Look on a website calledhttp www.friendsreunited.co.uk...if you search this site you'll find the school site.

Thanks for your help.....I still could do wi more info on the teachers of that time....doesn't seem to be much around!

What do you want to know about Colley School for if you didnt go??

Just something I'm looking into.........we all have our reasons ;)

I left Colley in 1964 and remember having Mr Mason as form teacher. He was the gardening teacher. Then there was Miss Salvita (english) a lovely woman. Mr Birch, Headteacher, Mr Shaw, deputy head,(a terrible man). Miss Cooper who did crafts,"a hot bit of stuff in those days". I believe I remember a Mr bell who was the library teacher.

Ollerenshaw, Holding, Brightmore, Tindall, Burgin, Mellor.

Doing the maths,

*counts on fingers*

Your dad would have been at Colley from the age of 11-16 (generally speaking) which would reckon up to 1972(ish) to 1977(ish)

So there's *some* overlap of the dates.

Does anyone remember Mr Bell?

I started at Colley in January, 1951. The first ' A ' Stream to go through the School.
Mr Harry Birch was the Head Teacher and Mr Ken Tompson our form teacher.
The School was composed of Twelve classrooms each leading off a corridor which went the length of the school building. A reception hall between room 6 and 7. served as the assembly hall and this was also the front entrance which was down a short path from Remmington Avenue. The school caretaker lived at the top house on the left on the Avenue at its junction with Remington Road

Mr Birch had his office in no 7 storeroom to where I, along with other class members, were often dispatched to, returning back to our classroom with the marks of either four or six strokes of his stick!! On occasion's, along with one or two others we would be paraded out in front of the entire school assembly, which had been gathered in the reception hall and prior to receiving either four or six strokes of the stick, Mr Birch would announce to all that they looking at a future bunch of ' Criminals and Vagabonds '.
I met him many years later and we had a real good laugh about that.

This all changed at Easter, Whitsunday or after the long August break, when Joe Mellor arrived, He brought with him a strap with tassels, I got it once and that solved my problem, as it did everyone else's in turn.

The first years ' A ' Stream did not have a prefect, they all came from the ' B ' stream. Jim Toulson, ( Lived on Rokerby ?) Brian Heald ( Lived on Colley Road ) and another big lad. We use to say to ourselves when they weren't within ear shot,' Strong in the arm, Weak in the head '!!

When I started, the school did not have a playground but just piles of earth that had been tipped from lorries. At the front of the school (Remington Avenue) pupils' laid out the gardens, the boys would spend as much time as possible digging the bit outside classroom 2. That was because it was the room where the girls did Keep Fit exercises!! The P.T.Teacher was extremely attractive though I can't remember her name.
(To be honest we weren't bothered about names!!)

In the middle of the school grounds a pond existed, this was drained and filled in, the drainage pipe going off under Wordsworth Ave near where the Working mans club is now.

I started a School Fishing Club and a Hiking Club. The Fishing clubs first outing was to the ponds at Ford, near Ridgeway and the hiking clubs first walk was from Lodgemoor, Redmires, Stanage, Hathersage railway station, back through Totley Tunnel and home.

The Fishing Club failed, basically because no one could afford a fishing licence!!.
The Hiking Club was taken over by Miss Marsh (or Mills) and Ken Thompson who certainly developed it into a very active out-door activity for the pupils at Colley to benefit from in years that came.

One outing. which only the pupils knew about, was a evening trip to the lyceum.
The entire ' A ' Stream of the class which was Ken Thompson taught went to the theatre to see a play put on by the Teachers Operatic Society which we had read about in the ' The Star ' newspaper all sitting on the front row in the top balcony.
Aptly named,' The Gods '.

When Ken Tompson made his sudden appearance, all of my 45 or 46 class mates stood up and shouted,' Good old Ken '. He promptly forgot his lines and the entire theatre rose up and cheered like mad. It took at least quarter of a hour for all to settle down. The theatre that night was like a mad house even those behind the scenes came out to see what had happened!!.

If any of the cast members spoke about this to their families or heard of this, I'd like to know what they thought of it.

At school I was always top at Maths and bottom at English. (Has can be noticed)
My last results:- Maths 98%. Distinctions in (over 75%) Science, Tech Drawing, Geography, History. (Then the bottom fell out!) English Comprehension 20%, Spelling 14%. I can still see the English teacher, Mrs Bucannon's face when that was announced.

Before I went to Colley, I often played truant. I'd meet another lad doing the same and we would go to the Castle Gate Fish Market. Collect the used wooden boxes, chop them up into sticks, make bundles of them, load them onto a old pram and go around Edward Street, Moorfields and Snig Hill Flats selling them. Afterword's I'd catch the 110 or 49 bus home at Bridge Street, joining those who had attended Burgoyne Road School on the way.

My mother thought that I'd been to Burgoyne Road School until one day I arrived home and unbeknown to me, the School Inspector had called to see her. After I had received her corrective therapy, which involved half killing me, I realised that, that was the end of my stick business enterprise and I was required to go to school.

After I started on 3 January 1951 at Colley Sec Modern. I cannot remember being off for one day, all the time that I was there. I left the,' 4A ' Stream in December 1953 to start my apprenticeship at Brightside Foundry and Engineering, Eccelsfield. in January 1954.

If anyone reading this belonged to especially my class. Please join in.
I was also Conservative Party Leader at Colley School with Diana Frost being my Under Secretary of State.
I choose her because she could write my speeches without any spelling mistakes.
(I fancied her also!!).
Names of teachers that I remember at the start:
Mr H Birch (Headmaster) Mr Ibbotson. Mr Tompson. Mr Wright. Mrs Vaurgan?. Miss Mills. ( The rest to follow).

Hi, have just come across this site, it certainly stirs the memory. I left Colley in '66. The teachers names mentioned in other threads ring a bell. From memory in the long corridor 12 rooms I think, room 1 Mr. Mason (gardening); 2 Mr. Holding (English); 3 Mr. Barnes (French) - now living in France I wish I'd paid more attention; 4 can't remember; 5 Mr. Brightmore (maths); 6 Mr. Burgin (maths); 6A Mr. Ollerenshaw (RE); 7 Mrs Moore (history); 8 Mr Mellor (geography); 9 & 10 can't remember; 11 Mrs Piper (music); 12 typyist training.
Plus:- Lab A - Mr. Gibbs; Lab B - Mr Ollerenshaw; Art (in the three block) Miss Cooper; woodwork - Mr. Crowe; metalwork - Mr. Schofield:
Head - Mr. Birch; deputy - Mr. Shaw; as I recall our pe teachers changed just about every year, first Mr Copley, next two I can't remember finishing with Mr. Seymour - I think.
One of the two pe teachers I can't remember instigated a camping trip to Barmouth, '63 I think (boys only); followed in '64 by a mixed trip to same place. Fellow pupils of the time were Colin Gregory, Chris Holroyd, Chris Holton, Tony Reith, Dave Hutchinson, Hazel Marsden, John Foster, Joy Nichols, Rodney Bailey, Stewart Saxton, Barbara Bell et al. The mist of time cloud the memory banks.

Mr Wright .....The library
Mr Umbeely....Mobile building across the yard.
Mr Howe........Woodwork (near the changing rooms)
Mr Evans.......Top floor on 3 story block.

When the school first opened the teachers were instrumental in choosing the Houses.
All the houses were named after famous Yorkshire men Delius the Composer (even though his father was German )Wilfred Rhodes the Cricketer William Wilberforce who helped abolish slavery and Sir Martin Frobisher the explorer and navigator

Mr Ibbotson the music teacher was the house master of Delius.
Mr Shaw the house master of Rhodes was an avid cricket fan.

what year you go to colley

what year you go to colley81 to 85........

Hi to everyone,
My Brother in law has put me onto this site whilst staying with them in Tasmania.
I left Southey Green school along with Mr Birch to start at Colley School the first day it opened, I thought it was called Remington Road then.
My parents had moved us to live on Colley Road.
Mr Birch was always a stickler even at Southey Green, and when he started at Colley he used to stand at the doorway as we walked in of a morning to inspect our shoes to make sure we had polished them, if not he pulled you out and made you stand there until all the rest of the school had walked past and saw your dirty shoes.
I remember him setting a competition to design the badges for the House signs that they were trying to start up; I think I ended up in Delius. I seem to remember my mate Bob Smith having his designs come out favorite. He later went onto become a Commercial Artist.
I also remember the teacher (I think he had an American accent) setting us a test to draw some designs for tidying the garden area (building site!!)at the front of the school.
Later I left and went back to Southey Green when My parents decided to make another move.
I think this would be something like 1950.
