What school did you go to and when?

[mymiyel 10]

All Saints on Granville Road. Left the Sixth Form in 2001

[Nodens 10]

I attended Firth Park Grammar School between 1941 and 1946, now destroyed and replaced by a glass and concrete monstrosity. In those days, British educational standards were the best in the world. Now they are near the bottom. What happened?

Too much political interference from the Lefties with their social engineering policies, their mission, to turn the UK into a third-world state.

[Glenn Fox 10]

I left Rowlinson in 1975 having gone through from age 11 to 18!!

I remember some of the above, especially Killer Holmes the art teacher - he really was a cruel bugger. My form teacher for most of my time there was Bob Parnham (pengy Parnham because he walked like a penguin) and the best teacher there was probably Dave Dawson - a genius English teacher in my days. Mike Trevorrow was also a gifted and inspiring teacher, as was Simon Morris, sociology teacher and all round great bloke. He used to take us to the pub for a pint and teach us overe a cigarette and a few beers!

 

Mike trevorrow taught us at yewlands (I left in84') I bet it is the same teacher?

The first school I went to was the Sacred Heart. Dont remember exactly what road it was on but it was in the vicinity of Hillsboro Barracks

 

I was at the tender age of five and the teachers were nuns. Scary enough in their dark robes and veils and what a bunch of old biddies they were. There wasn't the slightest feeling of tenderness and compassion for little kids my age, their hearts as cold and withered as their unused wombs.

 

I was threated by one of them with a caning during my first day at the school. I had been standing near a fire guard and one of the railing had come loose at one end. Being near it automatically made me guilty.

 

I can remember a kid sitting next to me peeing his pants because he was too terrified to ask to be excused, a puddle of pee forming on the floor underneath his desk

 

Even today, these many, many years later I can still remember how those nuns smelled. There was a stale musty smell about them perhaps caused by them having to wear the same habits every day and not being able to take a proper bath in a naked state. I heard that they had to bathe wearing a shift

as the sight of their own nudity was a sin and perhaps a punishment of 100 hail mary's from mother superior:rolleyes:

 

Fortunately I didn't stay too long there and was hauled out after a year or so and sent to a regular, non religious school.
