nicholls5 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 My grandson who now attends Charncok School has recently brought home a form and to celabrate 60 yrs of Charnock school. They are asking for any former pupils 1949 - 2009 to get in touch as they are compling memories and photgraphs taken to display in school for the local community and I am sure that any memories you have would be warmly accepted if you contact them. My memory is not too good but I can remember Mr Jarvis ( assistant head at the time) and being in Mr Roberts class in the hall, we used to take it in turn to take the Gerbils home in the holidays. Also thornbridge School, Mr Clarke and Mr Hunt - I was in the Jazz band there and used to play the double bass - what looks I used to get taking this home to practice on the bus. Also Our year going on the French exchange to Aloncon ( think this is how it was spelt) with the Westfield gang ). Happy memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I attended Charnock Hall School from 1974 - 1982. There is actually quite a large Facebook group for ex-pupils with lots more memories on. I remember going orienteering and collecting fungus!!! with Mr Pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiowl Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I went to Charnock from around 1969-1973 (Mr Smith, Mrs Oglespy, Mrs Goudie, Miss Bellamy - for 2 years), then Thornbridge 1973-1977. I remember almost all the teachers mentioned above (and their first names!). I also have a claim to fame as being the first at Charnock to ge the slipper from Mr Pope. Actually it was the flat of his hand. Three of us were pushing each other as we lined up to go in to class at the end of break. We all got called up, told to "Bend over and touch you're toes". I was the first in the line, we'd have been out of view from the rest of the school due to the wall above the playground, but they'd have all heard us. As I got older, I got to know Mr Pope and his wife much more. Great bloke, he took us on walks in Derbyshire to all kinds of places that I took my own kids too 20 years later. Anyone also remember his 3 wheeler Bond, a bit like a Reliant Robin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estweyn Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 My son and friends went to Charnock school from about 1980, it was a nice school. Mrs Bradbury was my sons teacher and she was a lovely woman, she understood that boys did not pay attention and fidgeted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowny1 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I went to charnock school junior and infants from 1965 to 1972 Great school, we always seemed to be going on trips somwhere. I even went to Austria on the school trip in 70-71? any one else go !. I still see the odd face from those days and often go passed ( not changed much) taking short cut through the estae. Mr Jarvis was my form teacher , classroom right down at the botom on the right. And who can remember the house teams : Brindly, Chantry, Hardwick, & Nightingale i think. I was in brindly BUT Chantry allways seemed to WIN. DAYS GONE BY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiowl Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I even went to Austria on the school trip in 70-71? any one else go ! Ha, Yes, I went on that same trip. Remember that castle place where water shot out of silly places and just about everyone got wet? I found the place on youtube by accident once and stuck a couple of clips in my favorites. Search for Schloss Hellbrunn Wasserspiele. Jarvo's son supposedly got pi ss ed and ate half a bar of soap!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
