If so, leave your reminiscences here. If all you can remember is a name, then post it any way. In every case, please try to leave an approximate year as well. |

replied on: 2/24/2005 11:29:21 PM I'll start at the very end of the school's existence, as I was in the next to last intake at the school, starting in 1972 and leaving in 1975. The Headmaster was, of course, Geoff Stone. My Maths teacher was George Dickie, and his wife was a French teacher, though she never taught me. My French teacher (but I packed it up after the 3rd form) was Mr Jerome - I remember him speaking French with a vaguely Somerset accent. My Latin teacher, who only worked part-time, was Margaret Kerr, who lived on Jessop Street, Codnor. I'm afraid I have a dreadful memory for names - others will come back to me, but that is all for now. |

replied on: 2/25/2005 8:08:37 AM Early 70's. Miss Hyndmann (Senior Mistress) for French.....no patent leather shoes as boys may be able to see your underwear reflected in them! Mr Holdsworth (Senior Master) for German, I also remember him speaking Russian. Mrs Nixon(?) for Games I think her husband played football for Notts County at that time. I'm sure more will come back to me later. Chrisbrin |

replied on: 2/25/2005 11:44:18 PM My memories of Mr Dickie were not so good. He and I never hit it off and, despite maths being my strongest subject in every other year, the year that he taught me it was my worst subject! Recovered to get "O" level grade C though! "E Clucas Sykes" was head when I started in 1955, a terrifying sight in his mortar board and gown for a colliers' son from Langley! |

replied on: 2/26/2005 2:43:26 PM I loved Mr Dickie- despite avoiding the flying chalk and board rubber, watching him bounce up and down when we didn't understand, and his insulting nicknames for various pupils-for me he made maths exciting-he led me to grade A maths O level! After he had marked our Algebra mock "O" level, he stopped me in the school corridor and said, "Good paper, girl, 98%, and what a stupid mistake you made!" He was master of inflation and deflation! |

replied on: 2/26/2005 5:18:57 PM It's amazing how many of them were there till the bitter end! I have to agree with Suzard about Mr Dickie - while he was universally detested, I look back on him with only fond memories. I hated maths, but came out a grade A O-level - I put that entirely down to his style. |
