I recall that after the new 6th Form Center was completed, several girl students arrived in 1971 for the "Lower Sixth" year and likewise for my "Upper Sixth" and final year there of 1972. My original post of "1965 to 1971 at Rowlinson" was incorrect and should have been "1965 to 1972 at Rowlinson" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
YorkieontheTyne 188 #56 Posted March 30, 2023 Started there in 68. Worst years of my life. They spent 5 miserable years trying to teach me how to use a slide rule. Here I am approaching retirement and haven’t had one single occasion when I’ve needed to use one! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Aussie man 10 #57 Posted April 6, 2023 Noddy Johnson was my form teacher in 1961, Mr. Glover for P.E. or Mr. Ransom. Mr. Kay principal Mr. Smart Chemistry. Only went there for a couple of years, came later on from another town, didn't achieve anything academically as the damage had already been done. loved the school and wished that I had been there from the start of my senior education. played football, cricket and athletics for the school and ran the fastest 800 meters, the record stood for a number of years after I left.
