Ex Chaucer School pupils

Recommended Posts

I was there 1985 - 1989 - Mrs Price was my form tutor and boy, you knew about it if you didnt bring a sick note, late note or a dentist card in if you had time off.

 

I remember Mr Wells (VERY SCAREY) and Mr Seal (fantastic), Mrs Holmes (too soft), Mr Palmer (Scarey), Mrs Birch (cool-ish), Mr Blackwell (Great), Mr Crowe (the best by far), Mr Hawksworth (delicious), Mr Leighton (somat about him) - god there were loads of em. And most of em taught really well but I expect its alot harder these days with the amount of "unruly children/lack of disciplicine!!!!!!!

 

When my family used to say "school is the best day of your life" - they were very true words.

:clap::wink:

sorry if spellings not too good or I've missed your name out/got it wrong!!

 

I can remember Mr Wells being the only teacher anyone was intimidated by (is he the one who used to spit in your face as he yelled at you or was it someone else?)

 

Mr Glover was quite quiet, Mrs Bickerstaff was like Mrs Trunchbull from Matilda, Mrs Sellers was really lovely and lost in fairy land... also remember Mr Crowe, Mr Crane (I can still remember the gay rumours, kids can be so horrid), Mr Fields, Miss Simister (best P.E teacher ever), Mr Raine and his ridiculous stick he'd whack on the table about an inch from you fingers...

Just read back through all the posts - how bloody long has Mr Wells been at Chaucer? I was there about 7 years ago but there's posts on here saying he was there in the 70's?? He must really love tormenting children.

 

Does anyone who remembers Miss Leatherbarrow think she looks just like the redheaded original member of Sugababes??

ONE OF THE ORIGINALS.

 

I was moved to Chaucer School when it opened after Easter 1958 and went into Miss Harts class along with Jack Selwood, Peter Woodcock, Brian Patchett, Frank Weldon, Keith Hackett (I wonder what happend to him?) Margaret Shaw, Ann Self, Dianne Tomlinson,Beryl Ransom, Anita Spencer, Beryl Savage, Joan Mellor and Christine Fowler, plus some more.

 

After the Summer Holiday I moved up to Mr. Newham's class along with most of the mentioned above, I was sellected as a prefect and I can't remember the selection process as it wouldn't have been for my educational skills!!!! Some of the teachers I can recall were of course Mr. Darvill, the 2 previosly mentioned Mr. Swithenbank, Mr. Popplewell, Mr. Ketteringham, Mr. Collinson, Mr. Cornthaite, Miss Cooke and Mr. Peter Price.

 

About 10 years after leaving there I was working as a Bus conductor and I had to go to Chaucer to do a bath special and the scholars were brought to the bus by Mr. Price who imediately recognised me and we had a chin wag both there and back, what suprised me was the fact he recognised me after being away for so long.
