Does anyone remember Mr Jordan Who taught at Silverdale.

He taught me for a couple of years - technology in that horrible dark room at the back of the tech block. Think I mustered up a fuse tester and a keyring under his supervision. There wasn't one fuse tester in the class that worked - we were all too busy making jewellrey out of solder.

I also made a fuse tester in Mr Jordan's class which my Dad promptly threw away! Have to say that Mr Wainwright was much more memorable and much more of a charater...

Can anybody top Pinhead as form tutor???

Good old Pinhead and that little red biscuit tin she had - someone put it on bricks once!!

Used to be in Mr Wainwright's form - there was always a Monday discussion on Wednesday's performance - you had to like footie if you were in his form!

I used to go to Silverdale but it was that long ago I cannot remember any teachers names.

I remember t'old Derek!!
after teaching metalwork, he decided to take up trying to reform us dropouts in C10, the old detention room!!
We all swore down he was having an affair with bulldog bullidon!!!
Then Mrs Gregory who had the bright yellow mini to match her hair!!!
Mr Winfield was my form tutor in the art block!!
AHHHH the good old days..............NOT!!!!

Mr Jordan is dead now, heart attack I think.
Mr Law, the Music teacher died as well, yup, cancer got him no surprise!

Mr Pape & Mr Cousins PE teachers

Some other teachers rom the late 50s early 60s were Benny Hill Science, George Biggin Headmaster, Mr Horn, Norman firth and Vince Egan.

I was in Mr Jordans form sad to hear he has pssed on he was a decent bloke (we always suspected he enjoyed a quick beer or 2 in the Hammer at lunchtime.:)

Ah, the good ol' days at school...

Mr Welsh (Geography) was in B5 ... my form teacher for GCSE years (86-88).
There was another Geography teacher, Ms Waterfall (good names for Geography teachers!), though can't remember which room she was in.

Mr Sanderson was head the year I started (1983), but retired after only a couple of years, to be replaced by Mr Smith, who was one of the deputy heads at the time. Seemed much friendlier when he was a deputy, but could still had a laugh with him as headmaster, especially when he told a group of my friends to find out a certain pub in London that was apparently 'very interesting' (called something like the Admiral Nelson). After spending ages trying to find it, and even asking a policeman for directions, they found it, only to be rather disappointed that it wasn't anything special... but full of men.
When returning after said school trip, they asked Mr Smith what was so interesting about the pub, and he ****** himself when he told them it was an famous gay pub! He couldn't believe they'd actually gone there.

Mr Upton (Chemistry) was one of the deputy heads, and seemed like a top bloke too. There was another Chemistry teacher who I had for A-Level, but for the life of me can't remember his name, odd because he had a very unusual first name - someone else may remember?

Mr Little was a new teacher I think, (who started around 1986-7?), who was one of the other deputy heads, then there was another new (female) teacher who started at the same time and was the other deputy, but can't remember her name.

Another English teacher, bit of a dragon, was head of 6th Form - but can't remember her name either!

Oh, and who remembers Mr Chisnell - the hippy? Was my form teacher for my first year, based in C9 iirc. Was big-haired and beardy, and in a band called something like the Dead Hedgehogs. He must have left after that year, as I don't remember seeing him after that.

i was at s'dale untill 1961 any one remember me Michael wright

Does anyone know Marion O'Connor from Silverdale circa 1967-1972? Would like to get in touch with her.
Mr Tocher Geography teacher - huge bloke who threatened to throw kids out of the window if they misbehaved - his classroom was on the first floor! Miss Nicholson who taught domestic science - sweet lady. Evil maths mistress who used to threaten boys with her stiletto heels!

Some other teachers rom the late 50s early 60s were Benny Hill Science, George Biggin Headmaster, Mr Horn, Norman firth and Vince Egan.
