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.

You wouldn't be the Pauline whose surname began with L and who every boy in school fancied like mad by any chance???

So, it's still there Laura, amazing, I would imagine it's probably looking pretty run down now, it was a new school when I was there.The headmaster was called Mr Rollinson, I still have my last school report signed by him.


the head master is now Mr Robert Porter but soon to become mr holmes or mr jackson one of the deputy heads there.

1929 -1934 someone was asking about the smith family on poole st jack smith was in my class.
sorry Jack Smih the chimmney sweeps son lived on Peel st and these dates are when i was at BROOMHILL SCHOOL with him.

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.
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

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!!!!

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 :(

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.

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.!

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
