I went 65-67 and it was definitely TD.

I've just read your post and I'm sorry you felt you had such a bad deal there.

 

it seems to me you were a square peg in a round hole and should have been placed in the CTS.

 

Many others would have exchanged places with you from schools all over Sheffield.

 

Everyone I know remembers the school with fondness.

 

It the time I was there I had a few problems but accepted they were of my own making.

 

The school ran a disciplined regime and that was one of its assets and as far as education I do not think I could have received any better.

 

Many people who attended the school went on to greater things and the school gave thm a good grounding.

 

The Old Boy's Association is still in existance and to think the school has been closed for so many years is a testament to the feeling of its ex pupils.

 

Happy Days!

I went at a similar time 1963 to 1967 and enjoyed it the country today would be far better if that discipline was still in place

I'm not sure of the exact dates but I think my dad went to this school. John Holbrook - does anyone remember him

 

He went in 1963 I often used to call for him but for some reason he often would not go to school I think it drove your gran mad he absolutely hated Central Tech I do not know why we were good friends please give him my regards

Yes, it was The Girls City Grammer School.

Sorry to read that. I remember a John Wilkinson - shock of blonde hair - who went on to become a golf professional at Lees Hall where I think his dad Ray? was already established.

I was there doing engineering from 1960-63. Finished up in 6C.

Some of the names mentioned bring back fond memories.

A good old school I think!
