Ashleigh School - Did you go there?

[expat 10]

Hi Craig,

 

I went to Ashleigh school from I think 1972 till 1978.I lived the last 18 years in Amsterdam Holland.

 

Started thinking more about the past since the birth of my son realised how much I had forgotten so now Ive started digging around in my past.

 

Dont have any family left excelpt one half sister so I am glad I found this site.Sad to hear that it doesnt exist anymore.

 

The teachers I remember were Mr Lambert I had him for German I liked him if you got him off the subject he would go off at a tanget made the lessons more fun.I paid no attention couldnt see the point of learning German years later Imarried a German woman:loopy:

 

Mr tingle who was that the name rings a bell.I had an economics teacher he was great teacher but very strict I got an olevel a minor miracle.

 

Got to go will write again soon.

Hello Craig, my brother went to Ashleigh, I think it was 1972 but he left in 1976because he had a bad accident . His nabe was Andy Proctor.. rmember him?:

I went to Ashleigh for one year (1974-75). Potts, Bolter and Higginbotham are all familiar names. How about Mrs Hanscome (spelling?) I think she was a science teacher. We also had a woodwork teacher called Williams (I think). He ran the local ATc and always called anyone who messed aroud a 'silly baby'.

 

Also our music teacher insisted on us listening to Minuetto Allegretto by the Wombles because it contained Mozart. Every Week!

Mr Lambert, he was the rather...large...french teacher wasn't he?

re Mr Lambert...I recall a certain Mark Haywood (hello Mark if you see this) calling him Mr Lamb but no bacon. Is was funny then due to the Monty Python influence. What about the 'half-period' classes with PE at the lower school and then having to leg it up to the lower school?

Hi Expat I went to Ashleigh school & left in 1976 I went to Anns Rd Junior school with Ivan Montci & I think my sister (Hazel Boulby) was in the same year as his brother Ricardo so you may know her

My brother went to Ashleigh 1980-84 and Mr Lambert was his languages teacher. Then I went to Myrtle Springs 1991-95 and the same Mr Lambert taught me in Spanish lessons. He was a lovely big, jolly man. I believe sadly he died a few years ago.

Oh heck, I'm sorry to hear about Mr Lambert....may he rest in peace...
