vix2000 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hi I just wondered if there are any ex High Storrs pupils out there who started their 1st year in 1968? We were the last year to take the 11+, and only had 1 year as a girl/boys only school, the school was changed to a mixed comp in our 2nd year? Trying to locate as many as possible, so if you have any mid-50's friends or family who might have gone to High Storrs, please point them in this direction, or pm me. Thanks all.

coop Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I was in Hoffman house and had the displeasure of having a certain History teacher as a form master. He had a liking for using a slipper with a chalk marked X on the sole. Anyone else suffer from his hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStorrs Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 High Storrs School has recently published a book detailing the historic journey the school has gone through over the years. 'High Storrs, A Journey' is available for sale at a very reasonable price directly from the school. Contact the school by phone on 0114 2670000 or look at the website for further details.

I was in Hoffman house, but after your time, Coop. I left HSS in 1980, when TBJ Mardell was still the headmaster. I don't know who that teacher would have been but most of the ones who taught during the time I was there were okay, and not generally given to wreaking violence on the scholars. Poppy, was that Nicholls as in Mr Nicholls the Deputy head? He has a lot to do with the Old Centralians association (the former-pupils' society) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
