Ecclesfield 1990-95.. Still in contact with a lot of people from school although the majority are basically Married with 2.4 children :suspect:

I went to Brook on Richmond Road, now an "Exciting new development of 2 and 3 bedroom town houses".

westfield for my sins!

pipworth road nursery, infants and middle school till 1992 we were the last proper 4th year of middle school before it changed to secondry schools started at yr7 rather than 8,then over to silverdale for a bit of posh schooling away from the scallies of the manor left silverdale in 1996 to castle college to do a levels

1975-1977 - Nether Green 1st
1977-1981 - Nether Green Middle
1981-1983 - King Edward Lower
1983-1985 - COLDITZ (aka King Edward Upper)

All in all, and with that wonderful benefit of hindsight, I enjoyed school. Infact, sometimes I wish I was still there, but with the PC brigade of today I probably wouldn't fit in....

well if we are being as detailed as that - Birley, Sheffield high school for girls, westfield, sheffield college, sheffield hallam, and sheffield college again (cos i love it soo much)

Exactly mate, and that's why it would never happen.

And even if it did, it would probably be seperate changing rooms for PE etc so it wouldn't be anything to get your hopes up for.

i'm went to kes and i'm still at kes...its fun AND boring at the same time:) and i was in the old lower kes(year 7) before it was demolished, and i was in the new kes(year8 & 9) and then i'm now at upper kes(year 10 and onwards) so far i'm in year 11 and i still have my mock and my gcse's to do:(

Wybourn Infants 1964-1967
Wybourn Juniors 1967-1969

Strangest thing is sometimes i can still remember the taste of the Shepherds Pie from Wybourn Juniors all those years ago every time i eat something similar. Never worked with anything else, cannot 'remember' the taste of any other food if that makes any sense.
Wonder who the cook was?
Happy days!

I agree with Ronin. Everyone used to slag off school dinners but for i one loved them. I can still taste the cheese croquets to this day and if anyone knows of somewhere that sells them please TELL ME!!!!!.:)

Hinde house school and man, was it ****. I left early and never looked back, just studied myself and done alright so far. It was like a damn battlefield, fighting every day to just get through the day. I look back it now, man was I lukcy to leave early.

It started going downhill in 1988 when the Council killed its sixth form.

I am currently at Bradfield School in Worrall. Am in last year though. If anyone goes to or has been there, PM me!

I was at Greenlands until 1984 (part of which got set on fire by one of the support staff, apparently!); Waltheof until 1988 (which was later famously torched); and then Stradbroke College (at the old Richmond College/Brook School sites, which were vandalished and then demolished...)

Still makes me shudder to think of a teacher at Greenlands called (I think) Mr Albaya - a really large guy, with the longest finger nails, that he would stick in your neck for no reason! Like a human version of Wolverine...

I went to hurlfield school from 73-77 when mr houdmont was deputy head, and mr turton anyone remember them.

Ditto for me as well.

Was in the year above James Toseland, the superbike rider and also Lucy Oldfield who appeared as Miss September last year in the Playboy Magazine.

It's wiered because apparently she went to the same junior school as me (Todwick J&I) but I just can't picture her face. Her name does sound familiar though. So when did you leave then? Would you have been there whilst I was there? Was that guy the one who had a massive painting of himself in the dining hall?

I went to Gleadless valley left in 1994 and then moved to Newfield and left in 1998 - gleadless valley was a far much better school - they should have never knocked it down, Newfield was ok too - just abit rougher!

Nevermind!

Origionally I'm from Sheffield. I went to Penistone Grammar School. Moved back to Sheffield approx. 1989.

I was a part time student at best :o But when I was there I was at Sharrow Lane Juniors and then Jordanthorpe Comp which changed to Meadowhead while I was there. Left in 1990 I have many 'fond' memorys of marching miles between South and North buildings.

i came from australia went to parkwood in 97.. yay!!

I went to HighGreen Sec Mod 1960 to 64. Hated 90% of the time due to one sadistic member of staff. Anyone who went there will know who i mean.

AND THE SMALL BABY TOILETS! LOL

2cnd copy

Have mentioned this elsewhere in the forum, but still have not seen my school mentioned: Hadfield House Lane Sec Mod.
I left there in 1960.
First school was Beck Road Juniors (Shiregreen) which has been mentioned by someone else earlier in the topic.

LOVED school as I am a hog for knowledge (still) and realised that sooner or later I would be out spending time doing work that I might not enjoy, simply to get money and that this free, (to me) access to information was therefore not going to last. `Make hay` etc.

Had a couple of `interesting`, teachers - like `Killer` Willock, an ex javelin thrower, with a short fuse and a love of using his knuckle to hammer one in the temple with it in cadence with the list of errors you had committed.. and a manner of speech that included `blessed`. ie " I`ll throw you through the blessed window you blessed worm". He had a V shaped scar in the centre of his forhead that turned red(ish) with anger so you had warning.
He had a fist fight finally with a quiet spoken, biggish classmate called Furness ( details available if encouraged generously???) and was gone by the next day. Heard later that he was teaching invisible people in a rubber room.

Music teacher had no chance; Mr Jessop was the victims name. Had to suffer an hour of smuggled in alarm clocks; footy ratchets; bike bells and horns etc etc which were passed around through his futile searches. Best class of the week, but not for him, poor bloke. Where I learned about group dynamics and anarchy. I believe they sent him to Hinde House in 58 or 59, as woosies were more his style. (writer grins boyishly)

Miss Meehan, English star teacher; Mr Jennings, Geography; 'Reich', Marshall was in charge of 'Early Introduction to Fascism, Mind Control and the Joys of Creating Pain in Defenseless Smaller People', believe he had 5 types of cane.

BTW. Sheffeld seems to have accumulated property in the 38 years since I left.. Isle of Wight..Cumbria..talk about encroachment.. ;)D

Still miss the place...but now I hear Blair has given you 1984!!
The I.D. card and retina scans...oh dear me!

I went to Bankwood!!!! I left in 1976 though. I loved it there. My son left there 3 years ago and had one of my teachers, Mr Tate! He was on a quiz show on TV once, Sale of the Century it was. :loopy:

I went to King Edward V11 upper and lower schools. Haven't read all posts cos its late and I'm tired so don't know if there are any fellow King Teds out there - hello if there is. I was there when Mr Towers and Mr North were around at Upper school and Mr Sharrock was the Headmaster!

Beck Rd school 1969-77
Firthpark/Brushes 77-84
Miss Meehan was still there in full force as were many of the 'old school' teachers
Mr Piley Geography was my favourite
My daughter starts in September SCAREY
Some of the same teachers are still there minus hair and yes the women teachers are looking a bit thin on top too .

My mum and uncle went to Beck too.

The557 -maybe you know them age I think is about right?

I went to Yew Lane ( now Yewlands) from 1957 t0 1962.
Anyone out there who was there in that same period?..

Can I put a submission for the"Grey and glasses"section?I was at Stand House from 1935 until 1937 then Springfield from 1937 until 1944,leaving at 14,left school on the Friday and started work on the following Monday morning.
Lets hear it for the Old Fogeys AHHHHHHHH!

Hi jayjay,

Just working out the numbers and it seems I could have been at Beck around the same time as your rels.
I can smell the aroma of the corridors even now!! (don`t ask me how?) thought it was a lovely smell then and still do.

Is Hadfield(Hatfield??) still of the same name or is that the Firthpark/Brushes to which you refer??

AHA! Headmaster at Hadfield was Mr Postlethwaite, who was a good man and a second one who`s name I have forgotten unfortunately, was also of the `old school`.

I was told a few years ago (via snailmail) that Miss Meehan had gone to live in County Cork, but exact address unknown.

If you can remember the doctors surgery, almost at the corner of Bellhouse and Beck that was owned by Dr Hudson (with two daughters, Penny and Judy) also had a Dr Rapinet as a locum I think...I used to live 3 doors down towards Beck. Neighbours were Mrs Cook, the Rhodes, and Kershaws. No: 1 Beck was Billy Smith I think. Memory is very foggy but there is still hope!!

I have had a look at Beck and Bellhouse and area via Multimap UK, which is on the net and free to use to a degree(or was). Find the place of interest and zoom in then click on the `photo button to see a pretty good aerial `photo of the place.

After Midnight here so will shut up soon for zzzzzeds. 3.30pm your time right?

Thanks for your response jayjay

I went to Shirecliff, Convent school, then St Patricks.

I was at King Edward VII school between 1977 and 1981.

I went to Wybourn left in 1968 , i do remember Mr Lancaster( bomber) if he was teaching at Wybourn all those years he must have been a glutton for punishment, he even turned up at the school reunion up stairs of the silver blades about 10-15 years after i left.
If you look on the Wybourn web site you'll see a reunion in summer, only trouble is i dont think there's a bar on, but it says there is a lunch( that means dinner ) laid on, it may be interesting as i hav'nt had chicklin & bag , cow heel,pigs trotters or tripe & onions for a long time,

I went to Rowlinson by far the better school than what was then jordanthorpe. Yet they turned rowlinson into a college and kept the very run down jordanthorpe open. Two of my children now attend Meadowhead (jordanhtope) it is still as run down as ever and full to capacity.
As i said earlier i went to Wybourn School.
Then i went to Samonpastures Collage on Attercliffe ( anyone remember Samonpastures ) and got expelled "sorry i was asked very firmly to leave" it seems in the grownup world collage is not a continuation of school, so then i went to Rowlinson Collage for elecronics and i was a good boy and did the coarse, i knew every thing there was to know about valve driven Hi Fi's, Radios & TVs, then some bugger invented the silicon chip, and that ended my education.

First school was Norfolk nursery (1968 ) & then 2 years in Infants ... left in 1971 when we moved house.... then Gleadless infants & Middle school .. then Ashleigh until I left in 1980

I started off at Ecclesfield Primary and then went on to Ecclesfield Comprehensive leaving in 1999. I wouldn't have said I loved school at the time.. but thinking about it since I left.. it wasn't so bad.

Anyone else go there?

i went to Bents green school, left around 1977, the headmaster was mr Bailey, i was a resident there for about 3 years, jsut hated the early morning walks come rain or shine.

I went to Western Rd, Then to Park Rd at Wath, finished up at Hurlfield Boys. Left 26/7/57

Greystones Junior and middle school - 1982-89
High Storrs school - 1989-1995

R.I.P - Gleadless Valley Secondary School
I went to Valley from Sept 1989 to June 1994.

My grandfather Harold Bunting went to Anns rd around that time he lived with his grandparent's they ran the Shakespeare inn

I went to Silverdale from 1981 to 1986.
Still keep in contact with 1 or 2 friends that i used to hang around with.
I remember Mr Sanderson was the Headmaster, we had Miss Strickland, the deputy head mistress, and Mrs "Bulldog" Bullidon, who, after having read all 29 pages, I believe is still there!
Mr Hardy and Mr lee both taught maths and Mrs Powell and Mr Lawrence (gingernut) taught us languages.
"Pinhead"Wilson took us for geography, my fave teacher was Mrs "Dogs-on-skis" Duszjasnski who took us for english in the library!!

Hazel, did you wear bottle green gym knickers too ? we did.

Hi Faerie
I started there in 47 and Sister Marie Piiere was head to be replaced by Sister Monica. I remember one or two Sister Marys. no Sister Gerard
The school was run entirely by the Notre Dane Nuns as you say, and they were quite strict. Over the entrance was written Notre dame High School for young ladies and I remember the nuns pointing it out to us scholarship girls. We were taught up in the attics, what I would think had been the serrvants quarters in days gone by.
Was the the big room still called La Salle where we did music and wet weather dancing. And did you have Miss Jowett for music. Still threw chalk and the blackboard rubber did she.
Hi Poppins
Yes we wore bottle green knickers and mine had a posket in. but over them we wore, for gym, pale green dresses so we didn't expose to much. we were the only school to play our netball fixtures in dresses. No wonder I'm so modest now.
hazel

Hazel
i was the captain of the netball team at St patricks, got my name engraved on the big school silver cup, wish i still had that photo of the team.

Hi FAERIE

Received email from you today ? ( Wierd )

Hi Hazel
yes I remember Miss Jowett and yes the salle was still as you remember it when I went there!
yes they were strict and Sister Monica was head when I went. The chalk throwing continued but the teaching in the attics had stopped and they were store-rooms again.
Agamus!

I went to Bluestones Primary School at Norfolk Park till about '74 then to Hillsborough Primary and Middle. Then on to Chaucer which I left in '85. I was pretty disappointed with that as all my friends from Hillsborough were going to Myers Grove. I've always thought that I'd have got a better education if I'd gone there, but reading these posts is making me change my mind!!

Went to buy a pc the other day and got chatting to the lad serving me. He left Chaucer School about 5 years ago and loads of the teachers were still there that taught me! Mr Crowe, Mr Bainbridge etc. Does anyone remember Mrs Marsden?

Would have thought there'd be more Myers people on here given the size of the school back at its peak.

Can't believe 19 years has past since i left. :D

I started at Foxhill before moving to Yewlands.I left in 1990-it seems like yesterday-but the smattering of grey hairs and rising debts tell me that it wasnt:suspect:

Did anyone go to Bole Hill School?

I went to the following: Grimesthorpe Junior school, Whiteways middle school, Earl Marshall school and finished up at Granville college for 2 years. All these ranging from 1966 to 1980's.

Hinde House School 73-78. Now, as a mature, married man who lectures in Higher Ed, I look back on those days and smile at the memories of long-lost schoolfriends. Unfortunately, I also remember [with few exceptions] the appallingly poor "teachers" foisted upon us. I remember the fat, inadequate little Art teacher who told me that he, "couldn't ****ing care less" if I failed my O levels. I remember too, huge classes in which conditions of near-riot prevailed. I remember the gormless, female science teacher who, when I sat opposite her with my parents on Open Day, admitted that she didn't know who I was. The school motto said it all really ; "Integrity, Endeavour". Be honest, and try... how unutterably pathetic!

did you know any of the Leightons Timo. I married one of them for my sins

I can't remember much here, except a blond-haired lad about my age. I think he was Graham or Graeme Leighton. I never knew him very well, but think he was in the Sixth form around 77/78.

......................errrmmmmm, thought not

My old school is or was St Theresas on Prince of Wales Rd.

My first school was Castle Hills near Doncaster (1967 to 1968). I used to get battered by a big girl (6 y.o.) there! She was rough! Escaped to Kiveton Park Infants (Dec 1968 to 1970);the schools on both sides of Station Road. I remember the whole school turning-out to watch the Queen's train pass through Kiveton Bridge Station and watching the Fire Brigade hosing down the front of the "new" school in an exercise. Then to Kiveton Park Meadows Juniors (1970 to Feb 1973). We kids coundn't say all that and called it "Meadow Park". Christmas 1970: I built a nativity scene in the middle of the clock-room floor. The whole class had to walk around it until it was photographed. I think the photo was published in "The Star". 1971: I went head-over-heels in the playground and got concussion. One of my classmates at the time, John Turner, lives just down the road from here, in East Grinstead!
1972; plague of caterpillars on the playing field. My coat peg number in Sept 1970 was 15. In Sept 1971, in a different classroom, by coincidence, it was also 15. That made an impression on me at the time and now one of my Lottery numbers is always 15. My teachers then were Mrs Doncaster, Mrs Ward and Mrs Sharpe. In Feb 1973 my family moved to Burncross and I spent the last term and a half at Windmill Hill Juniors. The standard of education at the new school (Mrs Taylor's class) was in a different league and I found myself out-of-my depth until we moved-up to secondary school at Ecclesfield Comprehensive (1973 to 1978).....
At Ecclesfield Forms: 1R, 2R and 3R (Mrs Bloomfield) and 4C4 and 5C4 (Mr O'Neill). Anybody match these schools and years? Kevin Taylor. PS. I don't know why a smilie face appears where the 8's are in this text!

i went to gleadless valley comp and left in 1983............sad to learn its not there now:(

i went to tapton and left in 99,it was a blast!

Went to Meadowhead and left in 95.

Hello everyone.

I attended Abbeydale Grange until 1990 (due to finish in 1992)
Joined Meadowhead for the last two years.

If there is anyone who attended either of those schools around that time frame, feel free to say hi! :thumbsup:

St Peters (left 1973)

Meadowhead School 1990 - 1995.
Already found one person from my year on the forum.

That's great sugarnspice, finding someone from your year on here. Still looking for anyone I know or vaugely know who comes on here! It's fun just browsing though.

:thumbsup:

I went to Jordanthorpe School, left in 1980. Hubby went to Rowlinson, left in 1979.

I went to Meadowhead, left to cross Dyche Lane and enter the college in 1992... and became a resident there for bloody years, much to the chagrin of Halliwell and the other art dept. bods. they were a grand lot, as were some of the teachers at Meadowhead... I actually look back on some of them with an awful lot of fondness, especially Mrs Benham - everyone seemed to hate her, but in all actuality I think she was about the best teacher I ever had :)

Ok, there was also Miss Wilson who taught Humanities back in my first year... damn, she was foxy ;)

I went to St Peters school from 1980 - 1983.
Fun times.

Hello everyone, I went to Longley Primary when Miss Patterson was the headteacher. Other teachers I remember were Mr Mason, Mr Shorton, Miss Marriot who loved dishing out the slipper! My friends there were Leslie Tipper, Rosamund Noble, and Anne Wilkinson. I also remember Terence Bacon and Terence Milner who I had a soft spot for as the teachers were always getting at him for things that were not his fault. I remember once bursting into tears when he was being caned for taking a few wax crayons home with him, bless him!:( I left there in 1960 when my father died and I was adopted. I then went to Penistone Grammar School, Manchester Uni and much later Nottingham Trent Uni.
I still love Sheffield and have wonderful memories of the Whit Walk, Millhouses Park and Longley Park. Great times and happy days:clap: I am now 55 years old and would love to return to look round Longley School.:D

I vaguely recall going to Thornbridge Comp, left officially in 1985.
All my reports seemed to say could have done better!

Proved them all wrong tho, had some really nice jobs since left and I am intelligent Honest! Was bored out of brains at school thats why no interest.

Recall an RE teacher who used to sit cross legged on his desk and wore jesus sandles...lol Smoked a pipe too.
All the cat scraps, the bullies....the good times and the bad.

I went to St Paul's on Granville Rd and prior to that St Oswalds primary on southend Rd, Wybourne.
