Yewlands school past

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.

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

Yes i did but left in 1976

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 left in 1975.

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.

yeah i went to yewlands it was rubish
