Jordanthorpe school 1965 - 1969.

[Rugby - 1 10]

Alan Wragg, what is yours, your not going to say John Sumner, I worked with John after leaving school, but probably know all the names still.

 

I was trying to get copies of the rugby team photos during the same period, I was probably not so nice in those days, good job I decided to get educated and calm down.

I did not know Sellars wife was a teacher at all, he was very strange guy bouncing along every time he walked, but harmless.

I remember Mr Sellars. He was a great teacher, a bit off the wall but loads of patience with those less able than others.

[andrejuan 10]

Was Mr Sellars a teacher at Jordanthorpe School?

I am looking for a teacher called Walter Sellars, whose wife was a teacher too. I am told he was a little excentric!

 

There was a Mr Sellars years later when I went. He was a little odd but nice enough as I remember. One day he turned up on the bus, I asked him where

his car was and he told me that it was being mended. He had been putting a pint of oil in the engine every time he put petrol because he thought that's

what you should do :-)

HI All,

 

I was at Jordanthorpe from 1961 to 1965, I remember the teachers, especially the head Mr Adams, went to his office a few times. My buddies were the Parkin twins Maurice and Norman, Steve Appleyard, Steve Ducker.

Some class mates Keith Hastings, went out with Sandra Horley for quite sometime. I remember we had a great football team. I have lived in Manchester for the last 30 years, but occasionally get back, when I pass the old place and Low Edges estate brings back memories.

Wow.. what a blast to read these threads.. I was at Jordanthorpe till 1966 then emigrated to Aus. I remember all the teachers listed especially Ivor Haythorn and Titty Waite oh and the slipper from Mr. Newton!!! Anyone heard from Glyn Thomas, Peter Scandrett, Gordon Otter??? Others I remember in my class were Ivan Swan, Chris Woolace.

Good morning, I remember all these, I worked at TC Harrison, Maurice and Normans' mum worked on the pumps.

I moved to Autoways and played for the football team, so did Steve Ducker.

I was at Jordanthorpe  sec mod from 1963 to 67. My first year was at the annex in Greenhill village.  When I left in 67 I was in 4x2 I think the teachers name was Mr Prior ? and pop Adams was head and his deputy was Mr Rook.
