelly - if your Mum's maiden name was Selman, then she was in my class at Ecclesfield Infant and Junior School. The Mary I knew, married a Kelly. Sadly, she is no longer with us, but I remember her vividly. As a teenager, she was an absolute stunner. She actually stopped the traffic, as drivers let her cross the road in The Haymarket. Mary had a very bubbly personality and was liked by everyone. A Mum to be very proud of.
WednesdayMad 05-11-2007, 21:20 Chaucer aggro...
Iain Kelly 02-05-2008, 20:29 Nigel, I had given up on a reply to my post and have just found yours today. I don't know what I was thinking putting my Mum's married name down. Thanks for your kind words about her, I'd love to talk to anyone else who might have known her. I left Ecclesfield when I was 15 but there must be quite a few people there who remember her.
Thanks again, it meant a great deal to read your post
All the best
Iain Kelly

Was anyone else on that trip ???
The trip sounds familar. Think Ive got some pics somewhere. mmmm can I remember who was there when I was?....... Karen Smith, Suzanne Bradley, Kevin Smith, Wayne Simpson, Barrie Pollard to name a few.
I seem to remember that one of the teachers husbands came, think he may have been american and the lads put toothpaste all over the door handle and it was him that opened the door. They also took the springs out of someones bunk and it collapsed when he got in it:D
My memory of Mr Topham was the dancing at lunchtime around christmas
I left in 87/88.My form teacher was the sewing teacher cant remember her name.Fav teachers were mr renardson , miss coy and and mrs round [science].
the peggsta 06-05-2008, 18:31 I went to Yewlands between 88 and 92 form tutor Mr sourby[PE] best teacher Mrs sommers [science] also Mr Burton was one hell of a funny teacher used to crease me up when i bothered to go to school.
Barrie Polla 01-07-2008, 23:26 Hi I just came across this forum and the memories came flooding back, I remeber the trip to France brought a smile to my face. Well I suppose some of you will have heard some stories about me over the years some lets just say ive lead a colour full and varied life since my days at Yewlands to say the least :-) any correspondence would be interesting.
blades69 02-07-2008, 14:08 iwent to yewlands 81-85 my form teacher was mrs round she taught german i also remember christmas in the hall LOL WITH MR TOPHAM
Glenn Fox 14-08-2008, 23:53 I left in 84' my tutor was Ms Knight, she started with us and left when we left,. Last time I saw her she was selling the socailist worker down the High St. several years later. The other maths teachers were Mr. (smoke the cigar) Benson ther was one that went on to open a shoe shop just after we started What about Mr. (Claypole) Bishton who taght phisics and the one in the work shop that looked like Captain Kremmen and his mate that was always sweating Mr. Holmes I do believe and my old friend the Gordy phisics teacher. He once tried to beat me up at the back of the class in the labs in the Bristol block his name has slipped my mind, Alderson, thats it Mr. Alderson. I saw him some years later crossing the road near the University, was tempted to put my foot down. I wonder if he still drives the old 2CV. Can anybody remeber the name of the teacher from the work shops that was involved with the restoration of the moggy 1000 in the garage he drove an old mini wore John Lennon specs and had terrible breath? Mr. Morton if memory serves, left to teach at Chaucer I do believe, also mr. Trevorrow, Miss Coy was ther when I left, and Mrs Overland.
I thought mr morton always rode a bike
Glenn Fox 15-08-2008, 22:01 I thought mr morton always rode a bike
only in fair weather, he once had to take me home when i was ill and it definatley was not on the back of a bike of any sort.
Anyone remember Mrs. Neale. Used to teach Art
The mural in the foyer at yew lane school was painted by Barbra Hepworth the partner of Henry Moore – if it’s still there it must be worth a fortune – I was at yew lane when Barbra painted it (1960) and I would speak to her at the end of the day when the school was empty and she would explain what she had done that day and explain the technique she was using and also the meaning being expressed in the picture.
A privileged experience - must be the reason I have lots of artist as friends.
I was there 1980 to 82 Mrs Neale was my tutor. Miss Brown,(German Teacher)was my fantasy yum!yum! My sister Adele was in the same year as me.My brother Julian was a year above and my other sister Mandy was a year above Julian.
Does anyone remember Mr Morton (the milky bar kid) who taught Design Technology in the early 80s. Top teacher who knew his stuff and took an interest in his students. I remember going on various camping trips to Snowdonia, The Lakes and wait for it......
Hagg Farm in the Peak District with him and a Biology teacher who's name was ????.
He did however own a Citroen 2CV which I will never forget following a lift he gave us to Hagg Farm with the roof folded back. I was part of the intake who came from Grenoside in 1976 for the first time and had a great time on the whole.
What about Mrs Gunn and the Cherry Buns???
Mrs Cockshut who was my first tutor in group 1.3.
Post a reply if this brings it all back
Cheers

Cathyburke 29-04-2009, 11:16 One or two of you have mentioned the mural here. I'd like to know more about the mural which was painted by Barbara Mildred Jones - an artist who also designed The Woddentops BBC series sets. I'd like to know more about her intentions in putting the image together for the school - what she saw was being communicated in the imagery. I'd also like to find out who decided to cover it over and when that happened.
Cathy
nuttaaaa 29-04-2009, 19:48 the mural was fire damaged after the fire in the old libary in the early 1990,s it would have cost the school too much to get it restored so they boxed it in behind a paster board wall untill the new school was biult . im corrently trying to find out if the mural was saved or destroyed this is as much as i know
if i find out any thing i,ll let you know

Cathy
has I said earlier, I spoke with Barbara, and yes I got the name wrong, it is Jones not Hepwoth.
At the time she told me she was a friend of Mr Clayton (Headmaster) and that they had studied together or know each other from University. The murel was of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Barbara's take on this was something like this:- we the pupils were at the start of our lives, just as the mural depicted the beginning of life. Barbara attempted to explain about the paint she was using and how it was made, she also explained about brush strokes and colour. I also remember she had a miniture painting of the whole mural which she did before coming into the school and was working from this minuture, explaining that this is the way murals are done.
Hope this helps Cathy

Andywalker 10-10-2012, 18:51 Hi everyone, I was known as Andrew Calendar when I was at Yewlands from 71 / 75.
Never been back, nor had any contact since I left, so interested in any news.
Looking through the messages I can really relate to some of them.
That doggy teacher who use to handcuff Leslie Rodgers ended up teaching my son and he was still a crap teacher
Mr Avil (room 2) was the handcuff teacher.
