anybody go to southey green school 1960 to 1970 any memories from then?

hi nikita, i went to southey school late 60`s do you remember Mrs Car, she was a real dragon! i think the headmaster was Mr Kay, the man who taught us french married the domestic science teacher do you remember thier names?

Hello jonboy good to hear from someone no i remember him but i cannot remember who he married i know she used to teach domestic science we used to lead her a right merry chase .I remember mr cooper who taught maths and miss waite

Left in 1969, never seen anyone who I was at school with since, they must all be doing time.

I remember the french teachers name as Nortcliffe used to have the only classroom upstairs. The headteachers name I thought was Lupton, very tall guy or am I mistaking him with the junior school. Wally webster was our form teacher, also taught maths, great guy liked him a lot, was fond of uing the cane, his catchphrase which he was fond of using was "BY JINGO"[/B].

A few other teachers names I remember are Mrs. Gregory (geography?), Bishop(english?),Hukin who I believe only retired a couple of years ago as a head of another Sheffield school.
Do you remember the annual compulsary cross country run around the perimeter of Longley Park, there was no escape for anyone, even with a note from your mum.

Now they seem great days, so long ago, its a shame about the area around the school.
Great memories.

Well Pietro, I left Southey Green in September 1968, to do my time in Australia, as far as I rememember your right, Mr Lupton was the headmaster, I remember Mr Webster very well, he was deputy head, I had Mr Headley for maths, Yuk!! I remember the day trip to Liverpool and Manchester, AHHH...the good old days

Hi Pietro, Yes you are correct the headmaster was Mr Lupton, see how long ago it was my mind is going!! Kathy remembers Mr Northcliffe as french teacher, I think there have been reunions organised for ex pupils but i never went to any, apart from a few close friends (who i am still in touch with) i think the best memory for me was the day i left. still i do remember some good times. remember Mrs Carr lining you up in the corridor in the mornings for uniform inspection? imagine that now. i still live not too far away, the school looks really rundown now.

hi everyone
my name is david wilde my family migrated to australia in 1970 i went to your school but don't remember much i lived in buchanan road and often played in longley park if you might remember my family at all email me at dswilde@hwy.com.au
thanks
dave

There's a name that strikes fear in my heart. Am I correct in thinking he was the P.E teacher, blue tracksuit, close cropped hair and a size 12 gym shoe in his hand.
Tell me I'm wrong, i've tried to forget him after all these years and the pain he inflicted.

Kathy,I was on the Liverpool trip, around 1966,Chester zoo, the cathedral, ferry across the mersey. I remember all we were bothered about was seeing the cavern club or the Beatles, never did though. Might of got some pictures somewhere, have to have a look.

Hi Pietro
I think we must have been on the same trip to Liverpool, sounds like it. if you find any pics I would love to see them, email me at kahall2@bigpond.com I remember it as if it was only yesterday, what a wonderful time we all had, even though we didn't get to see the Caven...Love Kathy

Yep i went to southey green school i left in 1975 then went to chaucer.Headmaster was lupton can you remember the headmistress from the infants Miss Hill what an old battleaxe she were. Other teachers i can remember are Mr Senior, Mr Gillard, Mr Drake, Miss Grapes, Miss Hayes, ooh nearly forgot Mr Roebuck and the best teacher Mr Chambers, 30 years ago how time flies.

Whilst searching for some old photo's, I came across a book entitled
"A Home Of Our Own"
Longley and Southey Estates 60 yeas of Community Life.

This was published in 1988 by the Longley and Southey local history group and is a brief history of the area from the 1920's onwards.

Below are the last few paragraphs relating to Southey Green School which incidently opened in August 1931.

"Mr. Raymond Kay retired in 1964 after forty years service as a Sheffield teacher. Twenty of those years were spent as headmaster at Southey Green.

M. Lupton became the new headmaster and took over the responsibility of four hundred and seventy four pupils. By that date the school had become a High school and Mr.Webster, the deputy- head, organised a Youth Action Group for boys and girls in the fourth year, they performed an admirable servive for local penshioners by shopping, painting and gardening for them.

Plans were finally laid in 1966 to supply much needed dining room facilities, changing rooms and showers, which were finally completed in1968. Before then meals had to be taken in classrooms with plastic clothes laid across the desks.

As part of the curriculum, visits were made to outside establishments including Treeton colliery, British Steel Corporation, British Rail and police and fire stations.

By September 1969 children were given the opportunity of transferring to comprehensive school. In April 1970 only one hundred and forty six pupils remained on the school roll. In july the secondary Modern school closed and the staff were re-deployed.

The Middle school which had been formed in 1969 took over the existing Secondary school accommodation.

No doubt children still benefit from the sound beginnings and traditions of this fine school."

I whole heartedly agree with the last sentence.

I went on many of the visits above, well it was an afternoon off school after all.

thanks again for your time pietro

I left in 1976. Bumped into Mr Chambers about a month ago. I remembered him (he's no beard now) and he remembered me! Totally amazing given not seen him for nearly 30 years! He's retired now (still in his 50's) and is looking and doing very well. His wife is still teaching at a school in Derbyshire. Great fella.

Southey Green Juniors and Seniors

I'm trying to track down any class photos (groups) from the 1960's.
I have contacted the school without success, tried the local studies and also the archives, no luck.

So any ex pupils or teaching staff of this fine establishment out there, can you help!

My sisiters and I would love to have gone to Southey Green school, we lived within 5 min walk from there, mon sent us to St Patricks instead.

Is that nice playground still in Southey Green , it was kind of down in a hill, it had two entrances to it. ?

Do you mean "Jacksons Playground" across the road from St. Leonards Church?

Don't recall a church right opposit it, one further down near piper close where we lived, walking down from the bus stop it was on the right, down in like a valley and you could get in it from the other street.

Hi, poppins.
I think wer'e talking about the same playground. It was on the corner of Herries Avenue and Everingham Road just up the road from St. Leonards Church, a couple of minutes walk away from Piper Close.

Sadly its now gone, built over in the last few years for new housing.

Take a look at the link below, does it ring any bells?

Is it where the new bungalows are or the grass outside the church on Everingham.

Cycleracer,

99% sure, its where the new bungalows are, on that pointed bit of land. I only vaguely remember it myself, I was from the other side of Southey Green.

The bus from town we use to catch sometimes said Southey Green Via Nether Edge, cannot remember nether edge, is it part of Southy Green ?

Poppins,

Nether Edge is on the south side of the city, it's where the No. 97 bus (Southey Green) started from.

The book "A Home of our Own" is out of print (my copy has found a new home in Australia). It has many photos of the area from the 1930's to 60's. There are quite a few of the old swimming pool when it was opened in the 30's by Derek Dooley.

There was also an earlier book titled "It Was All Fields Then" which covered the area of Southey and Longley before the estates where built, (I am still searching for a copy).

Your best source for photos of Southey and Longley is still:

Are you sure you don't mean the 50s or 60s? Derek Dooley was born in 1929, so he would have been nobbut a nipper in the 30s.

I'm hoping to see a copy of the book later today, I will check it out.

I attended the Junior School at Southey 1955-61

I am struggling to remember the teachers at that time.

I lived on North Hill Road .

Great playground and grassed area - ideal for footy as I recall.

Anyone out there with a better memory ?

Chris M says; I am struggling to remember the teachers at that time.

Chris, Do any of these ring a bell.

Miss E.M Smith (retired 1964)
Mrs. Pattinson (Headteacher)
Miss Tew, Miss Gregory, Miss Mc Grath.
Mr Knowles, Mr Roebuck, Mr Senior, Mr Ellaby, Mr Shufflebottom.

All junior staff I believe.

You're absolutely right mojo. checked the book, got my dates mixed up.

Longley open air pool was opened 2 September 1938. Mrs Dooley would'nt let young Derek have the day off school, so it fell to the local doctor, his wife and others to perform the opening.

In the book there's a photo of D. Dooley (1950's), competing in a water polo match between Wednesday and United. (score unknown)

Thanks Pietro

Pattison,Tew,Roebuck and Senior all now come to mind.

Senior - he was the sums teacher.

I also recall that a handbell was rung at the end of dinnertimes
and "playtime".

Borrowd the two books I mentioned from Sheffield Libraries on Monday, I will be returning them to Southey library at the end of the week if your interested.

Chris M

I can't remember who taught what to be honest. I found the names going through Sheffield Archives a few weeks ago. Can you remember when you where in the juniors, the seniors (boys) doing cross country running on the roof of the school with the P.E teacher.

I attended Southey Green School from 1977-79 then moved to Chaucer School. I was in the girls netball team at Southey Green School usually playing GA or GS. Anyone else in the same team at the same time? I think we were quite a good team from what I can remember. Unfortunately did'nt carry on with netball when I moved to Chaucer.

I went to southey 1960 to 1970,played c/forward for school side,remember beating shirecliffe 1-0 in Sandersons trophy final,1966,good years Imust admit.other lads include K'Turner,Pete Stancill,Peter Pollard John Bettison and John Hill.

I attended the junior school from 1947 - 1953.

Teachers I remember, Miss Dewsnap, headmistress, Cynthia Raynor, Jean Peerus, my favourite, Mr. Senior, Miss Smith, Mr. Pinkerton, and Mr. Roebuck. There was also an ex RAF pilot, who enjoyed telling about the tin plate in his leg, installed after a crash during the war. He brought a bunch of comics to give to us as bribes for working harder. Remember the clinic and the regular visits to the dentist for check ups, and worse.

think i actually remember you ginger.my name is brian wise now living in nerja (east of malaga). was there around 1964 for 2 years then went to firth park. anyone remember mr aizlewood
gym +maths i think,was well handy with size 13 slipper. also mr headley with the float at sutherland road baths on swimming days(mr scott i think was swim instructor @ baths.)always managed to get free tickets for blades games from hedley,and sometimes for the other team to see them loose.only ever bumped into one person from there +that was leon smith in josephines one nite. i actually worked on door there for a few winters.my mates daughter is a teacher there now and it sounds pretty rough.

actually did used to see one other person a lot ,richard foulkes(school goalkeeper).always down town and in josies where i always was (socially).he actually blades 3rd team goalie spot for a while with tom mcallister

i went to southey school in the mid 80's i remember us winning the loxley football trophy in last year there. ashley burgin was our top striker. it was only 6 a side so only the best got into the 1st team and luckily i was one. year 3 also won the league the same year they had good players too like danny howden and ben rees. what a year it was for southey green.

I live just down the road from Southey Green School, if none of you have it this is the link to their website Southey Green School (http://www.southeygreen-junior.ik.org/)
Just click anywhere on the page and it will take you to the main links

Spoke to my elder cousin who says a girl called susan mcdnald(lived other side of you)died.

I went there in 1934 if that helps,there was a water garden in the middle of the area and classrooms all round. Parsons cross was just started but we used to walk across to Ecclesfield.

Yes those names seem to ring a bell. I would'nt know the neaves we moved from #23 in about 1960-61 to Hackenthorpe, i hated it it was too quiet after living at the top of the hill, the old Leyland buses changed gear right in front of our house.
If anyone is interested there will be a Southey Green school reunion on the 27 May at The Tavellers Inn, Ecclesfield from 3pm to 6 pm, it could not be held at the school because of constuction

Graham Wyatt

Teachers such as Boris Cooper,Mr Hooper, Mr Paul Bishop( superb), Mr Green, Mrs (copy these 4 blackboards) Rowley, Mr Hedley( what a ****),Mr Furniss,Mr Howe, Mr Webster,Mrs Carr,Miss Paramore.

Hi i went to southey green and left in 75/76 yrs.

I was also at sg, started inthe infants in 1950 and went thro to the seniors eventually leaving in 1962 after taking my GCE's. My name was Christine Wilde and I am hopefully doing another re union some time this year.

Does anyone remember a little girl called Dawn Morley who went to Southey in the 60s? I often think about her because she was badly bullied at times and Id love to know if she is having a good life, she certainly deserves one.

I know Im going off at a tangent but while were on the subject of Southey Green I had an Auntie and Uncle who lived there, William ( Bill) & Agnes Hutchinson, Im not sure on my cousin's names but Bill & Agnes would be in there late 80s now, long shot but any one know them or know of them.
Any info would be gratefully appreciated.I think I may know of them, did they live on the corner of Dryden rd/Dryden drive and at one stage own a massive German Shepard

Here is a photo of the teachers of Southey Green School. Does this bring any memories. Who are the teachers?

thanks

david,i remember your family very well,in fact,we knocked about together,along with bowers,gills and caldwells.

she got bullied cos she was really lippy at school,she used to hang around with a group of "teds" when she left school,becoming a bit of a bully herself,i remember her marrying a guy called jeff bunting,and seeing her in the broughton,bullying a woman called anj wigfield,a large lady,with a heart of gold. what made it worse was the fact everyone knew that anj had taken dawn in when her first husband had battered her,kicked her out in the clothes she had on,and wouldn,t let her take any of her belongings. like you,i used to have a degree of sympathy for her,but after seeing her behaviour that night....

http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj236/sydneyozz/thumbImage.jpg

I left in '65 and my guess is that this pic is about 10 years before.
Front centre is Mr Kay the head to his left is Mr "boris" Cooper who was a bit strict but nevertheless I had a great deal of admiration for him. Back row far right is Mr Green the woodwork teacher. Middlle row far right is the pshyco bully Derek Hedley , he thought he was Gods gift, look at the P***. I think the lady behind Mr Kay is Mrs Carr-history. I'm wondering if the chap in the top left of the pic is Paul Bishop- English, I cant be sure. Bish was my hero, very funny and a great teacher.

I left in 1970,wasn't hedley maths/pe teacher?

Anyone remember the Head teacher Mrs Pattinson or Pattison from the mid 60s? It was my first year and I fondly remember her ranting up and down the front row of assembly, where we had to sit cross legged on the floor, making us sing "All things bright and beautiful" as she slapped kids around the head at random! She used us as a sort of Xylophone and I remember each kid wailing after his or her slap.
Of course, the more kids she slapped, the more cried, and the less singing there was, and that only made her rant around faster and slap more and more kids.
I was 4th row back so I was out of range, but I made damn sure that I didnt get the first two front rows after that.

I left in 1970,wasn't hedley maths/pe teacher?

Yes maths and pe although Mr Cooper had us for maths. Hedley was also our form tutor one year. I dont know anyone who had a good word for him he was just a lazy bully who never got involved in anything you were doing. Just ''heres some work to do, get on with it.'' Presumably he had much more important things to be getting on with instead of teaching.

I was only there in the secondary school, We came up from Lindsay Rd juniors. I was at Southey from '61 to '65.

Bloody hell thats a shock! For years Ive been worrying about her because of the trouble she got at school all because her clothes were a bit shabby but it looks like she grew into a holy terror.

I wonder if the bullying had anything to do with how she turned out.

I was only there in the secondary school, We came up from Lindsay Rd juniors. I was at Southey from '61 to '65.

I remember when a school shut down and all the kids came from there to Southey but it had to be later than 65, more like 68 or 9.
I cant remember the name of that school now.

No, most of Lindsay pupils went on to Southey year on year as Lindsay had no Secondary. Unless they passed 11 plus then they went to redcaps.

yes mate, i remember patto well,in fact,she only died recently,musta been in her 90,s,she was always ok with me,the one exception being when julie knight was on the verge of fainting in assembley,stood between mark beyer and myself,patto waded in,knocking mark and me flying,then came into miss tews class later to reprimand us both. do you remember miss hill from the infants??? i remember miss saint,miss turner,mrs worrall,mrs mcgrath,miss tew,mr rann,mr senior,mr roebuck,mr gower,lupton,gillard,prichard,cummings,miss selby,mr pattison,miss griffin,mr drake,miss long,miss messer,who for some religious reason never came to assembly,mrs carney,mrs sykes(cyclops), fred briggs the caretaker,mr powdrill before him,mrs rodley,mrs mortimer(dinner ladies),mrs pagdin,however,i cant recall the teachers name who was the 3rd year teacher in the infants,nor mrs saints maiden name,its old age you know!!!!

God theres some memories there! I remember Mark Beyer and Miss Tew, didnt she always wobble about the place for some reason?
I remember the other teachers, especially Mrs Cummings- she was brilliant as was Mr Gillard and miss selby- didnt she marry a teacher I despised? a bloke also patterson? He was a bully and a half. Mrs Messer was Jewish and never had a christmas tree up in her class, she told me once that she and her family had escaped from Nazi Germany.
Do you remember Mr Shufflebotham? He had one of the wooden sheds with the model airplanes hanging form the cielings if I remember rightly.
I remember Gillard too, he was the last teacher I had before I left to go to chaucer, I remember his nose bleeding every day, Im sure he used to pick the bugger when no one was looking.
Mr Drake, I remember falling and breaking my arm and no one believing it was broken and Drakey grabbed it and gave it a twist to prove it wasnt broken. The look on his face the next day when I went in with a plaster cast on my arm, I thought he was going to die :D


Trying to remember mrs saints maiden name... god I remember when she got married- we all put pennies together to buy her something and the teachers joined in and got her a silver gravy pot thing.
Im buggered if I can remember her maiden name though, thats gonna drive me mad now.

right again re:- miss selby,she married bully boy patterson,my once swung me round and bounced me down on the stage,a friday afternoon it was,my mother went up,but he had took a class to the skates,anyway,she got him monday morning,as he grabbed me coming into school,uttering the immortal words"I want a word with you!"
my mother grabbed his arm and shouted"YES,and i want a word with YOU! Are YOU this PATTERSON???" then proceeded to humiliate him in front of his very amused class. I remember old shufflebotham and his wife,she took cookery,they were geordies.I always thought messer was a jehovas witness,but the jew thing would fit better,and thinking about it,i would say your right..funny aint it,we used to pass each other in the street,never exchanging a hiya,but spend ages on here reminiscing.

Patterson once dragged me around the classroom by the hair, smashing my head into the desks and cupboards as he went, all because I didnt draw a perfectly straight margin up the side of the page one day. My insane brother in law, you might know him Norman Knight offered to go up to the school and tan his hide for me but my mother wouldnt let him go.

I saw Patterson outside the peace gardens years later when I was 18, I was staggering from one boozer to another and he was standing watching the xmas lights.

The bloke was hard as nails with an eleven year old, but not so hard when a drunken, foaming at the gob 18 year old popped up and tried to bite his face off :D


Its bloody annoying, all those years hardly talking to anyone from the cross because I was so busy, and now I buggered off out of Sheffield there are bloody hundreds Id like to sit and chat to over a pint or 30.

i know,im in the same situation,so old normans your brother in law eh?? i put him sum tats on years ago.

Yeah hes my bro in law, I havent seen the bugger for years but I heared that hes in dock having a heart op, my sis phoned me last night for the first time in a couple of years and told me.

I went to Southey Green School from 1957 - 1961. I remember some of the teachers Boris Cooper for one. Who was the science teacher at that time anyone remember. I used to hate Mrs Carr. Classmates were John Cooper, Peter Bradshaw, Arnold Lilley,
June Hutchinson, Vivienne Pearson. Can anyone remember any of them.
Used to live on Southey Hall Road.

did june live on buchanan in a 4 bedroomed house across from the shops??

No I think June lived on Southey Green Road, at the end near Longley Park

any one remember Irene Weaver or Pearl Weaver.....??

I went there in 1934 and left in 1938, years later i worked as a painter and decorator and the boss gave me the job of painting the railings. My 2 helpers were both retarded so the boss said, " start one at one end and the other at the other end so they don't start throwing paint at each other ". They couldn't be trusted to mash so I went to do it, when I got back they were both covered from head to foot in green paint laughing their heads off.

There used to be a garden in the middle where the teacher told me to keep my pet tortoise during school hours.

Anyone remember a kid called Melvyn Reynolds? He was at Southey in the mid 60s but flitted and I lost touch with him, I often wonder how his life turned out.

as an old pupil of southey green school,i would be most interested in any details of a school re-union,its not just the ladies who are invited is it???

all are welcome at the re unions but we have to specify years EG 1945-1965 to keep the numbers manageable. If you take the saturday star and look at the contact column I usually request a paragraph there to let folks know where & when. I hope to get one organised for around October time (that is if I can get myself organised)

i always get the star on saturday,and always have a look in the contact column,so i will now be extra vigilant,are you any relation to the wildes from buchanan?

hi
yes i now your famliy. i was in the class with one off your sisters.

sheila. she would now me by my surmame. taylor .

I lived in Longley in the 60s, Piper Close, I loved it,, my best friend on the street was Mary White, she came from a very poor family, I always wondered what happend to her, Sandra Longdon was our next door neighbor, another good friend.

I Couldn't believe my eyes when I came across this message board . I went to Southey Green in 1965 - 1969 and my name is Steve Beatson now living in Melbourne Australia . Hope Malagablade [ Brian Wise ] might remember me we were in the same form for those 2 years he was there . Mr Lupton was Headmaster, Mr Webster and Mrs Carr were Deputies . Anyone remember Mrs Rowley's notched cane at the back of the blackboards never saw her use it once . Didn't Mr Northcliffe and Mr Hukin get their Wives at the school

Not THE Steve Beatson who lived on Palgrave?

Not in Palgrave but just around the corner in Meynell Cresent . Had the shocking experience yesterday of realising next year will be 40 years since we left ! I've been out here in Australia for 28 years now

Not in Palgrave but just around the corner in Meynell Cresent .
Palgrave is close enough for me, it is over 40 years since I was last at your house ....... never was any good at geography even though I was in the same class as you.
Mrs Rowley (top of the 3 steps, turn right), always reminded me of Margaret Lockwood the actress ....... I sat on the corridor side, next to the big pile of well thumbed National Geographics on the windowsill ....... which strangely always fell open on the page of the South Pacific Islands and the bare breasted islanders.

The year after to Mr Hukin's class .......... happy days indeed! :hihi:

Ah Mrs Rowley ! When we got back to class after lunch she was allways at the window with a fag in her mouth and then flick it into the quad or garden whatever that place was when we started coming in .Remember if nobody could be bothered to answer a question she would grab your hair shake your head and say is anything in there . As for the National Geographics was it Mr Furness the science teacher who use to put movies on after school one night a week and we learned a lot about those Ladies in Africa !!

Did we ever have any class photo's taken I can't remember?

hi


no i dont think we did.

hi


no i dont think we did.

Hi.

Are you related to Raymond Clarkson by any chance? I cant remember if he went to Southey but he was my buddy at Chaucer.

hi


no i dont think we did.
To Joy

Regards the school photos ...... I have around half a dozen photos from the mid 40's to the late 1950's, showing various members of staff and pupils plus the school dog? ....... send me a PM (private message) with your e-mail address and I will pass them on to you.

Did we ever have any class photo's taken I can't remember?

We certainly did Steve ........ I remember being rounded up on more than one occasion for a class photo in the top playground, outside Mr Websters classroom, not that I can ever remember seeing the results.
A few years ago I went back to the school and had a search through the storerooms and managed to find a few pre 1960 photos but none from my time, I've also searched through the Sheffield Archives but no luck.

Regards Mr Furness (science) he did show after school films ....... the ones that stick in my mind where silent french films (the directors name escapes me) and for a time he ran an ill fated after school chess club!

and then we had Mr Hedley and his side kick Mr Aizlewood with his over enlarged adams apple, who if I rember right had a thing for the biology teacher who taught in the whitewashed huts, Miss E ....... remember?

Hi.

Yes we did I remember now, some had to stand on the forms as a back row and wasn't there a netball pitch marked out in that area?
Don't quote me on the spelling but the Biology teacher was a Miss Eatough and we the boys that is used to rush to get the front desk because she had a habit ofsitting on hers and what a nice set of legs she had ! If Iremember rightly she got married and then left.
Steve

The top playground ........ was it just for girls, I can't remember. There was netball pitch marked out and some other lines that I never fathomed out!

There was the girls outside toilets as you walked in, connected by a canopy, these are now an office for the clerical staff, and to your left the stairs that led to Luptons office with his "stop, go" lights and buzzers. The chaps name that escapes you who played the piano, took gardening for the C and D classes was ........ Mr Gower.

mr gower...he once slippered mick curley, we were totally shocked when curley wriggled free from his grasp,stood upright and shouted" bo@@@x ba*@!?d".....so was mr gower,who then proceeded to lecture a sniggering classroom about the decline in morals.
The year was 1971.What would he think about the world today.

I went to Southey School from 1958 to 1962, then I left to go to work at Banners in the offices. I was in Mr Gowers class also Mr woddem's and Miss Needle took us for P.E and domestic science. The person that played the piano for dancing class was Mrs Clarke. I can't ever remember having any group photos taken ,but i'm going back a long time

I was also there at that time but was probably in the year above as I stayed on to take O levels. We did have group photos taken and I do have some of the netball team & the prefects of 1962 but I don't think class photos were taken at that time.The school has a great collection of photos which we saw when I arranged a visit following the last re union.

Do you know any of these people that were in my class.I have tried to contact them on Face book with no joy. Janet Molloy, Irene Duncan they were my best friends at school.Also in my class were Pat Flint,Terry Benson Gerald cotton, Arthur Coles to mention a few.

Does anyone remember Robert, Jim and Marilyn Jackson? They were at southey at around the mid 50s to mid 60s.

They were my siblings and I started there in the mid 60s after they left.

Hello, just found your site which brought back many school memories. Anyone remember the Marshalls from Falstaff Crescent ? I'm Alan Marshall, one of the 14 kids living next door to the Woodhouses. I went to Southey and left in 1964 and went to school with Ron Jackson, Roger Keys. I remember 'Pop' Kay the headmaster, Mr Cooper, Maths teacher, Headley-PE teacher who liked to use the slipper ! I also remember Mrs Carr the history teacher who I thought was okay. I've been living in Australia with my wife since 1973 but always visit the area and look at the school. My twin sister still lives on Launce Rd. Looking on Google Earth, saw that all the houses on and around Falstaff have been knocked down - what a difference and what a shame.

i used to knock about with your michael,are you the brother who was the teacher,or is that ken? i also worked with your tony at fred hartleys ,hillsborough,in the late 70,s.....77 if im correct,i still see your christine from time to time,and on rare occasions,your mick.
yes,there are only about 5 houses still standing there,a few more left on buchanan though,including the one where i was brought up.

Good to hear from you okismoki. No, I became a carpenter and am self employed. Our Ken was thinking of teaching but didn't in the end and our Tony lives in Luton. Our Mick hasn't been well but after an op. is improving thank goodness. Christine is my twin sister and there are still 10 of us "kids" left from the 14 - I'm the only one in Sydney - did you live in Melbourne with your family and then go back again ? Australia's a long way from Southey eh ?

Where exactly would I find that playground had it been here today.
Is it where the new bungalows are or the grass outside the church on Everingham.

If you stood on the corner of Herries Ave. and Everingham, at the apex of the triangle. You would be looking straight over onto the playground. The entrance was just past the last house on everingham. Maybe 10-15 yards past. You the went down a short drive and into what was the bottom right of the playground as viewed from Herries Ave. The playground "Minder" at the time I went there with the mates was a bloke called Brian. I believe he lived on the corner of Southey Hill(just above the Magnet pub) and Dryden something? He was an unreconstructed fascist. And would gleefully talk Hitler up and the Jews down. This was slightly ironic, as he was definately disabled(weedy build, stooped round shoulders, pidgeon chest etc) and couldn`t walk that well either!

We used to hang around at his little "office" at the right hand side of the shelter. He used to use his bony elbows to good effect if things were getting out of hand.

anyone remember the head teacher mrs pattinson or pattison from the mid 60s? It was my first year and i fondly remember her ranting up and down the front row of assembly, where we had to sit cross legged on the floor, making us sing "all things bright and beautiful" as she slapped kids around the head at random! She used us as a sort of xylophone and i remember each kid wailing after his or her slap.
Of course, the more kids she slapped, the more cried, and the less singing there was, and that only made her rant around faster and slap more and more kids.
I was 4th row back so i was out of range, but i made damn sure that i didnt get the first two front rows after that.

vaguely remember her she married mr pattison who was a teacher there

yes mate, i remember patto well,in fact,she only died recently,musta been in her 90,s,she was always ok with me,the one exception being when julie knight was on the verge of fainting in assembley,stood between mark beyer and myself,patto waded in,knocking mark and me flying,then came into miss tews class later to reprimand us both. Do you remember miss hill from the infants??? I remember miss saint,miss turner,mrs worrall,mrs mcgrath,miss tew,mr rann,mr senior,mr roebuck,mr gower,lupton,gillard,prichard,cummings,miss selby,mr pattison,miss griffin,mr drake,miss long,miss messer,who for some religious reason never came to assembly,mrs carney,mrs sykes(cyclops), fred briggs the caretaker,mr powdrill before him,mrs rodley,mrs mortimer(dinner ladies),mrs pagdin,however,i cant recall the teachers name who was the 3rd year teacher in the infants,nor mrs saints maiden name,its old age you know!!!!wow what a memory but you just brought my days at sgs all back i remember most of these and i lived on the same rd as mrs rodley lovely lady

Left in 1969, never seen anyone who I was at school with since, they must all be doing time.

I remember the french teachers name as Nortcliffe used to have the only classroom upstairs. The headteachers name I thought was Lupton, very tall guy or am I mistaking him with the junior school. Wally webster was our form teacher, also taught maths, great guy liked him a lot, was fond of uing the cane, his catchphrase which he was fond of using was "BY JINGO"[/B].

A few other teachers names I remember are Mrs. Gregory (geography?), Bishop(english?),Hukin who I believe only retired a couple of years ago as a head of another Sheffield school.
Do you remember the annual compulsary cross country run around the perimeter of Longley Park, there was no escape for anyone, even with a note from your mum.

Now they seem great days, so long ago, its a shame about the area around the school.
Great memories.

I think that you're right about Gowers, I also think that Miss Marshall, the art teacher is stood next to Hedley on the far right/centre. This photo looks like mid 50's to me, as most of the teachers look a little younger than I remember.(Which puts some of the older ones, about my age now........which is a bit scary :( )

Recognise Mrs Carr Mr Senior Mr Gowers and Mr Kay ..good memories..

Hello Maureen. I left Southey Green Secondary in Aug. 1961.
Our family moved away from that area in 1963.
The people I knew from that area I lost touch with when we moved.

Mr Gower prided himself on having a selction of canes if I`m correct. One of which was filled with Lead believe it or not!

Hedley was a B*****D and a bully. In the playground he would make all the lads line up, touch shoulders etc. Then stand and wait for a muttering from the assembled lads. As soon as he heard this he would ask the culprit/s to give themselves up. Fat chance! After giving them maybe a minute or two, he would order us all into the school hall. There we would have to bend over and he would go down the lines formed cracking everyones arses with a PE slipper.
Did anyone on here witness this? Probably be the lasses, as the lads were all bent over having their arses walloped.

I remember Boris was very keen on shoes being polished to a mirror shine. I started in the annexe classrooms at the bottom of the site. The class I was in typically had Mr Gower and on the other end of the annexe was Miss Tarpy.
With whom Mr Gower was having a relationship, in the sundries cupboard between the classrooms.
