Is this the same Ms Coy who used to teach P.E?If it is, she used to be a really tough woman, a real ball breaker - not the kind of Teacher you ever took liberties with....

When i first started school a Miss Burrell was my teacher, she was so kind and lovely and I always remember that she gave me a book on wild flowers when I left which I have to this day some 50years ago. At Rowlinson there was a Mr Curly who I had crush on, he was quite dishy. He was the Sports Master and because I was in the School Athletics team he used to get me off having to do Maths which I hated, instead I did training. Oh happy days;)

when I was at school in the 60s it had to be Tom Kelly Dept Head at St Pauls

 

Granville Rd. I thought he was tough but fair. I always wanted him for my

 

dad.

Mr Stubbs, Pipworth 1986, sadly died of a brain tumour.

Jeff Tunningley, Myrtle Springs 1989.

Mr Ashton, Myrtle Springs.

 

mr tunningley was one of my teachers for social studies (ashleigh school). he was brilliant

[andrejuan]

Woodbourne Road Infants and Juniors '63-'68 Mrs Gleadall, Mrs Hall (she asked my mum if she would help me with reading at home. Mum told her that school was for education and home was for playing! Thankfully Mrs Hall gave me lots of help with Janet and John books) and Mr Woodcock.

 

Home tuition '69-'70 Mrs Valarde. The best.

 

Jordanthorpe Comp (now Meadowhead) '70-'74 Mr Porter geography, Mr Biggins (I think) history, Mr Stocks English, Mr Beech drama (he gave fencing swords to a class of 13 year olds!), Miss Castledine English and of course deputy head Miss Upperdine and head Miss Prebble.

 

I remember all the Jordanthorpe names, didn't Miss Castledine marry one of the other teachers?

One other who stands out for me was Miss Webber, used to pick you out of your seat by the ear it you miss behaved, and Miss Shablovs of course, often lit a cig. in class and could throw any object from any distance and always hit the target.

Happy days.

Is that the same Mrs Cooper who taught history at KES????? If so, she was fairly .... unique.....!!!!! :hihi:

 

No different Mrs Cooper! I did bump into the latter one though in Bingham Park a few years ago and she was very pleasant and friendly, I remember she was quite fearsome at KES
