I left Sir Harold Jackson in 2003, while I was there we had 3 different head teachers, Mr Driscul, Mrs Connor and Mr Stockley (not sure if I spelled those right).
I remember you had to answer the register with 'dinners' or 'sandwiches' and whether you had milk or not. There were 'Milk monitors' and you all took it in turns to take the register to the head's office'
Teachers I remember, Mrs Truelove, Mrs Suter, Mrs Wildsmith, Mr Julian, Mr Bocking, Mrs Hailwood, Miss Pilley/Mrs Wales. (again, not sure if I've spelled them right). I remember once in year 6 with Mrs Wales that she made a film case explode and we all got covered in vinegar I also remember Mrs Smith who taught us cooking and sewing. Mr Barnsly the old caretaker and Mr Gore. Other teachers: Mrs Scofield, Mrs Wise, Miss Sibald, Mr Bromage, Mrs Wilkinson/watson(mrs Brindly), Mr Smith, Mrs Bainbridge..
I remember when we used to have Teams for sportsday, Scott, Ralleigh, and two others that I can't quite remember..
During my time at the school this changed to Fire, Air, Earth, and Water, you got 'team points' stickers for doing well
I remember singing in Assembly, and Mrs Freeman on the piano; and singing 'lilly the Pink' at sportsday. I sort of remember getting 'special mention' stickers or womething like that which I think 2 people in each class got in assembly whenever parents were there.. they were red and silver shiny stickers I think..
I remember Mrs Stacey, Mrs Oxendale, Mrs Robinson + Mrs Longstaff who you never saw apart, Mrs Davies the dinnerladies. I still see Mrs Davies and Mrs Oxendale around. I remember the clay pipes in the playground, the infant and junior playgrounds. The Pipes have been taken down and turned into an obsticle course in the infant play area and into huge tyres in the junior playground. The Climbing frame is still there I think! I remember the death drops on that thing.. you were the coolest in the school if you could do the 'year 6 deathdrop' which basically involved jumping off the climbing frame from a high bar
I remember school plays and the special parents assemblies. I remember sometimes we had assembly in the scout hall which was always quite exciting (for a 7year old anyway..)
I have so many memories of that school, quite sad that it's called 'Bradway Primary' now.. though it will always be 'SHJ' to me
