i left ecco in '75.daz smith(french) was a great bloke. he once took myself and zepstox to preston to watch wednesday play,stopping at belle vue on the way. i had mr.mason for spanish,hedley knibbs for geography(again,both good blokes).josh king was a good teacher but what a temper! mr.kinsey(physics) was a little b*****d. was the little blonde bombshell games teacher called miss amery? i had a teacher for commerce i think was called o'neill. he was a bit of a rebel. for a while i had an english teacher called peter wood. he left in mysterious circumstances,went on to be a bus driver and later a councillor.billy buck was my form and maths teacher in my 1st year. oggy jennett was a scary man.another nice bloke was my biology teacher but i can't recall his name.i remember the mrs.heaton incident,calling the girls slags. i can't say they were happy times and i was glad to leave.

can't believe Billy Buck , and oggy were still there in the seventies !! old billy must have been on a zimmer frame . (but perhaps by then he had learnt enough maths to teach first formers .... he certainly couldn't teach us in 1958!!) best maths teacher then was Gabby Hayes , he could be a Bas***d but certainly knew his maths , and had a passion for it , he had been a code breaker apparently during the war at Bletchley Park enigma project top secret stuff at the time so we only found out about him much later ..

I remember all the teachers you mention charliewag and Miss Amery ! She was a cow when we had her for games :hihi:Remember when we went swimming and we had about two seconds to get dried and dressed :hihi:She used to say if you're not ready we'll leave you ! My Mum told me to ''tell her to leave me then and then come home'' Nice one, never did though

Loved Peter Wood for English and I also seem to remember him going to be a bus driver. Was Mr O Neil a Noel Edmonds look alike?

Great to remember all this stuff, not so great at the time though hey?

The school was closed for most of my first year. I think it was because of the power cuts which were happening then, no heating or something Does anyone else remember this ? It would be the winter of 71

Lol someone recently engraved a penis into the side of one of the grasslands in the school grounds. first years found it hilarious, gotta admit twas funny and im a third year xD

[disleydog]

NO not behind lady mabel. In my day the jungle was down by the grass tennis courts , not there now though

 

can you still get under the stage in Lady Mabel hall ? we used to go there when nicking off lessons like Latin etc. we also used to get in the boiler room down the back steps , or into the roof space by climbing the ladder by the side of the stage there's a good walkway up there right to the back of the hall .

[Abbs]

Nahh you get cant get into lady mabel now withouut getting caught, havent seen this headspace up the ladder your talking about, but im in a production so ill see if i can sneak around and find it

People still smoke round the back though
