Just wondering if theres anyone out there who went to Earl Marshal school in early-mid 90's.

I expect most of them would be in prison or hospital or 6 feet under by now :help:

Abdul, thats not very nice. I'm alive and kicking for one. Why so nasty?

I would have been at Firth Park Secondary during the late 80s - early 90s, but my junior school was a feeder for Earl Marshal.

I'm not being nasty for the sake of it, but Earl Marshal school did have a bad reputation in the 90s! I should know...many of my friends went there :D

Earl Marshal Web Site (http://www.emc82.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk)

Abdul I know, I was there but it was run by people who didnt give a monkies.

I honestly sympathise with you.

Several years ago they had a nutter of a headmaster who would actually enrol all the trouble-causing pupils that were excluded from other schools!

What on earth was he smoking :confused:

You can only be talking about the one and only Mr Searle, class teacher or what. If you behaved badly, you didnt get punished, you got awarded a gold star.

I went to Earl Marshal late seventies early eighties. I suppose it had a bad reputation then. I came out passing all my GCSEs and A levels. However I think I had to work extra hard with all the people there who weren't interested in schooling.

I went to Earl Marshal, left about 78 didnt have any problems with the school. I got decent grades, served an apprenticeship and now run my own business.
any one remember mr ledger and his tightfitting tracksuit bottoms, or the story mr francis used to tell about a set of steps at southy green.

oh the joys of earl marshal, left in '88, place nearly killed me. (joe f)

Went there mid 70s for a short while. Did anyone know Gail Mason or Kaye Cooper ?

i went to earl marshal school between 1980-84

yeah i was there too , 1982 -86

I went to Earl Marshal, would have left in 88, I think I can honestly say it's the worst school I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with, and thats comparing it to some of the schools now.

Abdul, are your friends who went to EM now dead or in prison. Is it the schools fault that parents let their kids run riot then when any one disciplines them the parents threaten to sue, which starts a vicious circle. Agree though searle was not a full shilling when it came to running a school.

no offence like but at least a few of the people who went to earl marshall can actually read and write...well done you forum members!!! now you are out of the closet, did you get beat up there for bein clever?!! (errrm dont hit me i'm only jokin!):hihi:

what year did you leave school

you must have lived on either lloyd st or popple street then. Can you remember the old gritting yard at the bottom of robey street and jumping off the big piles of grit.

i lived next door to the gritting yard but was on lloyd street in 60 used to be electric yard with a hugh green building in it i remember spending many hour on the grit when i was a kid we used to jump over wall from prefabs

By virtue of moving house in 1984, I missed out on the delights of Earl Marshal and went from Burngreave School to Hinde House instead :D

didnt the op ask who WENT to earl marshal not who didnt. Sorry couldnt resist.

you were probably in my year, i went 78-82,? i didnt find it a bad school, i thought the headteacher mr bullivant was very strict along with math teacher mr thornton ( who iwas terrified of! )and miss driver. i wasnt very brainy but my sister acheived 9 gcse's while there. there was some good teachers, mr blakey, mr stow,mr caborn, and gorgeous mr tanner!wud love to know what became of them all and whats become of the school?is it still there?

I remember minnie cooper and kaye, think she had a brother as well.
the was a lad in my year, (78-82 ) 2nd name was cooper, he was very brainy and got called super cooper. could it be him?

well I spose i didnt do too bad considering i missed most of my last year due to health problems, i managed to get 4 gcse passes and an o level in music. i didnt get my mathes because i hated it so didnt even try and also because i knew i would never have use for pythagorous's theory at any time in my life!

the was a lad in my year, (78-82 ) 2nd name was cooper, he was very brainy and got called super cooper. could it be him?

Would that be David Cooper by any chance? He was also in the same year has me. Have a look at the Earl Marshal Website (http://www.emc82.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/) see if you remember any old faces.

i kind of went between 80 and 84 i say kind of because i was hardly there (illness and plain old wagging) though not being there didnt really hurt me i'm now a DJ/KJ i used to knock around with andrew bromley and neil sutor

(RUSTY)

What no more text?

yes it was, had a look at web site but only recognised one from the photos. do you remember me?

Message for Katkins, if this is CW please contact me! You just tried to contact me through Friends Reunited. Paul F.

As for David Cooper, for all his 'O' and 'A' levels he's a night club manager! Just goes to show education is not everything!

And the Earl Marshal Website is run by me!! Ah!
yes this is cw,did you get my message through friends reunited?

Katkins try emailing me or go to earl marshal website and contact me throught the contact icon (which I have now fixed! oops). Also if you want an entry on the Earl Marshal website, send me a profile and a photo of yourself to put on your page.

Ta very muchly

My sister lisa brooks and her mate vicky sampson were there in the early 80s.:thumbsup:

I went 80-84. Just had a look on the website and recognise a couple of faces but can't put names to em.

I was there 76-81. Personally I had a good time there. Managed to get my "A" levels (admittedly not the grades I needed at the time but life has a way of turning these things around) did load of sports (no chance of that now), and got into music in a big way (thanks Mrs Parish/Gweneth Harris whereever you are). Also, don't forget those school exchange trips to Laragne, France. I went twice and had an absolutely brill time both occasions. Also, there was an active youth club which was handy for me as I only lived across the road :D

Yes, the school had a reputation and it was the cause of a few "rucks" when playing other schools at football, basketball etc.. However, if I remember correctly some of the other schools e.g. Hinde House, Herries had reputations as well.

I got back to Sheffield every so often and its still weird looking at where Owler Lane primary and the old block of Earl Marshal Comp stood now stands this new building. The only thing left is the tree that stood in Owler Lane primary top play area. The kids still transfer from what was Earl Marshal Campus to the new bit (I remember doing the same thing but popping home for a quick snack). The difference is that they now lock the gates after a specified time...

Hi just thought you would like to know I saw Gweneth Harris just after xmas she looked just the same as she did in the 1970's when she taught me, she was at my sister in laws funeral, my sister in law used to work with gweneth in the youth club at Earl Marshal in the early 1980's dont know if you remember her, her name was Tracy Littlewood

Sorry to hear about your sister in law. I remember the name. So am I right to assume that you are also related to Anne? I was in the same year as Anne. Pass on my regards (she may remember me as Juan now pronounced "Waan" rather than "Jewan" - long story... :D ).

Your sister of law would certainly have known Mrs Green who also worked at the Youth Club. I'll mention it to her when I'm next up in Sheffield as she is only a few doors down from my parents.

I'm sorry I missed the party a few years ago just before they bulldozed the site when old youth club members got together. I got to see the pictures and scrapbook as Diane, who was running the youth club at the time lived next door to my parents.

Gweneth provided a few of us the opportunity to work on a business project which, in my case, provided invaluable lessons as I got older.

Hi, just spotted this post. Mrs Harris taught me too. I left in 76.

hi all

I'm new to this forum and i wnat to Earl Marshal in the 90's. Did any1 leave in 96.? I'm trying to track down some friends.

Hi all

I'm new to the forum. so i was wondering did any1 leave Earl Marshal in 96.

No, but I know someone who did.

Hi, I went to earl marshal from 85-89. It had started going downhill at that stage but i do not think it is fair stereotype people, i know people who did very well and have gone on to do extremely well. Finally i KNOW that Firth Park school or Hinde House were no better!!!!
Does anyone remember me???

I left Earl Marshal in 1979 and I've just been back to Sheffield for the first time in 19 years. I went to look at the old school and noticed that Owler Lane school had been knocked down pity they didn't knock down the rest of it down. I can't say that I have any realy good memories from that time as I couldn't wait to leave school. Whilst I was around the area I didn't notice any familiar faces and worst of all the Cannon Hall pub had been knocked down so I couldn't even have a beer.

Hey Langy,

Did you leave at the end of the 5th year in 79? If so, we were in the same year although I stayed on until 81. Who do you remember?

Hi Biscuit;

I left in the 5th year, and I remember you, we were in the same physics class. I used to hang around with Kev Wade, (he was best man at my wedding). Whilst I was in Sheffield I went down Earl Marshal Road a couple of times (I used to live just past the flats at the top end), I've got to say that the area hasn't improved at all. I took my kids around the area just to show them one of the reasons I left.

I went to Earl Marshall up to about 1973 but the memories are a bit foggy - didn't like it much.

Hi Langy,

I remember you. You lived just a bit further down from Lynn Godbehere. It was Mr Hallam's physics class wasn't it? Although over the years I having flying visits to see my mum and dad every so often, this year was the first time in many that I stayed for any length of time. For me it was really good as I just wandered around the old haunts and just taking in the changes, whether it was for the better for worse. And while doing the "wandering" bit I bumped into Darren McKenna, who got me up to speed on a number of others from our year. In fact, there was a bit of a reunion last June (found out about it a couple of days after) and I think they are planning to hold another one at some point.

I went to Earl Marshall up to about 1973 but the memories are a bit foggy - didn't like it much.

Hi vulcaneer

If you left in 73 you may have known my brothers as they left either side of 73 their names were david and Grenville

I do remember someone called Grenville at school - can't recall his surname though. I think he was in my year. We had a school reunion about nine years ago at the Grosvenor Hotel in town but I don't think he was there. It was good to see everyone though.

Grenville went to a reunion at grosvenor hotel in 94 but unfortunatly he died a few months after in 95

Hello Minetiger
I'm sorry to hear of Grenvilles death - He was very young to die. I wish I'd remembered him more clearly at the reunion but it was weird, everyone there seemed to gravitate to their old groups of friends when they were at school and groups that didn't mix at school didn't really mix with eachother on that night. A couple of the old teachers turned up on the night. You may recall one of them, Miss Driver, she still looked the same age as she did at school. It was scary to think she must have only been our age all those years ago when she seemed so ancient.

Hi Vulcaneer

I left also in May 1973.. I was sixteen then..
Mr. Walker was our form teacher and he hasn't changed at all. He came to a school reunion a few years ago..

Who's form was you in and who did you hang around with.

Where abouts did you live?

I am the elsest of 5. I had a 2 brothers and sister go to Earl Marshal

I hope I am not asking not too many questions..

Thanks

I would have been at Firth Park Secondary during the late 80s - early 90s, but my junior school was a feeder for Earl Marshal.

I'm not being nasty for the sake of it, but Earl Marshal school did have a bad reputation in the 90s! I should know...many of my friends went there :D

Glad you mentioned in the 90's,
Firth Park also had a bad rep.
One thing Earl Marshal had in the 80's that I can say was it was one the number 1 school for sports recreation and creating athletes. Big up Mr Baggot.
Also the characters, were legendary.
For the record, not everyone who went to Earl Marshall ended up on drugs or in prison. I run a very successfull agency for high profile djs and artists and also dj round the country nationally. Big up Mr Rose for being open minded and giving me advice during thatcherism. Leaving Earl Marshall in Summer 84 was one of hardest tasks in life and then to find employment was another nightmare which not many people in Sheffield was prepared for let alone students from Earl marshall. Thank you Mr Rose once again

i kind of went between 80 and 84 i say kind of because i was hardly there (illness and plain old wagging) though not being there didnt really hurt me i'm now a DJ/KJ i used to knock around with andrew bromley and neil sutor

Yo KJ
I remember Bromley and Sutor. I was in your year. Think of the coolest black guy and you will probably remember me.:)

Would that be David Cooper by any chance? He was also in the same year has me. Have a look at the Earl Marshal Website (http://www.emc82.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/) see if you remember any old faces.


Which night club does he run, he could sort me out with some work. Us marshall folk need to stick together.

Just wondering if theres anyone out there who went to Earl Marshal school in early-mid 90's.

went to earl marshall 72-76 hated it. most teachers were either useless or bullys. only one's i found ok. mr francis (all tho i had the cane of him) simbo woodwork teacher (all tho i had the cane of him) david walker (all tho he wacked me on the arse with a size 10) and mrs smith my form tutor tried her best with me but too late the others turned me against school and i was a regular truant in the final 18 months. good points- made some good mates who i still see and have a beer with today.

David Walker taught my youngest til recently at Meadowhead School, inbetween his coach driving! Makes me feel ancient. :(

Hi ya bladebloke, I left Owler lane (earl marshall) 1966, mr francis was ancient when I left so god knows what he was like when you were there,its nice to know the tradition of the size 10 slipper was still in use, when i were there Mr hooper (science teacher) used to give the slipper, he used to chalk a cross on your arse to see if he could get the cross on the slipper, he was bloody good at too.

saw david walker in a pub down pitsmoor about 15 years ago. reminded him of wacking me with a slipper and said "nah not me i would'nt do a thing like that" did'nt hold a grudge cos i proberbly deserved it. and knew he was one of the better teachers and also an old friend of my mum and dads.

and as for stan francis bumped into him 2 years after i'd left outside banners attercliffe and actually called him sir.

oh and another one i liked mr flemming very good history teacher.

Reading all this about Earl Marshal brings back a few memories of my daughter Debbie's 'education' - well time in FirVale/Page Hall etc!!!! I didn't find out until years after she left that she played truant most of the time!!! I thought is was only a one off as a friend once saw her in a cafe in Page Hall during school time and told me. I should never have believed Debbie!!

One of the teachers - David Walker - is an excellent coach driver. We travelled onto the continent with him two or three times (via Geoff Littlewood travel in Firth Park). He's a right comedian and made the journeys very enjoyable.

Other teachers recalled are Mr Rose, Mr Caborn, Mrs Smith, Mrs Cheetham. may get some more names when I speak to Debbie

My kids used to go to the Youth Club when Gwen was there, they absolutely loved it and often went to Thornbridge. Also, once a year were taken in the mini bus over to France and Belgium.

I'm not really sure when Debbie left as she was hardly ever there anyway, but it must have been around 86/87.

I remeber going to france with the youth club but i was only little at the time about 6 maybe, my mum was one of the youthworkers when your daughter was there, her name was Tracy Littlewood u will have to ask if she remebers her, i used to think it was great going away with all the big kids, i have some pics somewhere from all the trips, will have to look them out!

Yes those treasured memories coming back. 1980 - 84
Always our football team would come runners up to Hurlfield.
We did however win the Youth club 5 aside Sheffield league and runners up in the yorkshire and humberside finals. So unlucky to go out to dirty Leeds. I am sure they fielded over 16's as they were massive.

The team

Greg Robinson - (keeper) or (right back) (me!!)

Adrian (only know his first name, although played for the Youth club never went to Earl Marshal ? Great player

Phillip Chalmers (midfield dynamo, should have been pro)

Mark Calvin (just like Mike Tyson, considered a top lad of the school even from the 2nd years, great footballer

Danny Ferguson (little guy, big heart)

Carl Allen (phenominal athlete)

Russell Marples (the eminem before eminem, I used call him Jack)

My favourite teachers -
Mr Rose (the realist)
Mr Baggot (Sports teacher / He loved and nurtured gifted athletes)
Mrs Walker (the attractive English teacher)
Miss Lund (the fittest and those legs, guttered when I was not in her class)
Mrs Turner (Because she had no control, we had a good mess around in her art lessons)

My Most Hated teachers -
Mr Thornton (smelliest teacher ever, had a knack for punishing you with pinches to your back leg, when called in front of the class)
Mr Boreham (a living nazi if ever I saw one. ruled and dictacted with strict severe authority)

So many characters, so many memories. It was difficult times back then leaving school. Nobody knew what was expected in Thatchers Britain. God knows how some of us didn't go mental.

I was at earl marshal 78/82 missed last years reunion is there another this year ?

[QUOTE=dj4321;1969774]Never even knew there was a reunion. Is there one this year....[/QUOTE yes photos ect on earl marshal web page

Yes those treasured memories coming back. 1980 - 84
Always our football team would come runners up to Hurlfield.
We did however win the Youth club 5 aside Sheffield league and runners up in the yorkshire and humberside finals. So unlucky to go out to dirty Leeds. I am sure they fielded over 16's as they were massive.

The team

Greg Robinson - (keeper) or (right back) (me!!)

Adrian (only know his first name, although played for the Youth club never went to Earl Marshal ? Great player

Phillip Chalmers (midfield dynamo, should have been pro)

Mark Calvin (just like Mike Tyson, considered a top lad of the school even from the 2nd years, great footballer

Danny Ferguson (little guy, big heart)

Carl Allen (phenominal athlete)

Russell Marples (the eminem before eminem, I used call him Jack)

My favourite teachers -
Mr Rose (the realist)
Mr Baggot (Sports teacher / He loved and nurtured gifted athletes)
Mrs Walker (the attractive English teacher)
Miss Lund (the fittest and those legs, guttered when I was not in her class)
Mrs Turner (Because she had no control, we had a good mess around in her art lessons)

My Most Hated teachers -
Mr Thornton (smelliest teacher ever, had a knack for punishing you with pinches to your back leg, when called in front of the class)
Mr Boreham (a living nazi if ever I saw one. ruled and dictacted with strict severe authority)

So many characters, so many memories. It was difficult times back then leaving school. Nobody knew what was expected in Thatchers Britain. God knows how some of us didn't go mental.thats the best description of Boreham I have ever heard :hihi:

Mr Boreham, definately Hitler in disguise. He was just very feared and ruled the classroom. Only the cockiest kids would mess about in his class. The wrath of Boreham still sends shivers down my spine.

boreham took me for history, he was great if you did yr work,but if not... remember him pinning a lad againt the wall with his throat for messing,its the only lesson where i took notice, wonder why.
dj, think you may have been in my brothers year or year below.

I expect most of them would be in prison or hospital or 6 feet under by now :help: its the area in general now and the people who live there. i went to earl marshal from 70-74 and it was fine.

thats the best description of Boreham I have ever heard :hihi: i remamber him, also mrs cuthbert, mr bullivant, mr walsker, mr boreham, mr dowson, mr francis, mr baggett, mr haigue, etc

Tickle? do you remember him. he remembers pecker and his brother david and michael. i heard about grenville and david? is that true. you used to live near the prefabs at the side of winco hill, behind the works dept. your dad used to shout you in and the roof shook. didnt gren marry a girl who was ME Seniors daughter? i had a beer with him in the firth park hotel years ago when he was on leave from the army. dunno if you remamber another old mate brian roberts, johns brother, he died recently as well. if this is michael i remember seeing you at the rutland hotel when we were going on a thing to start your own business, think you were doing something with videos. good to hear from you all! these are the teachers who i suffered the cane by francis, bullivant, dowson, boreham, walker (slipper) baggat (slipper) they just used to beat us up in them days!!!

Hi
I am not Michael Im his sister Susan.
It is Grenville and Michael that has died Gren in 95 and Mick in 2000. Yes Gren did marry Tracy Senior and unfortunatly she also died xmas 05. Mick & Gren set up a video business together but later went on to set up a double glazing business down in Alton, Hampshire. Mick continued the business after Gren died. I remember the Roberst family as Christine was in my class at school.I also remeber quite well my dad standing on the back door step shouting us all of winco hill.

I left earl marshall in 1976. still see bladebloke now and then. quite a few of earl marshall crew still drink on gower st. anybody remember the geordie pe teacher i think he was called mr walters. tried his best with slipper but nowhere near as thorough as baggott ouch :hihi:

okay thanks for that. gren was an old mate. its sad.

Wow, i can not remember Baggot giving corporal punishment out. He was so encouraging and supportive. If you messed about he would probably make you miss the pe lesson by standing on the sidelines. Boreham, gosh he was the most evil. I remember Bullivant being very swift and handy with the cane also

believe me in my day mr baggot could dish it out, he had a slipper with the sole hanging off which used to give you a double whammy. we asked for it though, we would never bring our pe kit and the punishment was the slipper and then being sent to the library. of cause we never got to library and more often than not ended up in hollywell rd transport cafe

oright rusty how yer keeping.

mr simpson woodwork teacher used to get 2 lads from our group (ian addison billy morecroft) to help him pick his horses out during the lesson then tell us to work quietly as he had to pop out for ten minutes. used to look out of the window and see him going to bookies.

i,m ok mate. don,t know if you remember but billy and addy bought a greyhound together. Don,t know where they got thier dosh i could'nt afford 10 park drives. I used to go to owlerton dogs with them. whtever happened to billy last i heard he lived at darnall when we were kids. the last i heard of addy he was living in longley.

they once kidnapped me and took me to manchester's belle view dogs. had no money on me so they paid me in and bought my ale. was round about 78/79 hav'nt seen billy since. still bump into addy at bramall lane and have a pint with him on london road. he works as a delivery driver sam says he delivers to her work now and again. russell george was their other partner in crime.

did you ever go to billy's, i could'nt believe how he talked to his mam and dad. he used to give them some right abuse. i'm also not sure if he had a snooker table i seem to remember something about that. could do with them now though grand national coming up. do you remember warren oliver, my nephew was talking to his brother and he says warren is now a teacher. he's come a long way from working in harringtons. where did that come from?

Sorry to hear about your sister in law. I remember the name. So am I right to assume that you are also related to Anne? I was in the same year as Anne. Pass on my regards (she may remember me as Juan now pronounced "Waan" rather than "Jewan" - long story... :D ).

Your sister of law would certainly have known Mrs Green who also worked at the Youth Club. I'll mention it to her when I'm next up in Sheffield as she is only a few doors down from my parents.

I'm sorry I missed the party a few years ago just before they bulldozed the site when old youth club members got together. I got to see the pictures and scrapbook as Diane, who was running the youth club at the time lived next door to my parents.

Gweneth provided a few of us the opportunity to work on a business project which, in my case, provided invaluable lessons as I got older.

hi juan, i remember you,i think you may know my sister francine wills? i also loved mrs parrsih and music. she was my fav teacher.

dave kirkland, john roberts, dave mail, mick knowles, eric needham, graham higging (expelled!) tracy fitzagerald, dot gordon, barry renwick, gary atkinson, mick kettle, anyone out there from the class of 1974 or anyone else?

Hi just thought you would like to know I saw Gweneth Harris just after xmas she looked just the same as she did in the 1970's when she taught me, she was at my sister in laws funeral, my sister in law used to work with gweneth in the youth club at Earl Marshal in the early 1980's dont know if you remember her, her name was Tracy Littlewood

Is this the same Tracy who had a cafe in the Wicker for a time in the mid
80's?

I remeber going to france with the youth club but i was only little at the time about 6 maybe, my mum was one of the youthworkers when your daughter was there, her name was Tracy Littlewood u will have to ask if she remebers her, i used to think it was great going away with all the big kids, i have some pics somewhere from all the trips, will have to look them out!

Hi Samandnay

I've tried PMing you but you've less than 10 posts, so can't use PM yet. Yes, we all remember Tracy very well, she was on all the trips that Debbie and Steve did - yes, my son was on them too so you may remember them both! I think she may have gone to Thornbridge too as they often used to go for weekends with the youth club (both my kids loved it there). I can also recall a party (celebrating one of the France/Belgium trips) where they all had such a good time, they stayed over at Gwen's as they were all rather drunk!!! I had to collect my two from the club the following day and they spent the rest of the day in bed recovering :hihi: :hihi: - serves them right!!!

If you can post another message, I can PM you re photos, trips etc

Is this the same Tracy who had a cafe in the Wicker for a time in the mid

Hi Samantha

I used to run a mother and baby club there and your mum gave me a few pointers about childcare. I really liked your mum she was cool and really easy to talk to.

Hi Betty Boob

Hi i went to earl marshall 81-85 i hung around with sandra gordan,eileen lewis etc does anyone know the web address for earl marshall:)

Hi you say you hung around with Sandra Gordon. Was she a black lassie who lived in the Langsett area? Only I hung around with a Sandra Gordon whilst I was in the sixth form in 1984 and was wondering if it was the same one.

Your much to young for me to know you or your brother sorry. The people I'd know would be approaching 50 now if they'll admit to it.

i sure did vulcaneer we watched italy v ireland on tely as well!

My daughter Debbie has just been to visit and she's read the whole of this thread !! She's enjoyed herself and remembers many of the teachers mentioned in the posts.

She started at Earl Marshal in September 81 and left in the summer of 86 - mind you, she wasn't there much in-between those dates (:hihi: - see my other post which I think is the top of page 5).

As far as she can remember, no-one has mentioned the teachers Mr and Mrs Tippet (nee Short) and their daughter Sophie. Does anyone else remember them.

Also, does anyone remember Mr Rose's green camper van!!!! He always parked it on Earl Marshal Road near the (then) new buildings/youth club.

Both her and her brother Steve used to go to the Youth Club and she has been talking about the France/Belgium holidays/Thornbridge weekends, along with Gwen Harris, Tracy Littlewood. Does anyone else remembers being in the stables at Thornbridge and watching Live Aid in 1985? Both my kids were there that weekend.

She has asked me to PM several people who she thinks she might know so I'll be doing that shortly.

I was there 90-94...hated it due to the then headteacher Chris Searle turning it into a shambles by accepting all these ethnic minorities with little or NO english skills and then adjusting the teacher schedules to accomodate these people. Meaning the normal english speaking people, be it english, pakistani, arabic or somali...suffered, due to the lack of attention to those trying to achieve good results. Glad i left before it REALLY went down hill.

i used to wag it all the time in the 5th year & spent most of the time in the star cafe on pagehall rd then i did at school.
come on own up who else waged it & went in the cafe between 1981 -1985

Hi mmitchell
I went earl marshall 81 - 85 and yes we used to also wag it and go to cafe there's not by any chance your nick name at school was Tiny? if it is was u with us when we got frog marched bk to school by the police

Betty Boob yes my nick name was tiny, who are you ???? :confused:

mmitchell i have sent you a pm

Hi Katkins, not logged on for a bit. Yeah, I remember your sister Francine. Say hi from me next time you speak to her.

I was in Tippets class in the 2nd years. (1980-81) Fine teacher. I can't remember Miss Short. I had him for French and I was guttered not doing this as an o level. He wanted me to do this but I foolishly chose not to do this.
I was hooked on Miss Lund, those legs were doing it for me. Also Mrs Walker had that cute curly perm, if I can remember. I would love to see these teachers now. Such great memories.

I was at earl marshall 81- 85 i also remember miss short & mr tippet. Mr tippet i think still works at firth park i saw him one parents evening and he remembered me, he asked how long it was when he last taught me when i told him he said god you make me feel old, i just laughed at him and said that he was going grey but saw the funny side of it though :hihi:

Hi Katkins, I swear that record will always come back to haunt me :).. What did happen to Melanie? I kept up with my music and subjected people with other tracks over the years..lol.

Who is organising the reunion? You will have to let me know the date.

I did the old haunts thing last summer. Totally weird. Walked around the area. Bumped into some old school mates while doing so.. Still cannot get over them knocking down the Owler Brook and the Old Earl Marshal buildings!!!

Those names are bringing back some memories.

Mr Tippet, along with other male staff played 5 a side after school on a weekly basis. Some of us played as well to make the numbers up. Got a bit dirty at times (well it was the only chance you had at getting back at at teacher... in fun only!!).

I remember Miss Lund as she took me for A level Chemistry. She always seemed to wear well fitted outfits...

Other teachers I remember are Mrs Cuthbert, Mrs Firth, Mr Smith, Mr Hallam, Mr Legg and Mr Baggart. There was also the guy who ran the library, cannot remember his name at the mo.

you were probably in my year, i went 78-82,? i didnt find it a bad school, i thought the headteacher mr bullivant was very strict along with math teacher mr thornton ( who iwas terrified of! )and miss driver. i wasnt very brainy but my sister acheived 9 gcse's while there. there was some good teachers, mr blakey, mr stow,mr caborn, and gorgeous mr tanner!wud love to know what became of them all and whats become of the school?is it still there?

Sorry to resurrect this thread, just thought i'd see if anyone remembers any of my family, 3 of my family used to go to Earl Marshall in the 80's I think.

Clare Jordan, Steve Jordan and Caroline Jordan.

Clare is now around 33, Steve is 37 (I think) and Caroline is 40.

Would be great to hear from anyone that knew them as my mum is always looking to get in touch with people she knew!

Snooze, it's all empty now. :)

For the record, just spoken to my mum and she knows a few of the names mentioned on this thread :

She sees Miss Driver a lot in Asda :hihi: She's now in a wheelchair apparently.

She recognises the name Vicky Sampson but cannot put a face to the name.

Mr Tanner was apparently "gorgeous"

Arshad Begum, Jacqui Needham, Terry Taaffe, Lorna Bailey, Stephen Reynolds, Debra Hague, Lisa Poulton, Amanda Staff - knows all these people and Debra was infact her very best friend.

Shocked to hear that Brian Roberts has passed away.

Remembers Mr Tippet, and says he married Mrs Short (makes no sense to me)

Mark Leese lived opposite my mum's home and apparently spent ages staring at their house :hihi:

Mark Mason was apparently a very bad lad.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, just thought i'd see if anyone remembers any of my family, 3 of my family used to go to Earl Marshall in the 80's I think.

Clare Jordan, Steve Jordan and Caroline Jordan.

Clare is now around 33, Steve is 37 (I think) and Caroline is 40.

Would be great to hear from anyone that knew them as my mum is always looking to get in touch with people she knew!

hi kel, i think your mum may have been in the year below me which is why i cant remember her, im 41 tomoz and left school in 82

Mum turned 40 a few months back.

Just wondering if theres anyone out there who went to Earl Marshal school in early-mid 90's.

i left in 96- still miss that place every time i drive by the old site- they shud hv never changed the name, by doin that they erased part of our memories as well

Hi all

I'm new to the forum. so i was wondering did any1 leave Earl Marshal in 96.


thats when i left

you were probably in my year, i went 78-82,? i didnt find it a bad school, i thought the headteacher mr bullivant was very strict along with math teacher mr thornton ( who iwas terrified of! )and miss driver. i wasnt very brainy but my sister acheived 9 gcse's while there. there was some good teachers, mr blakey, mr stow,mr caborn, and gorgeous mr tanner!wud love to know what became of them all and whats become of the school?is it still there?

The school is still there (renamed though) and has been modernised and seems quite good now. I remember all the teachers and agree with your comments apart from Mr Tanner who I guess was a woman thing.

Just wondering if theres anyone out there who went to Earl Marshal school in early-mid 90's.

Gary Clarke left in late 70"s ANYBODY REMEMBER ME????:huh:

gary clarke. well known local pigeon fancier. who was it that got lost on the school trip to padley gorge.

Hi,
I left in 94. I sometimes look at the new building and remember what we had to put up with, the contrast between the campus, science labs and the dining room area...mind you had many good times there!

[QUOTE=kel_89;2518305]


She sees Miss Driver a lot in Asda :hihi: She's now in a wheelchair apparently.

Seeing Miss Drivers name just brought back a memory of he hitting the news headlines back in the early 70's when she came back off holiday somewhere abroad but cant remember where, but she had got some tropical disease and had to go in to quarantine.

Dose any one remember this?

the dinner hall was lovely, so was the other old buildin, they could hav js cleaned it up. you been bk in the buildin since you left?

yes been around the building a few times and on the grounds when the queen visited a few years ago!

that school was fun. i remember 1 day we had an I.T. lesson, walked in the class room to find most pc's were missin- sumbody had nickd 'em the day b4 lol

Those names are bringing back some memories.

Mr Tippet, along with other male staff played 5 a side after school on a weekly basis. Some of us played as well to make the numbers up. Got a bit dirty at times (well it was the only chance you had at getting back at at teacher... in fun only!!).

I remember Miss Lund as she took me for A level Chemistry. She always seemed to wear well fitted outfits...

Other teachers I remember are Mrs Cuthbert, Mrs Firth, Mr Smith, Mr Hallam, Mr Legg and Mr Baggart. There was also the guy who ran the library, cannot remember his name at the mo.

I was there 94 to 99. Mrs Cuthbert and Mr Hallam were both there for year 7 I believe? And I think then left in Year 8? I remember Mr Stow as well. Mr Seale was the headteacher at the time, and I believe he is working down in London now?

Some happy times, although there were some really bad teachers there! The reason why it turned into a bad school wasn't all the kids fault.

we had stupid teachers too. remember mr Wright?

I remember Mr Hallam, Physics teacher

I didn't go to Earl Marshal but my fiance did, his nick name was Block. I used to knock about down Grimesthorpe and go drinking down there, and still do, so I recognise quite a few names. I was just smiling when I saw DJ Venom cos when we're all together talking about the past we often say I wonder what happened to 'Rusty'

Well apart from still having my youthful good looks :hihi: you wouldnt recognise the old shy, insecure Rusty. Why not nip down to one of my shows, come say hi, i don't bite ;)

hi just registered reading forum noticed a few names that rang a bell espically the teachers mr walker bulliviant, francis,ledger, caborn, left in 78 also gary the pigeon boy

also martyn wilkes,steven clarke,brian nortcliffe dean langley micheal hommer

Hi,

Been reading this thread with great interest. I too went to Earl Marshal. I was there from 1977 to 1981. Great days!

Some of the posters on this thread I do remember. I certainly know Biscuit!

Since I have left, I have seen many changes in the school. They have knocked it (& Owler Brook) down and built Firvale school. Earl Marshal had a bad rep in the 90s but Firvale school is on the up. I'm now a science teacher but did my teaching practice at Firvale. Very enjoyable. I learnt alot.

There were some great teachers at Earl Marshal. I was in Mr Wragg's, Mr Baggott's and Mr Thompson's forms duriing my time. Does anyone remember Mr Bancroft? I think he had the nickname of "Raffles". Also Mr Boron, the strict sergeant Major type, boy he could shout!

Dean of Disco

are you biscuits brother by any chance. top sportsman was biscuit IIRC

are you biscuits brother by any chance. top sportsman was biscuit IIRC

Hi,

Yes, I'm his younger brother (by two and a bit years).

Yes he was very good at sport, he helped to put the school on the map. I think he was South Yorkshire Champion at 100 metres. He got to the grand final of the English schools championships. I think he came 6th. Sixth best in the country, not bad.

Dean of disco

Just put up the 2006 class of '82 video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdcq8-HRNhQ) school reunion on You Tube if anyone is interested. See if you can spot anyone you know.

Hi Mikey10
elaine kirk, susan beeman, sharon murdoch, pam suttle, christine holland, judith innocent, susan dickinson, martin foster, paul whittaker(dillon), sharon sharp, fay francis, sharon harrison, glynis kerkhoff, micheal tomkinson - snap! must be the same year

Heck, now there's a blast from the past. I left '74 ish Think you can add me to that list mate :hihi:

I was just reading about Mr Baggot being heavy with the slipper. Nah! remember his 'office' in the changing rooms?
if you 'forgot' your kit, he'd invite you in and say "When I hit this slipper on the desk, Yell !" If you didn't, he grab
your shoulder, and squeeze it until you did ;) Used to chuffin make me run around Concord Park in blizzards.

Had Mr. Hooper for Chemistry. Mr Hooper retired early when he discovered was dying of cancer. I remember being invited to his & wife's place at Foxhill - with a few others to break us the news. Sad time.

Graham Higgins (expelled) - Lol ! I remember Higgie's reputation. Came across some faded graffiti saying 'Higgs' on a wall not long back. Had to smile. Used to be on every bus stop in S4/S5. He was a seriously good guy, despite some negative rep he used to get.

i went to earlmarshall in early 90 about 91/92 ish i went for just half of the first year i hated it. we were in the porta cabins.i went to whiteways before that i loved it there, it was when two years left at the same time, sarah harrison was either a year or two years above me, i cant remember many names although most of the friends i had move with me from whiteways,

hiya Dean...i hope you can remember me....my name was Tracey Monaghan my best friends were Susan Stinson and Tracy Jackson....Maxine Nelson....oh we had a lovely time...would love to hear how you are ...

Did Roy Cooper used to live on Popple st? I'm sure I was on the same painting and decorating course as him years ago. We quite often see Dean & Robert Bowering in Ball & Arms at the weekend.

I see Roy now and then delivering items of plant to worksites his sister was kay and then MINI the famous school dinner lady was his mum:thumbsup:

hi Rob...just been to see my dad and he sends his regards and hopes you are well,hes says dont forget to keep in touch and next time you are in Sheffield come and see us...take care..

I left about the same time - just reached the half-century mark - and Mr. Walker was my form teacher. Lots of bad comments about EM, but I always like it when I run into old school pals.

Try Mr Bishop. He was one of the teachers that accompanied us on an exchange trip to Laragne, France (cannot remember whether it was the 1st or 2nd trip). My mind is not as it used to be.

You're right, Mr. Bishop did run the library. Very quiet bloke if I remember rightly, unlike some of the other teachers.

I see Roy now and then delivering items of plant to worksites his sister was kay and then MINI the famous school dinner lady was his mum:thumbsup:

Cheers for that but I still don't know if it's the same Roy I know. You'll have to ask him for me next time you see him. I'm sure he'll remember me cos there was only me and my friend that were female on the training course.

Was then know as Pick (Pickie) Mr Bullivant was headmaster, Mr dawson asst HM and had a Biology teacher by the name of Mr Hooper who I believe died from cancer. Spent 24 years as a Royal Marines Helo Pilot and now living in Gatwick. Still have fond memories of old though. Dave

i remember mr bullivant, he was our headteacher until mr searle took over. great place

i was at earl marshal when mr searle took over :hihi:

hi! im a newbie to this site . was at earl marshall till '89. be nice to hear from anyone there round same time :)

Hi guys, I was there from 1977-1981. How weird it is to see people's names from the past, the Brissetts, Tracy Monaghan (your boyfriend beat me up once!), the teachers etc. Not sure if anybody remembers me. I was always hanging around with Azar Hussain, plus played in the football team with Robert Chalmers, Chris Campbell, Darren Goddard, Brian Whyte, Richard Wilkinson, Delroy Spence, Nasser Hussain etc (whatever happened to them). I moved to London in 88, just spent a year and a half in South Africa but have now moved back to Sheffield. Was madly in love with Miss Crow, who can forget Mrs Morgan. I beat Mr Thornton at badminton once, he wasn't impressed.

hi everybody, another newbie here, i was there between 70-75,its right what they say, best years of our lives.

i remember all those names even though i was a couple of years older

Heylo!

I was a pupil @ Earl Marshal between 1986-1990, as was my brother! he was three years older than me. I browsed this thread and was amused by some of the negativity about Earl Marshal School. My experience of Earl Marshal remains of the positive influences of my life (no, I'm not a sad 30-something now lol & reminiscing my school days) I'm actually a teaching professional, who, without the teachers of Earl Marshal wouldn't be what and who I am today.

Here's my favourites from my time at Earl Marshal :
Mr Peter Hallam (subject physics, this man combined physics with psychology, gardening, parenting, his time in Chelsea as a student etc etc). Whilst many people saw Mr Hallam as a tefal head, for me he was the ultimate classic ole-skool teacher. Don't know where he is now but, respect to you Mr Hallam. I won't forget your teaching methods coupled with your tremendous amount of knowledge, over and above your subject. You gave me the interest to learn more, and more and more. The man was a genius of a teacher, HI5 Mr Hallam, you the man!
Mr Peter Tippet - The man was a Bristol Rovers supporter! gave enthusiasm to learn GCSE French like no-one. He said in my 5th form report 'if you get less than a 'A' I'll be disappointed. I didn't disappoint him!. I Remember his wife Jan, daughters Sophie and Claire, later on a little boy too (but after I'd left Earl Marshal) We supported Mr and Mrs Tippett with Sophie. So many little facts I recall, he was an Aquarian! a very good teacher, lovely family man too. We were all involved in raising money for Sophie to get treatment from Finland. Remember seeing Mr and Mrs Tippett on Calendar. If my mind recalls correctly, Sophie should be 23 years old now. (Mr Tippett is now 52) !!
Ms. Nicole Stone - History teacher (feminist) lol! boy she was a tough lady, and lovely at heart! Recall her telling us about her West Indian roots. (ERR she was white) When I returned to visit her, she'd become a mother to a boy. He must be 17/18 or thereabouts.
Mrs Cuthbert - A true lady, graceful, pleasant and delightful. She taught me French in the 3rd year, and how to be ladylike. Respect to you Mrs Cuthbert, they don't make 'em like you no more :( She also knew when to put her foot down, great disciplinary skills, but not nasty. Always dignified.
Can remember others too, Mr Paul Howard (he's deputy head @ Parkwood High) Mr Storey(urgh) Mr Baggett(never had a problem with him) Mr Boreham read in the thread somewhere he was 'Hitler' (shock horror) the man was a soft, gentle man who used to teach community studies, history and geography, he was always cool with me :D Mrs Sears (PE teacher) everyone called her 'lesbian' lol. No further comments on this one lmao haha!
Mr Bullivant, most people didn't like him, I thought he was a cool dude. He wrote to me when I turned 21(when I left he promised me that he'd write to follow my progress after five years) dead now isn't he? anyone?. Also passed away are Mr Caborn (science teacher) Mr Burgin (PE) Mr Coupe (deputy head for a short while in late 80's, if anyone remembers him).
Who else can I remember hmm how about Mr Bartlett (everyone called him EMU as he resembled Rod Hull) Mr & Mrs Pickles (nee Mrs Grant) both English teachers. She was a lovely lady:) he was a good bloke too.
The jokers in the pack were people like Mr Blackburn and Mr King (both Mathematics teachers) Mr King seemed to be in a constant stupor (ahem the man liked a drink) and Mr Blackburn was the epitome of nerd Maths teacher, nice teacher but lacked charisma. Mr Thornton was another one, boring ole codger, think he left or was on his way out when I joined the school.
Mr Read (technology teacher) he married Mrs Laverick (anyone remember her) she was the Art teacher. He was my form tutor in 3rd year, used to make me cringe at times lol with his half straight and half permed hair. Man thought he was a bit of a stud, eww. Anyway moving on lol..


How do I know so much about my teachers from Earl Marshal, because they looked after me, and looked out for me and my brother. They ensured I was a chip off my brothers block, he was admired and revered by the teachers, pupils and youth club staff. He was a very responsible pupil.

However, I, was the more academic one ;)

Wonder if anyone from my time at the school or from my year lingers this forum. People in my year were Michelle Ping, Rita Moore, Dean Topham, Dean Bethall, Samantha Irving, Leanne Bowne, Saeed Khan, Ijaz Baig, Leesa Hattersly, Zoe Warren, Hermine Stewart, Dawn Flynn, Mark Calvert, Man my memory isn't what it used to be let me see who else was in my year ... Diane Hameed, Furzana Khan, plus many others whom all of a sudden I cannot put a name to lol .. come out, come out people....

I left school in 1994 lol and to be honest I don't remember much apart a Mr Searle whom if I do remember died of a heart attack?
Mr Khan who was a little wee thing and erm can't recall what my technology teacher was called but I do believe he put the fear of God in us all.

That wasn't Mr Seale who died of a heart attack, it was his deputy....can't remember his name though but he wore fancy ties and we used to call him the angel of death.... felt guilty when he died lol

The technology teacher was probably Mr Finbow...I think he was ex Army and an ex boxer?

Mr Khan and his flute ... the guy who used to make kids watch Bollywood films with no subtitles in RE lol and they wonder why we all turned out warped!!!

Hey, speak for yourself I'm not warped lol.

Mr Finbow indeed wow what a lovely guy :|

I just remember sitting in the back row and flicking pellets at Mr Khan's erm' a*s lol, he seemd to look straight at us knowingly but I think the fact we got detention actually meant he knew it was us :D the good ol' days

believe me in my day mr baggot could dish it out, he had a slipper with the sole hanging off which used to give you a double whammy. we asked for it though, we would never bring our pe kit and the punishment was the slipper and then being sent to the library. of cause we never got to library and more often than not ended up in hollywell rd transport cafe

Hello Rustybum!There was about four of us that used that transport cafe since Tony's cafe was a hot spot to get sent back to school.I left in '76 so i wonder who you are???

Thinking on,mr Baggot was the only one that gave me the stick for not taking my PE kit.No wonder i ended up a 'salad dodger'!

It was Mr Coupe that passed away. He had a service on Abbeydale Rd.

Chris Searle is still around. I spoke to him just a few months ago. He's done a new book on jazz and resistance recently:

He also writes a jazz column in a paper:

I think i should also know Shelby46.

that school was fun. i remember 1 day we had an I.T. lesson, walked in the class room to find most pc's were missin- sumbody had nickd 'em the day b4 lol

ha ha ha i can remember that aswell know who did it lol them were the days

i remember sarah harrison was one of my friends in the year above i think, i started earlmarshal in 92 left in 96. who's class was u in?

i went there in 92 -96 can anyone remember Mr Hurman with the bold head wot an arse he was and Mr Baggott was he the english teacher that looked like Rod Hull? not many teachers that i liked at that school Mr Rose and Mrs Casey were my favourates. can anyone remember the art teacher Mr Gray that was suppose to be the "undercover" police officer that was sent to school to try and find out who the drug dealers were.

all in all i had some good times in that school but the laid back attitude of mr Serle an a few others resulted in the school goin down hill and it getting a bad reputation, i think that if the head and teachers would have stuck together and listened then it would have been a good school.

I was there around that periood... It was Mr Herman, who was the Technology teacher... Remember a cartioon etched on the front of his classroom and taunts of "Herman the German".

Chris Searle, Derek Rose were top blokes, who I have spoken to since I have left and spoke to Chris this time last year. You should learn more about Chris and his history in education. He has also had good standing in the communities and areas he has worked and your comments of "laid back" are a little off the cuff!

i know he has a good history in education not pullin him down at all as he got me out ov a few sticky situations when i was there, if it wasn't for him i wouldn't be where i am now! he did do alot for the school but could have stopped alot of the "school strikes" that happened before they started.

ha ha herman the german forgot all about that nick name should have remembered that he was my for tutor lol
