I don't remember a Mr Headley but the name rings a bell

The teachers that were considered 'old school' were the likes of Mr Cook, Mr Crozier, Mr Shackleton, Mr Beaumont etc.

 

Someone mentioned that houses might be built on the old school field. That is going to prove a logistical nightmare due to the whole tunnel network under there.

An entrance was uncovered near the annexes (sp) and we went down a couple of times. Very spooky

 

My brother went to Norfolk as well. He is 34 now. He might remember some of the older names.

[Angie v 10]

If your bro is 34 then he must have left the year after me, so he must know quite a few of the older teachers, what is your brothers name, i might know him.

[vidster 10]

He is called Robert. He didn't quite make it to the end though. He liked to play the rogues part

 

He's an IT tutor now though. Norfolk must have got something right

Trophy man, did you go to school with a girl called Emma P by any chance?

Also Les do you know shaun compton or sean cramer? going on how old you are you should know them.

[Angie v 10]

What did i do wrong then, i was always a good girl, never wagged it, did all my exams, but still ended up a waster

[Angie v 10]

Mr Cook was my Form Teacher 1985 & 86, used to freak us girls out when you had to speak to him 1 on 1.

[Angie v 10]

Tell me about it ppn, i hit it nearky 6 years ago, how old are you?

[Angie v 10]

Just remembered Shauns nickname was slap head cos he had a calflick in his fringe, does that put a face to the name

[Angie v 10]

I left the year before you, in 1986, so its 20 years this year for me this year, tell you what tho, if they had a reunion tomorrow i wouldnt be going.
