I attended Marlcliffe 1955-1960 (Rivelin). I remember Mr Littlewood who taught Maths (Geometry) as we had a different teacher for Algebra. Mr Anderson who taught Geography in the three storey extension who was a good but not likeable teacher. Mrs Scowcroft who was disabled drummed History into our heads. Captain Outram took us for Physical Training (PT) which was mainly circuit training and very arduous. Mrs Whitby taught English Literature and put me off Shakespeare for life. Sam Outram whom I think was the Captain’s brother taught Scripture and used the Bible as a text book. Mr Parkin taught us Physics and music but I didn’t learn much from him except that light flowed through the ether!! Mr Ellington? taught me Chemistry and was excellent so I can still remember the experiments we used to carry out even now. Miss Saunders who became Mrs Coates for History encouraged my love of the subject. I can’t remember my woodwork teacher or what Mrs Knott taught ( maybe French ) but I thank most of them as they have won me numerous pub quizzes after 63 years.🧑‍🎓
