Maybe some of us know eachother or wenmt to the same school so:

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

Paul

Abbeydale Grange at Millhouses, left in 1977. Howard Wilkinson (Former Owls Manager) was a PE teacher there at the time and Seb Coe the Athlete / Tory was probably it's most famous former pupil, Brian Anderson, former British champion Boxer was in my year.

Hey, someone posted this url on my Ecclesfield School forum, so thought I'd better add my url here - http://www.esvc.freeserve.co.uk/

Wales High School, Kiveton.
It's a Sheffield post code. :wink:
I left in 1995.

I went to Frodsham High school in my Home town of Frodsham near Chester. The only claim to fame is that Gary Barlow from Take That went there and his mum works there as a lab assistant, she's called "Mrs Barlow" or Marge, by her friends, I think.

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..

i still goto the Sheffield College (Peaks centre)

Went to Hurlfield (is it Myrtle Springs now???) Left in 1986.

I went to Herries School and left in 1985 I THINK it was! :lol:

I went to prince edward at the manor top, Mr. Sefton was the headteacher a little tough guy he bullied all the boys ( especially the big ones ) I left in 1941 ( oh dear what a long time ago. ) Try not to think about it! :oops: :oops:

I attended Prince Edward at the manor top,we had a little tough guy for a head teacher called Mr. Sefton, who threatened to smack us under the chin if anyone stepped out of line. We had a saying for him ( out of his hearing of course ) old mr. sefton is a good man, he goes to church on sunday, and prays to god to give him strength to cane the boys on monday.We were all afraid of him. don't know what he would have done today now that caning and punishment of children has been abolished. I left that school in 1941. :oops: :shock:

I went to chaucer school and left in 1998, it's full of ****heads, and has produced a load of backstabbing, grudge holding idiots since 1996.....

Also went to Yewlands and left in 1983. Went to a reunion at the school last year and had a good laugh, although the boys toilets looked like they haven't had a clean in 20 yrs.

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.

i went to earl marshal and left in 1989, did anyone else go there :?:

I went to Frecheville Comp & left in 82 I know it closed down but I'm not sure if it is still standing. I can't belive I left school over 20 years ago what's that all about? :shock:

Hey jill I left Abbeydale Grange 26 years ago !!!

Oh really ...should I give you my full identity.......memories of getting soaked dashing between upper and lower school in winter eh?

I went to Yewlands and left in 1971, it only seems like 32 years ago!

I went to St. Mary's RC high in chesterfield, and left in '94, before moving to sheffield.

I attended the old Greystones Sec Mod on Greystones Rd until 1966 (they think it is all over..it is now). Though lost in the mists of time and old age, I remember it as a very happy school. Anyone recall Mr Hyde who deserved a medal for trying to get us interested in Maths...or Miss Hornsby the French teacher and my first serious crush...ah happy days indeed.

no one went to king edward vii school?? :shock:

i quit there around five years ago, then tried a year at norton..

Yes, the uniform was awful. Girls had the pink and white checked polyester blouses with little round collars. Yuk.

Small world, I went to Gleadless Valley as well, left in 1992... you may ask how come I went all the way up Norton to School when I live at Stannington, but in those days I lived at Walkley back in the mid-late 1980s, and went to GVSS because it was the only School with a special needs facility which my parents deemed suitable for me after visiting King Edward's, Tapton, Oakes Park and Bents Green.

If you ever want to find old School chums, sign up on
Friends Reunited (http://www.friends-reunited.co.uk) I think that's the right link, I'll check and edit it if it's wrong.

I went to Gleadless Valley which is sadly no longer there although can't say they were happy times. I can remember a few teachers but not there names. Can remember the head teacher, we used to call him Batman because he wore one of those black gowns that used to flow behind one he walked along the corridors. The other teacher I remember is Mr Howe who was the Georgraphy teacher and coincidentally I found out last year that the bloke who owns the static caravan in front of ours his is younger brother. I also remember the little shop on the back lane where we used sometimes buy stuff for the cooker lessons if we forgot anything.

Went to the Blue Coat in Liverpool. Left this summer.

I went to:

Emmanuel Junior School - 1991 - 1995
Westfield School : 1995 - 1998

and then i went to All Saints RC High School on granville road from 1995 to 2000, was in form 7-11R, couldnt wait to leave but was very sad on the day espc because we went allowed to sign each others shirts, although we did when the whole year (almost) meet up at the peace gardens to run through the fountains (good times). i do regret not keeping in touch with my old school friends esp Hellen Aspinall.

Went to Prince Edwards, then Hurlfield. It merged with Ashleigh in my 3rd year and changed its name to Myrtle Springs. I think I left in 1990.

Gleadless Valley was crap... sorry but that was my opinion of it... the only thing that kept me sane the whole 5 years of being there was this lass called Helen Swann who was in my class for 4 out of the 5 years.

Haven't seen her for years now, and she isn't on the Friends Re-united site sadly.

Closest thing I've probably ever had to a real girlfriend to date, most of the other girls in the school were psychotic or at best a bit thick really.

Carfield Primary - quite a good school

After that newfield

i went to hurlfield and left in 1979..........

V.O.T V.O.T :thumbsup:

There was only one thing wrong with Gleadless Valley back in my days there, some of the kids there were 'tards.

And some of the teachers were even more daft.... especially old Dragon lady Freeman, for reasons I don't want to go into as even now it disturbs me... :(

rite k, i have no idea were 2 go which is quite gay.

Whatever you decide, you need to have a back up.... I wanted to get into Silverdale but I understood that they were very selective so I had a back up which was Sheffield College.

On the results day, I got the grades for Silverdale and so I went there!!!

Are you thinking of A levels or a vocational course such as childcare or hairdressing?

That's ridiculous advice - languages at A level aren't that hard, as long as you pay attention and realise it takes quite a bit of work on your part outside of college. I know people who got C's at GCSE and still managed to pass the A-level fine.

That certainly is unfounded advice!!

Languages are all different as are people... everyone has a different grasp on languges..

I got a B in GCSE Spanish and Did A Level and got an A..

Went to St Anselm's College in Wirral... Same as Austin Healey, Ben Johnson and Matt Dawson!!

I went to Birley left seniors in 89.

I will go to the University of Sheffield this September....:)

Languages are all different as are people... everyone has a different grasp on languges..

Which is why I told Sataninheels to be wary of doing one because of the way we were taught them at our school...

You know the tables in French? EG: RE verbs:

Prendre
Prends
and so on.....

Well, I had never seen them in my entire life, yet they were reciting them at Silverdale, as they had been shown them in year 9 and had known them ever since....

At my school, if we wanted to know how to say somethng, we asked the teacher. No magic formula... and thats what I mean when advising Sataninheels not to take a language!

Prince Edwards, then Hurlfield. But as I started the 4th year, Hurlfield merged with Ashleigh to become Myrtle Springs. I thought it was a crappy name back then, and I still do now.

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

Snap! I went to Valley as well, left in 1992.

You may ask why did I go all the way up Norton to School when I live in S6, it was the only School in Sheffield that was deemed by my folks to have a suitable level of support for disabled pupils, such as myself.

Pfft, support my a**e! From the day I started to the day I left I couldn't wait to get out of the place! The kids were evil, I was bullied for being from outside the area not to mention for being disabled, and did they teachers do anything about it?! Did the hell as like! Especially that dozy bint head of the disabled unit Mrs Sandra Freeman, in fact she was WORSE than the kids for bullying me.

Sorry, I'm just more than a little bitter that my parents forced me to go there, I should've gone to Myers Grove comp but they said I wouldn't have coped there, which may or may not have been true but I wasn't even given the opportunity to try it!

i went to westfield up until last june, but now at norton. westfields really gone downhill since our year left, apparently we were thelast decent year

I went to Hillsborough infants/middle school and then on to Myers Grove (when it had a good reputation!!)

I too went to Gleadless Valley (quite a while before you, I hasten to add), but I agree with everything you say.

It was an evil place and bulldozing was the best thing they could have done to it.

The best days of your life? My arse!

When did Myers ever have a GOOD rep?! Thought it has always been a school populated by kids who would rob you as soon as look at you and have no respect for even their own lives as they regularly play chicken on the speed bumps on the VERY busy Wood Lane.

Was at Firth Park School from 81-86. When I started we even had uniforms and detentions and lines!

[i]

You know the tables in French? EG: RE verbs:

Prendre
Prends
and so on.....

Well, I had never seen them in my entire life, yet they were reciting them at Silverdale, as they had been shown them in year 9 and had known them ever since....



If it makes you feel any better, we had been! I left Silverdale in '95 (so old!) and the foreign language teaching was ace, so I cane see how it might have been a bit of a shock coming to it for A-Level! Does Mrs Wenham/Mrs Bullidon still teach lang?

I went to King Edward the V11 School on glossop road. It was cool the funny thing is that i really miss it now.:mad:

Just curious if anyone knows where Joe Elliott of Def Leppard went to high school. What would be cool is a year book pic.

Mrs Wenham

I know there's still a mrs wenham teaching there, but as she's not my teacher, I don't know her!

I went to Chaucer school at Parson Cross til 1992.......

I too went to Bradfield School between 1971 and 1977. Hated it!! I was bullied big time.

Tapton, left 1990

I went to hillsborough middle, then to Chaucer, was there for around a year and moved to Bradfield. Left in 84.
I hated Chaucer, but liked Bradfield. Mr Lambourne (biology) and Mr Ashworth (art) were the best teachers in the world.

I went to Stradbrooke Primary School back in the early 80's for about a year I think. I remember having a friends there called Lisa, Greg, and Stephen, and two friends called Robert Thorpe and Robert Beck I think.

We all had this thing about Super Ted.

Can't remember exactly when I left - was about 1984/85 I think when I moved with my parents down to Devon.

If anyone was there around that time and remembers Robert Beard (that's me) get in touch.

Rob

Hi there,
I went to
Beck Rd junior school,,,, (shiregreen)

Then to ECCLESFIELD COMP SCHOOL on chapeltown rd
1993 - 1998

it was great.....
any one else got o ecclesfield comp?

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!

Hiya
I went to Hillfoot from 66 to 70.
Then Crookesmoor from 70 to 73.
Then Tapton from 73 to 77

Had a brill time at Tapton!Wish I could go back & do it all again!

You swapped the city for a pretty small town - do you miss it here, or does Liversedge 'suit you?' The only thing I ever missed from Dewsbury was the big old stone buildings (ex Mills) In the 70s they became nightclubs, Now it's good to see some of them made into housing (flats) - still enjoy the 'stoney-ness' of Dewsbury when I visit.
Like Sheffield better, though:D

Anyone remember Mr Crowe from Chaucer
I left in 1975

started as firs hill nursery, then on to longley infants and juniors then finally left firth park school in 1998! not many people that went to firth park on here! i loved the brushes building also! really upset it got knocked down :-(

My wife comes from Dewsbury and so I moved up here 30 odd years ago. All my relatives live in and around sheffield and so I am a frequent visitor and I would back if there was only myself to consider. You are right about the stone buildings of Dewsbury and district they are worth seeing.

upperthorpe,chaucer,finally burngreave left school in 1967,dorothy vernon was drama teacher at chaucer anyone remember her,at burngreave I remember miss ambler, miss coupe was the headmistress,miss driver was deputy head it all gets a bit hazy from there,

He's still at Chaucer as deputy head.

My missus works there as "school bobby" and believe me, she's very busy!

Greyfriars public school, Kent.

There was a fat kid there called Bunter - always nicking buns, jam doughnuts and tinned sardines.

Ahhhhh, those school days, free of tax, mortgages and red letters demanding money from next months wages!!!

I went to , Netherthorpe 1966-70, Morley Street (Rivelin Middle) 1970 -75 , and then the now notorious Myers Grove (comp) 1975-1980 ,when it was one of the best comprehensive schools in the country.
DAMN!!! what happened to it?????

Annes Road 1962 to 1967 & Newfield till 1972
