Herries School

Recommended Posts

Me my sister and brother went to herries! My sister was there from 83 to 88. i was there from 89 to 93 and my brother from 90 to 94!

 

The air dome was good! Shame that it had to go but times change! I've been past a few times and it's not got the same feel about it! Good old days :-)

Ahh They dont make them like Miss Smith anymore. Someone told me she ws drummed out of the S.S for cruelty. I have recently been in touch with Mr Lockwood , the (then) young English teacher. He once took us on visit to the locations where they fimed "Kes" in the old ,ramshackled school bus (ex laundry van) We were allowed to wear casual clothes for the visit, meaning jeans and T shirts. So of course, all of us girls turned up in mini skirts and high heels. Miss Smith's head nearly exploded when she clocked what we were wearing. We were banned from the outing and Mr Lockwood got a right earful. We got our own back though, when we did get to go, some of the lads opened the bus door going up Cookswood Rd and dropped the tool kit out of the back, one by one ! Happy Days. I left in '72 by the way.

Hello folks, there is a Herries School Reunion for leavers from 1983 at the Old Crown on Penistone Road on Saturday, 10th September. We have a page on Facebook if you want to have a look and catch up with us old timers now. Hope to see you there.

Hi Dave, I remember the name ! Think we may have been in the same tutor group at some point. I was in 5b and i left in '72. I used to hangout with Christine Storer and Pamela Howsen in those days if the names ring any bells ?

Ah the old airdome, I remember it really well, (86-90) what a crazy thing, so many repaired patches where people sliced into it with knives etc, lol. Used to play 5 a side in there for games. Was like going into a space station with that air lock, funny (and scary)if the doors were left open, prob closed due to health and safety:|

 

Loved it though!
