It's still King Ted's Lower School on Darwin Lane, it's just called a Language College now :) My son's in Y8 there.

I went to school in the Black Country, so my entry doesn't really count ;)

waltheof until about 74-bloody enjoyed it too,better than any job.

i just can't believe it was almost thirty years ago:confused:

john.

For those of you that went to Norfolk around 51-55 , I have a question . Was there not a special school jammed in between the juniors and seniors ? I seem to recall it was for handicapped kids .

There is a special school on Park Grange Road called Norfolk Park Special School. People still get it confused with Norfolk School. It was originally built as a training centre but the Education Committee took it over in the 60's.

Scout , the school I remember was on Brimmsfield Road . I remember it had a playground in front of the school as opposed to the back as was infants and juniors . I started Norfolk School on Cradock Rd (infants????) moved up to the juniors on Brimmesfield towards Spring Lane and then to seniors ( ??? ) right on the corner of Cradock and Brimmesfield . The special school was right in the middle on Brimmesfield .....I think . This was in around 53-55 . Our family left for Canada in 56 .

i went to chaucer school left in 1995 any one else from then get in touch! the head teacher was mrs Watson.

my partner went to king edwards or king teds and left in 1989-90 any one else from then?

Myers Grove - stannington, left in 1998

Went to Hurlfield (then boys only) until Easter 1962 and then on to Central Technical School . Left in 1965 and it was the greatest day of my life.....even better than the day I got married or when my kids were born.

That school was EVIL. All they cared about was your appearance. If you weren't prepared to be 'ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL', then they couldn't care less about your education.

Headmaster was a bloke by the name of Herbert Wadge and believe me the only decent thing that he did in his entire existance was to die. I got drunk by way of celebration when I heard that particular piece of good news some years after the actual event.

Abbeydale secordary then king egberts .strange being in countryside a long time ago

i left king teds in 1990

Managed to read the first 25 pages of this then gave in!!, Started off at Hucklow Rd then went to King Ecgberts. Think I must be the only one at King Ecgberts..

Hey!!! I left at the same time and I think I know who you are.
Do you remember Ms Whitely and Mr Biggin (headmaster)/.

I left King Teds in 1978, the head was Russell Sharrock, usually seen walking around in his cape and gown. That sadist and his henchman North would be locked up these days for their treatment of children. I still enjoyed my time there though, I was a good lad

Rowlinson 1976 - 1981 oh the memories:)

When Adam were a lad I went to Pipworth Rd and then to what WAS Hurlfield Grammar School for girls. Then they built Hurlfield school so we became Grange Grammar school for girls which became Abbeydale Grange then whatever it is now. If any one this old is on Miss Reid was head and there was a french teacher who made my life an absolute misery called Miss Rigby. If I could have met her in adult life....:mad:

My first school i attended was --
1 , Aston Springwood Infant roughly in 1967, and Junior school, we then moved from Aston to :-
2 . Darnall where i attended Phillimore Junior school.
finally.
3 . Parkhouse comp at Tinsley.
I hated every day i went to school, and could not wait till i left.
I left in 1979 at Easter and never went back, it was lovely walking through those gates for the last time, i have never looked backed yet. I cant believe i have been left 27 years ago. [and the teachers said i

Yes! I was there from 1990 - 1993 and then I went to a posh school in Wakefield for 4th and 5th year.

chaucer /1976/81.

Passed 11+ from Lydgate Lane Juniors in Crosspool (we were living at the Bell Hagg pub on Manchester Road) in 1964 and went to King Edward VII. Still all male then! :mad: Headmaster then was a guy nicknamed 'Fat Nat'. He retired (or got the boot - not sure) and replaced with Russel Sharrock. His nickname was 'Shrapnel' 'cos of scars on his neck. I remember getting caned for smoking under the scout hut and caught him putting out a Woodbine! Great to hear from anyone during this period '64 to '69'ish.

I started my educational career at Bradway County School, which became Lowedges Primary. Moved to Jordanthorpe Comprehensive in the year it became one school, and not separate boys and girls. Jordanthorpe is now Meadowhead.
Happy years - was Miss Pigle headmistress in them days? It is a LONG time ago!

Its now called Frodsham College because it managed to become a special school, meaning they focus on technology, or there supposed to. I now suspect that they actually just use the extra £500,000 a year paying microsoft for the windows, and then having someone maintain it.... Oh and they got the whole school wired up ready for ethernet connections.... Im babbling now..

Rowlinson
The worst were history and maths teachers who had no interest in teaching whatsoever (Barker and Ellin were their names I think)
The best were the headmaster Mr Kay and a Maths teacher Mr Fisher, he was the one who made realise how easy it was after Ellins pathetic attempts at teaching which just involved insults.

I went to whitby rd when it turned to greenlands with the afor mentioned pervy albare and then to Beaverhill leaving in 81 to go to Granville college

I went to jordanthorpe school in 1965 and left in 1969.

Big Kev do you remember they used to let us out at different times, either because of the buses or to stop us fighting I dont know which :D

I went to Annes Grove infants and juniors 1987- 93 then went to King Ecgberts Seniors from 93-99 ish, hated school though.

I dont think deep down anyone likes school, It is the one thing you are forced into in your life

hey artisan I can remember that you had to jog my brain cells though now then let me get this right, if I can remember we was let out at different times 1. because of the buses can you remember that they use to stop across from jordanthorpe school on what is now the main road what was changed when they altered the road and 2. yes because of the fighting between rowlinson school and jordanthorpe school which I might add was nearly everyday, the worse times was the holidays but the summer one and the christmas one were really bad for all that scraping what use to happen. seen many of my mates get stuck into the rowlinson lads and seen it the other way round as well I wonder why we hated them so much and they hated us so much, do you know in all that time I was there I never did find out why we hated each other. can you remember the football match that was staged by the 4th years of both schools it was like a blood bath I can remember one of our lads sticking the boot in one of the rowlinson lads only to be brought down by 4 others who made sure he didnt get up well not straight away. do you know what this reminds me off st trinnans but only the boys version of the film. oh happy days they were.

I left in '67 and the only reason iI can think of the squaring up to each other is that like all young lads we were just 'marking our territory'.
When you think about it its daft to put two schools as close together as that

i TAKE IT THAT ANNES GROVE SCHOOL IS THE OLD ANNES RD SCHOOL DOWN HEELEY?

I also went to Abbeydale Sec before they kicked us all to go to King Ecgberts in the late sixties.
Abbeydale Infants and Juniors before that.
Remember walking by the River Sheaf on Broadfield Rd to get to school and returning home via the 'gennel' (apologies if spelled incorrectly) near the Abbeydale pictures back onto Broadfield Rd.

Yeah it changed its name to Annes grove for a while but i think it may have changed its name back to Annes road again now, not sure.

My mum went to Anne's Road - eons ago.
Didn't know they'd changed the name, but if it's the school up the hill from Heeley Bottom, past Meersbrook Park Road and faces Chesterfield Rd, that should be Anne's Road, if my memory serves me.
Haven't been back there for years. Brought up around that area before they knocked our house down in Saxon Road. Ostensibly for slum clearance purposes.
Didn't feel like a 'slum' to me.

Hinde House, 84-88.

Did no one else Ever go to The Sheff College of Art and Crafts Junior Art Department or have we all popped off this mortal coil. I must admit it was donkeys years ago but i thought some of us must have survived

Windows, I feel the same as you because nobody seems to have gone to Abbeydale Girls Grammar School in the years from 1944 to 1949. I just can't believe that I am the only one left on this planet :rolleyes:

I was at Annes Road from 1944/45 until 1951. When was your mum there ? Maybe I know her if she was there at the same time.

I was at Annes Road from 1944/45 until 1951. When was your mum there ? Maybe I know her if she was there at the same time.

Can't remember the exact dates, but she was born circa 1938 so she would probably have been in the infants around the mid-forties.
Her maiden name was 'Stacey'.
Her full name was 'Patricia Elizabeth'.
They lived in a huge,gloomy,gothic looking house further down Chesterfield Rd just before the railway goods sidings and what was ( I think - it's a long time ago, but her grandparents lived there until the early sixties ) a sawmill or something like.
Also: I seem to remember there was a post-office a few houses down the hill towards Heeley.
She wouldn't have had far to walk to school.

Reading every ones school days makes me realise how much my school days were different. The J.A.D was situated on what is now Arundel Gate looking up to the Library. Our playing field was at Bents Green, we all liked the bus ride there. Just off Norfolk street there was the Juvenile Court and the gym we used was under there. If the weather was fine we exercised on the courtyard outside the church on Norfolk Street. Somewhere at the side of the Lyceum we went up some stairs to our dining room escorted by a teacher. At the Lyceum, we would leave our autograph books to be collected later with the signature of Frank Randall or maybe the famouse ballerinas of our time. I,m afraid the ruined building of Marples enticed us to test its safety . We queued at thorntons whenever they had sweets in or we would otherwise make do with those brown lozenger that were supposed to be for colds.
One day the teachers had found out and came round to each class(4) to tell us how bad this was for us, I think they had a word with Thorntons about it The Head was Mr Cartwrighr , the 2 Art teachers were Miss Mills and I think Mrs Mathews the French teacher was Miss Bingham and the Geography and Histry teacher was a flying officer Kyte tYpe whose name I cannot remember

Attended Chaucer, left in 1994.

Greenhill, then Jordanthorpe from 75 to 87

Hi I wen't to Burngrave Secondary Boy's School & I have a copy of the school magazine for January 1958. Anybody interested? Not for sale just for interest.

i left firthpark in 1995

I went to Greenhill primary from 1962 to 1968 then on to Jordanthorpe secondry modern from 1968 to1972.

meggie you would have been a first year when I was there because I left in 1969 but I went back in 1971 to see some of the teachers mr bob roberts and mr such and mr white they would have been at both schools then the bottom school which use to be the girls school of jordanthorpe and the top school was jordanthorpe for the boys but just before I left they joined the schools together. so they were mixed i had some happy times there our science teacher then was either mr baggley or mr twigg I think it was mr twigg he had one of the metal work teachers who would have been mr gibbs build a canon on wheels for us and on the day we took it out on to the school yard to try it out, we used a ball bearing and fired it at a door that was stood up in front of the wall so as to stop it so to speak but he went through the door and through the wall, the canon finnished up embedded in the floor. this canon was only so big about 8inches high but it did its job. I wonder if you had the same woodwork teacher as us he use to throw the black board rubber at you if he caught you talking cant think what they call him he was only a small chap. would mr rooks still be there and batman adams its that long since I was there the brain cells have gone.

i for my sins went to colley as well ,left in 79, as did my three younger brothers ,each in successive years , to be honest hated it while i was there , but wish i was back knowing what i know now ' nudge nudge ' , favourite teacher mr brightmore ;>) , always a smile and warm welcome......not ! . jolly green giant now teaches art to my kids at ecclesfield , what goes around etc ......

Hi Bigkev
The woodwork teacher who you are on about was mr Helliwell, he sadly is no longer with us he passed away a few years back. I never had woodworkmyself, but i remember those who did lived in fear of the dreaded flying blackboard rubber!! I used to like science... i got a house point for growing the biggest crystal once!!I was in the school athletics team. Can you remember the fire you had in the main hall? We stood on the playing fields watching it being put out.

Hi meggie
I forgot all about the fire we had in the main hall we was in the gym when it started playing pirates. mr guest was our pe teacher then but he didnt stop long then we had mr wilson he was a hard b**tard with us. if my memory is right it was started by four 5th form boys smoking at the back of the stage behind the curtain so nobody could see them. can you remember peanut wilson the art teacher he had some weird ideas on art mind you I can remember that the good art pupils had a nude sitting for them in the class room peanut wilson blank the door window out so nobody could see in. we saw her though as we went round the back and found a ladder up against the window. out of them who did see her we all got caned by mr haythorne on our ar*e's. he use to take us for sex education we was sure that he was having it off with miss t*tty waite as everytime we went in to the class room she would always come out smiling. he wanted us to pose for him can you imagine what would happen nowadays doesnt bear thinking about. can you remember any of the 4th years like richard street, bobby locket, brian ducker,ronnie bradshaw,john tait.

I don't believe it, i havent been on here for a couple of months and i am still the only one that went to Southey Green Secondery school,i left in 1958

Still all male then! :mad: Headmaster then was a guy nicknamed 'Fat Nat'. He retired (or got the boot - not sure) and replaced with Russel Sharrock. His nickname was 'Shrapnel' 'cos of scars on his neck. I remember getting caned for smoking under the scout hut and caught him putting out a Woodbine! Great to hear from anyone during this period '64 to '69'ish.
At last, somebody who went to Lydgate. I had a great time there, leaving in 1954 to go to King Teds. John Savile was my form master for the last two years before the 11 plus.Ronald Peck the headmaster. Didnt like King Teds much. Got 7 'o's and joined Barclays Bank in Hillsborough in 1960. I called in the Bell Hagg a few times too. A few of the cast of Coronation Street called in there one night. On their way back from some 'do' in Sheffield. Len Fairclough knocking back the large brandies.

I went to Ecclesfield Comp and I'm 23 now so I must have left in 1998. Anyone else in that year or the year below or above?

I went to bradfield comp,left in 1988,still miss the school dinners:( ,remember Mr bancroft,he also teached,my mum,sister,and nephew,also remember Miss worthington,Mr&Mrs Wardal,remember getting caught smoking loads of times,had to paint toilets for punishment:gag:

Just re-read this thread from the start and surely some one else MUST have attended Grange Grammar School for girls BEFORE it was Abbeydale grange. My friend then was Francis Briggs. 1956/57

i went to Lowfield Junior and infant school up to 1984, then Abbeydale Grange to 1989

I went to Gleadless Valley comp it was bulldozed years ago, I left in 1979 cause Im OLD!


I left in 1978

Derbyshire Lane. 1938-1942,other schools Southey green,and St. Matthias.

The headteachers name was POOL,

Old man Pool,he is a fool;
He goes to church on sunday;
he prays to god,to give him strength,
To cane the lads on monday.

Wow!! I've just gone through the whole thread, and only came across 3 people that went to Silverdale!!
1 person left as I started, and 1 started as I left!!
Still haven't found anyone who was there from 1982-1986 which is when I was there :( :( :huh:

I was there just a few years before you. Was Mrs Cutts still headmistress of the infants and Mr Roberts headmaster of juniors when you were there
Mrs Cutts? :o No she was a music teacher or something. Headmaster was Mr Woodward and Deputy Head was Mrs Jones when I was there.

I remember Mrs Cutts tho.

I went to Ecclesfield Town Secondary School. The headmaster was Mr Brooke. One of the teachers was Mr Foat.
We were presented with a Bible on entering the school.
The sticker in the front of the Bible says COUNTY COUNCIL OF THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE Education Department.
I have signatures of fellow pupils and teachers on the front and back pages.
I went on into further education at Barnsley Tech.
I left Barnsley Tech in 1959.

I went to Notre Dame School (Fulwood Road) and I am wondering why at half term and for assembly's we went across the road to a non catholic church at Ranmoor. Can anyone enlighten me!!!!

I was at Handsworth Grange....ahh the class of 99'

Wybourn Infants, Junior & Middle (can never remember what it was called whilst I was there, but Mr Jevons (sp) was HT at the time) thence to King Egberts (what a shock that was to a Wybourn lad!) and on to Waltheof Comp... should have gone to Hurlfield with my mates but life is never easy :(


edit...

Mr Lacey was Headteacher, Mr Jeavons was Deputy Head

I went to Firs Hill, then Earl Marshal (or the new name Fir Vale) I went to the official worst school in Britain :)

I left All Saint's Church school at Burngreave in 1970, then went to Earl Marshall til 75. It wasn't a bad school in those days.

Hi Sheshe - I went to Grange Grammar School from 1959 to 1962 when we move to Frecheville and I went to Thornbridge Grammar. I remember that Grange Grammar school seemed quite strict but I enjoyed it.

I went to Darnall C of E School on Station Road from 1958 to 1964, Happy Days with teachers like Mrs Hindle, Mrs Crookes and Miss Tucker, all wonderful role models who were very kind and considerate to all of us kids. After completely screwing up my 11 plus :cry: I was incarcerated at Waltheof Secondary Modern, as it was known at the time. I was sentenced to 6 full years, yes I was a 6th former at Waltheof, leaving in 1970. I do think back fondly of those long lost days even though I didn`t enjoy them that much at the time. Where did the time go?:confused:

St Peters Ecclesfield, I left in 1983.

I went to Killamarsh Infant and Junior school, but left Sheffield before going onto Eckington.

I was at the schools from 1985 - 1991

I went to Western Road Secondary Modern until 1958, as did the bully who lived next door. He was like it to me for years, but tried it once too often and I 'turned' and went for him and he ran to his dad screaming. His dad then called me a bully and I was gobsmacked! I saw him a few years ago and he was still a pathetic little twerp. I guess I would have enjoyed school but for him and his mates.

No more school.
No more stick.
No more rotten arithmetic.

Perhaps Mr.Davies or Ms. Pointon took you at H.S.?


Yes, Mr Davies was my first year form teacher, he's also my p.h.u. teacher as well as Ms Pointon and Ms Baxter.

Mr Davies left when I started third year, I had the misfortune of having Mr Hales as my form teacher for the rest of the years at H.S.!

Brook left in 1983:thumbsup: , my son is now in year 11 at City

Chaucer Comp and part time Borstal!

When I was young and badly behaved, my dad used to terrify me by threatening to send me to 'Camek'
Mr Camek apparently used to be one of dad's teachers - a real hard case- and now was governor of a borstal, dad told me many times I would be sent there upon my next misdemeanour.
I remember one evening I had been sent up to my room and there was a loud knock on the front door and dad's voice came up the stairs "Cameks come to take thee away lad"
Of course I realised later it was Dad who had knocked on the door himself but I was absolutely terrified and promised to be good for evermore
When I left school at fifteen I became an apprentice electrician and one of the first jobs I went to was at a borstal somewhere near Burngreave.
I was working away when this very distinguised gentleman came and asked me my name and introduced himself as Mr Camek!. Iswear time stood still when I heard that name, it was like something out of the Twilight Zone.
Anyway Mr Camek turned out to be a real gent although I do not doubt he could be as hard as Dad described
And so I did end up in Camek's Borstal as phrophesised
