My (Alan) Old - Head of lower school then head of 6th form and math teacher - the school's claim to fame; Alan Old was a British Lion and England international rugby player. Had a bit of a reputation for dicipline but was always OK with me

I went to Holt House Primary.... errrr... about 68-71
Carterknowle Junior School after that until 75

Anybody know a Brendan Murphy? He was studying to be a doctor last time I saw him. He was in every single class that I was thoughout my whole school time!!

Trying to think of other kids names but tend to remember only their first names. :-( (but there was a Michael Entwistle, Andrew Sirus, John Gilliot, Helen Phillips and Elizabeth Nuttall)

Loved an old crotchity history teacher from abbeydale grange called Mr Pomfrett, never gave anyone lines to write, got us to write out pages from our history text books!

Anyone else from Sheffield living in Australia?

Hi Frosty,
Brendan did become a doctor and worked in Rotherham for a while but if I remember correctly he then emigrated to either Australia or New Zealand. If you have a look on a site called Rock Reunited there is a pic of him in the Kay Gee Bee.
You'd of known of one of my ex's Felicity [long blonde hair] and probably knew my sister although I'm not going to mention her name as then I'd be identifiable.
Mr. Pomfret was one of the old brigade though he used to walk in to the class dictating and an hour later walk out still dictating, I preferred Mr. Longley.

I do remember a Fecility, did you used to 'see' her at school?

The thing I remember most about Mr Pomfrett was that for such an old man (past retirement age) he came and watched our/his class win the interform football tournament in subminus temperatures, I remember he was so proud of us.

Do you have an url for the page with the pic of Brendan on rockunited? (I can't seem to find it) I remember he was also very much into music as well. Email me direct if you prefer.

http://www.borracho.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/rock/index4.shtml
There you go, depending on how good your memory is you may recognise at least another three of the people on that page.
I think Fliss was in her last year when I was with her and when I saw her a couple of years ago couldn't believe she'd had her long hair cut off, I was so upset!!

OMG...............!!!!!

Holy ****!!

Yep, pickup on three (maybe four!) of them straight away!

Many thanks for that, much appreciated.

Any of them still in contact?

Miss king was scawcrofts secretary.

Sorry about that, it must be me that is having memory problems, I don't remember her at all. I thought I was his secretary in my first year, as our room was next door to Scowcrofts office, room 61 if I recall. He has a buzzer in that room which he pressed when he wanted an errand boy. I lived at a post office so he used to call for me to post all his mail when I went home for lunch.

i went to meadowhead 98-03, now they've gone and knocked my school down and made a fancy new one.

I had the great pleasure of walking up and down the wet muddy field about 5 times a day! :P

Anyone who attended Ecclesfield G.S.in the 50s would tell you that the Gym teacher in Kes was undoudtidly "Billy Buck",which is not surprising as Barry Hines,the author,was a pupil there.

Hi Taffy124, yes I went to Burngreave School, I think a little before your time 1951 to 1955. If you look back through the thread you should beable to pickup on others that went there.

I was at Waltheof (On the Manor) between 1966 and 1970

Whitby Road Juniors (Darnall) 1962-66

Happy days - Kevin :hihi:

Park House School, Bawtry Road, Tinsley. Left in 1985!

I went there too. Who was ur form teacher ?

I remember Mrs Paterson, Mrs Machin and Mr Ellis at Whitby Road. Mr Saxon was Junior School head and Miss Cocking Infant School headmistress.

I was in Miss Johnson's class one day and we were told to strip for PE. Of course we all stripped in the classroom down to underwear and vest. Glynnis Smith asked if she could be excused but it was refused. That day she had decided to wear her mothers suspenders and stockings .... what a sight. I remember the feelings vividly, I suddenly realised what girls were for. ;)

At Waltheof I started out in Mr Mawson's class . The only other form teacher I can remember was Mrs Furniss (Arts teacher) at the top of the tower block. I remember Mr Shipley (Maths), Mr Battersby (English)

I would give my right to go back there to that time, just for one term ... if only to settle some old scores and plant one on Julie Caley's lips :love:

Regards - Kevin

[QUOTE=jim austen;2567688]Colley Road school Parson Cross 1951 to 1952. Mr Birch was headmaster then. Always addressed us boys as "sonny"

Hello Jim This might be a bit of a shock to you but I had my first teaching job at Colley in 1957 so I only just missed teaching you!

Hi Eileen
Mr Birch must have been there when you started. I remember Mrs Buchanan and a Mr lLndley (woodwork teacher. I revisited the school once in 1997. The school had become an evening college or something at that time. I recently heard that it had been closed and was going to be demolished. Dont know if it's true or not. I wasn't at the school very long but my sister was and she has always said that it was a very good school

Hi Jim I was only there a year also then went to Leicester for a few months before coming over to Australia!I remember Mr Birch very clearly also some of the other teachers but not their names but I do know Mrs Buchanan was one of them, another young one I think.
I took PE and English and one or two classes for other subjects.Your sister might remember me for PE if she was there 1957/8

i went to woodhouse west until 1978 then i went to shirebrook until 1981 and left there in 1986, mr lighthowler was my form tutor

I've seen Miss P a few times and my mum used to see her regularly on South Road. I then went on to De La Salle and the rest as they say, is history...

Just a note regarding colley school. Yes it did become a college for a while, then closed. Then vandals set fire to it and it was later demolished. Now just waste land.

Hi Taffy124, yes I went to Burngreave School, I think a little before your time 1951 to 1955. If you look back through the thread you should beable to pickup on others that went there.

You might know my uncle Keith Darling and my dad Michael Darling????

King Ecgberts techical school for girls. Kitty coates the headmistress and Miss Ainsworth the deputy head. We wore maroon tunics with blue blouses, gaberdenes and berets.
Miss Bluff the music teacher was slightly potty, Miss Garrison the PE teacher rather frightening, Miss Griffiths the maths teacher TERRIFYING

MY MUM WENT TO KING EGBERTS, IS THAT STILL A GIRLS SCHOOL?
My wife went there in 64 it is now a comprehensive.

I went to Maltby St in Attercliffe and I recently saw some photos on Friends Reunited of it being demolished.....I didn't know....how sad.

I went to Carrfield Intermediatry School in 1444 - 1948, is there anyone still out there who remembers Mr Kay the headmaster - a gentleman.

I was at Carfield Intermediate School from 1943 to 1947 so our time at Carfield must have overlapped.Maybe you recall the incident described below.To answear your question I remember Mr Kay ,vividly.

A friend and I decided to take an afternoon off school to play tennis. Unfortunately Mr. Kay the Headmaster was informed of our absence and decided that punishment was indicated. The next day all the boys were assembled in the hall to witness punishment (two strokes of the cane on each hand). Mr Kay was standing on a dais at the front of the hall giving a lecture on the lack of discipline at Carfield and that he intended to make an example of the two of us.
He selected me to be caned first . Unfortunately, as Mr Kay raised the cane for the first stroke he shattered a light bulb and shade just above his head, causing
subdued laughter from the assembled boys. I have a feeling that the laughter did nothing to reduce the severity of the first stroke to hit my hand. After the incident he apologized for keeping us waiting while he lectured the school. The pain in my hands lasted for a couple of days but I must say that I never resented the caning, feeling that it was justified. In fact even now I have nothing but admiration for the Mr Kay and the way he ran the school. He was a true gentle man.

I went to Rowlinson from 1976 to 1982

I left Rowlinson in 1975 having gone through from age 11 to 18!!
I remember some of the above, especially Killer Holmes the art teacher - he really was a cruel bugger. My form teacher for most of my time there was Bob Parnham (pengy Parnham because he walked like a penguin) and the best teacher there was probably Dave Dawson - a genius English teacher in my days. Mike Trevorrow was also a gifted and inspiring teacher, as was Simon Morris, sociology teacher and all round great bloke. He used to take us to the pub for a pint and teach us overe a cigarette and a few beers!

Hi Antijammer - unfortunately I don't remember the incident, you would have been in the year above me. I loved that school and all the teachers in fact I sobbed like a baby on leaving day. It seems ironic that I now live in a house which directly overlooks the school.
Do you remember sports day when we had to travel to a field opposite the entrance to Graves park, I was always in the hockey team, not being very athletic and I was in Australia house. As you say Mr Kay was one of life's true gentlemen. Mavis Petch (that was)

I went to Herries and left in 1984. Some friends I remember are:
Michelle Bramhall, Lynne Whitehead, Gary Smith, Mark and Darren Stocks, Richard Wareham, Wendy Thackary. Were are you all????

Hi Antijammer - unfortunately I don't remember the incident, you would have been in the year above me. I loved that school and all the teachers in fact I sobbed like a baby on leaving day. It seems ironic that I now live in a house which directly overlooks the school.
Do you remember sports day when we had to travel to a field opposite the entrance to Graves park, I was always in the hockey team, not being very athletic and I was in Australia house. As you say Mr Kay was one of life's true gentlemen. Mavis Petch (that was)
Tatty Dumps,
Let me first apologize for the delay in replying to your post.
Yes,I remember the field very well.I and a group of kids were sitting on the boundary of the cricket pitch when I was hit with the cricket ball in a very tender spot,so I remember this field vividly.I was curious about the ending of your post "Mavis Petch(that was)"--- I don't think I know the lady.
I must say I am surprised that more people don't have things to say about Carfield.I have nothing but fond memories of that school,the teachers, and the kids.
Antijammer.

I don't think there can be ANYONE on here other than me that went to Maltby Street. If there are, then they must be hiding :(

Joanl I did know two people who went there in the late '50's and early '60's. Peter Lowe and his twin sister and Pauauline Middlelane

I don't recall the twins you mention and it was Roger Midlane that was in my class. I bet Pauline was his sister. Came from the Liverpool St end as I remember.

Joanl I think you're right about Pauline because I can remember her living on Liverpool st. she went to High Storrs. I met and became friends with Pete Lowe because we both went to Owler Lane and then on to Hinde House. I can remember that Pauline was a year older than me

I attended:

Crookesmoor Junior and Crookesmoor Middle

Hi to all my old schoolmates! Let me know how you're doing.

In which case I'll be the first to claim Notre Dame, 1984-1991 :D

i went in 1979 and left in 1983

I went to Herries left in 1971, the year of decimalisation!!! Anyone else leave that year? Can't seem to find anyone on facebook, Not too good at remembering names either. Lived in the Pitsmoor area, would love to find the old crowd.

Hi. Is your surname Robinson? I have Roger Midlane at my house visiting tonight and he thinks you lived opposite the chip shop on Newhall Road! Him and Pauline both still live in Sheffield.

Joanl I think you're right about Pauline because I can remember her living on Liverpool st. she went to High Storrs. I met and became friends with Pete Lowe because we both went to Owler Lane and then on to Hinde House. I can remember that Pauline was a year older than me

Teachers: Mr Pride, Mr (Boris) Cooper & Mr Hedley, he used to give me the slipper every time it was PE cos I hated football, I saw him not long ago & was tempted to 'remind' him of how he used to treat me.

(I am sending this message for a Friend of mine, who is waiting to get registered) Hiya, my name was Pauline Parker, I was in Mr.Prides class. Pauline Green was my Friend and was also in my class. I remember most of the names you lads have been talking about on here, like: - Bernard Shaw, do you remember when Mr.Pride tried to teach us French? He took us to Castleton with his girlfriend and he carried May Critch piggy back. May had polio as a baby. Be great to catch up so for now, if you remember me, get intouch - my email address is paulineedna2121@aol.com

Mr. Nolan was the art teacher, he was ok - his wife taught me in previous yrs when i attended Longley School. Mr. Boam - FANTASTIC history teacher, used to have a right good laugh with him, he should win awards for putting up with us, his way of dealing with us was, can't beat em, join em! The good old days! Oh my god, i feel so old now...LOL!!

Peter D South Carolina

Too much political interference from the Lefties with their social engineering policies, their mission, to turn the UK into a third-world state.

I went to Abbeydale Grange, left around 1984, some good memories but wouldn't send my kids there


hi i went to abbeydale grange left in 1981 from 1977 before that went to shiregreen

my sister also went to abbeydale grange and left in 1984 her name was alison

I left Rowlinson in 1975 having gone through from age 11 to 18!!
I remember some of the above, especially Killer Holmes the art teacher - he really was a cruel bugger. My form teacher for most of my time there was Bob Parnham (pengy Parnham because he walked like a penguin) and the best teacher there was probably Dave Dawson - a genius English teacher in my days. Mike Trevorrow was also a gifted and inspiring teacher, as was Simon Morris, sociology teacher and all round great bloke. He used to take us to the pub for a pint and teach us overe a cigarette and a few beers!

Mike trevorrow taught us at yewlands (I left in84') I bet it is the same teacher?

I went to Colley School - now Parson Cross College - and left in 1986.

Paul

This is not the Paul Cocker that lived at fox hill with a sister called Karen.

The first school I went to was the Sacred Heart. Dont remember exactly what road it was on but it was in the vicinity of Hillsboro Barracks

I was at the tender age of five and the teachers were nuns. Scary enough in their dark robes and veils and what a bunch of old biddies they were. There wasn't the slightest feeling of tenderness and compassion for little kids my age, their hearts as cold and withered as their unused wombs.

I was threated by one of them with a caning during my first day at the school. I had been standing near a fire guard and one of the railing had come loose at one end. Being near it automatically made me guilty.

I can remember a kid sitting next to me peeing his pants because he was too terrified to ask to be excused, a puddle of pee forming on the floor underneath his desk

Even today, these many, many years later I can still remember how those nuns smelled. There was a stale musty smell about them perhaps caused by them having to wear the same habits every day and not being able to take a proper bath in a naked state. I heard that they had to bathe wearing a shift
as the sight of their own nudity was a sin and perhaps a punishment of 100 hail mary's from mother superior:rolleyes:

Fortunately I didn't stay too long there and was hauled out after a year or so and sent to a regular, non religious school.

i went to foxhill till mid 70's then to yewlands till 1980.

Went to Beaver hill Handsworth from 1979 to 1983 I think!!!!! OMG so long ago before that I went whitbey road AKA greenlands. Last name Thorpe

i went to foxhill till mid 70's then to yewlands till 1980.

I went to Yewlands in 1980 so I started just as you were leaving, so our paths may have crossed! I bet the same teachers were there, spooky really, because back then we would have been worlds apart age wise and now we are older not really that far apart.

I went to Foxhill late 60's early 70's, the teachers i remember: Mr Parkin, Mr Youle, Miss Bowie, Mrs Jones, Mrs Brown, Mrs Robinson, Mr Morson, Mrs Whitacker, Mrs Whitbread, Mrs Price, Mrs Knights, Mr Reville
Pupils i remember: dianna Lees, tracey oates, theresa gaffeney, joanne knights, anna hodgson, suzanne bradley, sally anne weston, valerie chambers, debra cooper, beverley baxter, sharon tether, joanne doane, carron pearson, lynne owen, maria jess, karen smith, yvette crocker, june bottom, lynne sharpe, julie cartledge, julie gregory, michelle cave, christine dunkley, garry travis, dean edley, chris samson, barry pollard, chris McCale, carl varley, peter moore, gary kemp, jonathan womack, andrew grocock, john taylor, peter winstanley, peter kitson, john nicolson, anthony chapman, jamie young, stephen naylor, jonathan palmer (i remember he frequently stuck rubbers up his nose, if he was in Mr Revilles class he used to throw the black board wiper at him)
if you can think of anyone else please add to the list.
i can't believe i can actually remember this many, it's 35+ years ago, just hope someone can remembers me. LOL.

I did go to school ..not that it did much for me! I was at Notre Dame between 1986 -1991 oh wat a ball i had !!! Not!!! Quite a poor year group dont think it helped much...also went to Sacred Heart 1981-86..anyone go there ?? it was a time of fun and fun and fun....liberal education system so much fun ..guaranteed though not to be able to read, write and do simple arithmetic too!!! But it was fun!!! lol Thankfully i educated myself outside school and managed to get thro uni and into the civil service...

I went to Hinde House School from 1984-1988 I remember Mr Elliott being the headmaster at the time.

I went to Bracken Hill 1949-1951 Netherthorpe 1951-1956 and then Upperthorpe leaving at easter 1960 teachers I remember were the head Mr. Charles Cawsey, Mr.Emple, Mr.Read,Mr.Sanderson,Mr.vickers (woodwork) and Mrs.Hurt.

I went to the 'school of hard knocks!' otherwise known as Park House (or Park Hurst as it was more commonly referred to!) :hihi:

i went to huntsman gardens school until 75 then did a year at firth park then moved to chaucer where i left in 1980. mr crowe did the disco for my wedding reception which we had in the school hall at chaucer school

Attended Rowlinson School 1972 to 76.
