I attended between 1961 till1965, opposite the annexed there was a sweet shop, it belonged to the Munks, their son Dave played for Sheffield UTD. I remember Sibley, he was in the library.Helliwell was the woodwork teacher, in my last year Haythorne was the form teacher, he knocked about with Miss Waite, I believe he later married her, he was very strange.

Ivor Hawthorne, would you believe he is still around, he is a minister at Mablethorpe.

Hi

 

Yes, I though the 'Pirates of Penzance' concert had been in summer 1972 also. That would fit in with my timing.

Something must've altered, because I remember Mr.Sibley roaming around the school library - did he teach Geography as a subject? - for a few years, and I didn't start at J school until after the winter of '62...think he was there for a few years after that.

I remember seeing him 'kitted up' and in town waiting for the Bakewell/Hathersage/wherever bus to go hiking.

Nice bloke - I liked him a lot, but my favourite teacher was 'Chalky' White...I thought he was brilliant. No longer with us, I suppose...

I quite agree. I was there from 62 and Mr. Sibley was there too for a few years.

Does anyone still have Jordanthorpe memorabilia,  blazer badge, tie,  scarf, school song or school moto?

Please get in touch I'd be grateful. 

Steve Hastings.

I went to Jordanthorpe when it first opened in 1953 when Greenhill County school and Woodseats  school were amalgamated to Jordanthorpe  Mr Adams was the headmaster and I always remember he ruled with an iron fist .
