What about Mrs Nimmo (sewing), and I'm trying to remember a geography teacher i had who would go to the back of the classroom open the fire door and have a crafty fag . Also trying to remember a history teachers name think it began with s , he was probably in his late 20s when i was there and if he caught you looking out of the window he would make you stand on your chair the rest of the lesson. but i thought he was a great teacher i really loved history and still do

I was at Tapton from 83 to 89.

Yeah Mr Reid would always get into tantrums.

Can't remember my form teacher, but I was learning woodwork from Mr Hook and never forget I left the chuck key in one over the upright drills and nearly killed someone when I turned it on!

Mr King was a good teacher too, sad when I heard he had passed away.

Mr Jackson - Head of 6th form

Mr Speed - Top Headmaster and geography teacher

Mr Mantle and "Felix" his big stick. Laughed my head off when he was bollocked for leaving the kids too roam around London whilst he went and watched the tennis at wimbledon!

No, was on the higher echalons of Darwin Lane at King Edwards BUT, at the same time as you. Tell me, did you go to Tapton from Lydgate? If so, I may know you.

 

I went to Tapton in 1981 - 1983 from Lydgate. Then moved to Wales High for rest of education till 1986. Remember most of teachers mentioned.

Yes I remember Mr Reid, he certainly got our attention. Not quite sure what started down that route
