Hardy was there in 72 when I first started,, the games teacher. Dower was... I think he started later after Id began to wag it all the time, I only saw him once or twice, he looked like Napoleon.

dower came 73/74 time.does anyone remember metcalfe exploding with rage in an assembly,joe ketteringham was reading something out,as everyone knows,old joe used to whistle as he spoke,much to our amusement,craig wilde started echoing his whistle,old joe,being deaf,didn,t hear it ,but everyone else did,some teachers even sniggered,not BATMAN,though,he kept ALL the lads behind,telling us it was churlish,mocking our speech,our accents,all the time purple faced,spit flying eveywhere. When he,d finished,he asked if anyone was brave enough to have there say now....silence. Right....GET OUT.....ALL OF YOU. As we filed out,someone,to this day,i dont know who,ran back to the hall doors,and went derra derra derra derra BATMAN....Metcalf again started ranting for us to come back,but we all stampeded away,leaving metcalf purple and foaming at the mouth.

I was there from '63 to '68. I remember Denise Bishop and Marie Marsden too!

 

Mr Fleming was the looney who used to put his hand through blackboards and doors and came to school on a honda 50. Then there was Mr Cornthwaite, Mr Eadon, Mr Allsop, Mr Wright, Mr Littlewood.......it's all flooding back now!

 

Have some great memories of Chaucer though but it seems to have taken a bit of a dive in recent years.

 

I remember mr cornthwaite he used to throw chalk really hard
