Sister Josephine-- what a terror she seemed to be for anyone who didnt do what they were told:suspect:. In fact she was a lovely person who i knew had a heart as big as a bucket:)- more like her in schools today and the kids would be more capable when they left:

 

i totally agree

I went to St Peters Sec Mod between 1965 and 1969. The Headmaster was Mr Charles Martin (Charlie to us pupils!). I can only remember the first name of the Deputy Headmaster as being Bernard. Mr Martin always used to stand in the front of the hall at morning assembly with his thumbs behind his braces. My teachers were: The mad, sadistic Sister Josephine who mercifully didn't put me off the film The Sound of Music by playing it at every music lesson(!), Sister Veronica (Needlework) who was lovely, Mr Prophet and Mr Anyon (Science), Miss Kerrigan (Music), Jim McNerney (History), Frank Farmery (English and Form Teacher), Mr Cherry, Mr Dodds (Maths), Mrs Dodds (PE) and Mr Pearson (Jed to us pupils!). I can also remember one occasion when practically the whole school was caned for being out of bounds when we waved goodbye to the Royal Marines who had visited us!

Just a thought, but were there any "old"pupils that left St Peters who became "well known" in later years??

I can't think of anyone who used to go to St Peters who went on to be famous. However, I did once appear on Calendar back in the 1990s! Unfortunately, I don't think anyone I knew saw it!

Went up to see what was left of the school the other day. Was very sad to see an overgrown wasteground where St Peters was. Colley Road School also gone! When I searched Sheffieldpictures site, they were calling St Peters the old Colley Road School site - was gobsmacked - and annoyed. How could they do such a thing as call St Peters Colley Road? How very dare they?! It was bad enough that they changed it to Parson Cross College!

yes it's sad what happened to the school the last i heard it was a college then it got knocked down.
