Bents green school memories

Fiona. I have sent you 2 pm's, (one was too long!). Mike.

Hi Mike -S

I can remember the terrapins and the common room opening in the old house but can't remember the dining room being in there but it must have been as I vaguely remember everyone being moved into the new dining room at some point.

I remember the play, it was the same one I was thinking about, I remember Dad saying you'd all excelled yourselves and how brilliant it was and the bit about the lighting rings a bell too.

Will be glad when I can PM as I have quite a few photos from the school (mainly of pupils) that I would like to share but not sure if it would be appropriate to put them into the public domain.

Your friends with the caravan seem familiar, think they may have known Dad better than me maybe from church, sure I remember him mentioning their name.

Don't worry about the length of the messages, I am the worst person for long e mails and txts.

We are still on the Moor, I went back and visited BGS a couple of times but it was usually in the evening when we had been in the area for some reason and just called in on the off chance, think my last visit was about 10 years ago. The buildings were still the same then but the new part was starting to look a bit worse for wear.

i went to Bents Green school or Bents Green Open Air School as knew it. I went around 1947/48. I seem to remember teacher called Miss Inch. We had to have a sleep in the afternoon, we slept on strechers which was stacked in the flat roof class rooms. Some where in early summer, we had an open day where parents came and we put on a display, while I was there I took part in a Maypole dance. alfred rd

Hello skelwith kid, yes I was a pupil of Bents Green School but I started in September 2004 until November 2006.

Bents Green School is still there and it has undergone a huge transformation since 2011

Hopefully, if you're on Facebook then I would like to become friends with you

Pupil 92 to 95. Best school I ever went to & figured out why I was such a pain as a kid.

Went passed it the other day & boy has it changed & looks amazing.

Mr Hunter the sports teacher did a lot for me! Wonder what he's up to now days!

Hello Davey1981, if you have a Facebook Account then I really do want to become friends with you!

For a while in 85/86 I worked in the residential house, mainly working pm shifts with the kids providing activities after school.

We took a group canoeing to Rother Valley one time-they nearly drown me but was such fun, we had fabluous snowball fights in winter and the end of term disco's were fab!

It was great being with the kids there, an honour and a priveledge to help them into adult-hood-some really good, happy memories xx

I was a resident around that time I remember we would go out after school all the time

I was at Bents Green from 1981 - 86 and some of the teachers on the list were still there when I started. I remember Mr Heward, Mrs Rowland, Mr Kirkham, Mrs Stone, Mrs Kimber and Mrs Seddon from that list. The headteacher when I was there was Norman Elliott. Other teachers I remember were Mrs Greaves (nee Godbehere), Mr Nicolson, Mrs Demengel (spelling?) Mr Crooks, Mrs Bagshaw

I was at school same time as this

Hi all, Seem to have lost touch with a few of the pals who attended the reunion we had a few years ago, since the demise of friends reunited. Be nice to arrange another one for next year, have a look at the new school if they'll let us in!. Anyone from any era would be welcome, perhaps as last time meet up in the Hammer & pincers and then saunter up the road for a look round. Anyone interested please let me know and i'll set the ball rolling. Mike.

Hi all. Just been given the really sad news that Brenda Seddon has passed away. I'm sure many of you from the 60s/70s will remember her wonderful work as school secretary, she was like a second mum to many of us. Pam Evans (Nicholson) and I kept in touch with Brenda, she had been ill for a number of years. RIP.

Hi everybody from Bents Green school. I went there in 1969 till 1971. I suffer from epalispy. The headmaster at that time was Mr Bailey. He was very pleasent and a understandind man to talk to. I made a lot of friends including a little boy called Timmy. If you were there please send me a e mail on avrilbowman@yahoo.co.uk. Talk to you later. AVRIL BOWMAN
