| RMMee Moderator Quote | Reply | | Langley Mill/Aldercar School Teachers posted on: 2/24/2005 11:15:13 PM A lot of people remember their school teachers as if they were talking about yesterday. Me, I can hardly remember any of them by name! This topic is to try to bring together a list of names for the various schools in Langley Mill and Aldercar, plus any specific reminiscences. If you add any threads, please include the school you are talking about, and an approximate year. To remind you, there were quite a few schools over the years. Infants: Elnor Street (till 1970?) Aldercar (Cromford Road) (until ????) Sedgwick Street (from 1970?) Aldercar (Daltons Close) (from ????) Junior/Junior-Secondary Boys School, Station Rd, (till ????) Girls School, Sedgwick Street (till ????) Junior School, Sedgwick Street (till 1970?) Junior School, Bailey Brook Drive (>1970?) Secondary School Aldercar (from ????) |

replied on: 2/24/2005 11:17:03 PM To start the ball rolling with Sedgwick Street Juniors, approx 1966 - 1970: The Headmaster was Robert Hampson. The teacher I remember most was Mrs Battersbea, mainly because of her purple hair! |

replied on: 2/24/2005 11:20:02 PM Aldercar Secondary School, 1970 - 1972. The Head was Mr Cliffe. I remember the English teacher, Mr Grout, who had written a book on English grammar, which was used by the school as a text book. My French teacher was Miss Fletcher, who all the boys drooled over!!!! The name Mr Flynn rings a bell - PE? I told you my memory for such things was poor - I was only there for two years, but at the moment that's the best I can do. |

replied on: 2/25/2005 5:10:34 PM Suzard, When the girl's school became the junior school, the headmaster's office was still in the same place. I remember it well. Let's not record Sunday School Teachers on this thread, but I agree that it is a good one, if someone would like to start it off. |

replied on: 2/25/2005 5:57:38 PM Couldn't resist putting Roger on!!!! The last year I was at Langley Mill school-the boys joined us-and we became Junior mixed-I was head girl-but can't remember who was head boy! I think Miss Barfoot remained headmistress-does anyone know which teachers transferred from Langley Mill Boys to Junior Mixed?I can vaguely remember during my last year there that we had some male teachers, but I was never taught by any of them. |

French and History, Mr Williams. History, Mr Bailey. Geography, Mr Radford? Maths, I believe at this time there was one maths teacher who was Russian, Mr Andrusko?? (or something like that) and another who was Polish, no idea how to spell his name either but it sounded like Igel. |

replied on: 2/26/2005 3:00:39 PM When did Aldercar Secondary open? I don't know if my memory is correct, but I seem to think when I started Langley Mill Girls it went up to senior age and then around 1955 the Seniors left. I remember when I started the Girls school my cousin was in the same school and she was 5 years older than me. |
