carcrash Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I went to Woodhouse West and lived on Coisley Hill but I ended up at Beaver Hill. The main people I remember who went to City are the Webbs. John, David, Julie, Martin and Alison, Darren Currie, Paul Schofield, Ian Whitehead and a few others from Normanton Springs and Dyke Vale. It used to be a great laugh watching people go up the lane at the back of Normanton Grove and then have to walk across the playing fields to get to school in winter. I bet it is still the quickest way and i bet they still have not built a proper path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I always wondered why it was called City school, when it was nowhere near the city centre, now I know, it was on Leopold Street first. I went to Brook by the way, the only thing I remember about City is how fast they ran away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discovery Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Anyone here from City??? I was there from 1974 to 1979 and have fond memories of the place. It always had a reputation of being a good school as it took a lot of the old teachers with it to the new site at Stradbroke when it turned comprehensive from being a grammar school on Leopold Street (then education offices and now site for yet more trendy flats, bars etc). Many of my friends kids go there now but I have never been back since I left in June 79. Maybe a visit is in order lol Do you know my friend Janine Rennie? She would have been there at that time.

faloola Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I left in 1996 and was in Mr Swifts tutor the whole time I was there. Saw him the other day and he looked disappointed as I have a two year old child. I had to remind him that I was nearly 27 and that I had a decent career! He looks down his nose at everyone who has a child who he taught. Thinks its because it reminds him how old he now is. He expected everyone to leave and become rocket scientisits and not waste your life on kids. Feel sorry for him as I don't think he had a family of his own. Anyone there around the same time?

bavariablade Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I was there from 67-72. Mr Riches was my form teacher in 72. He was very strange. He had the habit of disappearing into a walk-in cupboard evry lunch time. Sometimes some the sillier girls would join him. I don't think anyrthing happened - but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
