Parkhouse school

[borick]

Scotty was o-k. really, just like a big kid!

Can't remember a tuck shop - where was it based? Remember Miss Featherstone and Miss Windle though. And the utter chaos of queuing for lunch. And school discos and the annual pantomime/play in which I had a couple of not quite starring roles!!!

 

Anyone remember the barge/canalboat the school had? Not sure why that's popped into my head! I was only at Park House for 3 years as in third year my parents moved house so my memories are a little vague.

 

 

 

Tuck shop was in dining room each morning. Went for a week on the barge had a great time - not sure where it was based it could have been Spotbrough.

 

Remember Mr Scott I thought he was an ace English teacher. He used to live on the same road as my nan at Ecclesfield.

Those names bring back memories. When I changed school in third year, I became friends with a girl at the new school who a couple of years later went to Torquay to stay with her boyfriend at his mum's hotel. Our family holiday was in Torquay that year so we arranged to meet up. Turned out the mum's partner was Mr Holmes and there he was!!! Small world or what?

so many memories, loved that school, nothing but pure laughter.

lee wot year did u leave, and........how the hell did u remember all those teachers?

[Lee James]

I've no idea how i remembered all those teachers!!! I suppose they are forever etched in my mind with the constant yelling!!

Mr Holmes was my form teacher in 1st, 2nd & 3rd year, then i ended up with Mr (Frank) Whitehouse who to be fair was a good guy. Just remebered Mr Hill from french class, not a pleasant memory! I left (officially) in 1985.

You've brought memories flooding back. What did Mr Holmes teach

[Squiggly]

I think Mr Holmes took technical drawing.

 

I left in 84, but if I'd done the full five years it would have been 1987.

[Lee James]

Yeah Nibs, Mr Holmes did take technical drawing. We had the form room with all those crazy upright ruler sliding desks!! Oh, another teacher's just come into my 'mad' head...Mr 'Purdy' Dimmalow (probably spelt that wrong but you know who i mean!)..... Dr. Chatterjee (R.E. that was a really naff lesson!) Mr Mcdonald (Chemistry, scottish guy who looked a bit like matthew corbett from sooty & sweep!)

[Squiggly]

Lee James you have such a good memory!!! Dr Chatterjee and Mr MacDonald were also two of my teachers. The RE lessons were complete nonsense as you suggest.
