stuartw Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 It would be good to hear from anyone who attended dinnington comprehensive school between 1963 to 1966 (ONLY). This period in my boyhood hold great memories for me and sadly on leaving in 1966, we all went our seperate ways. Here's hoping! !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hardie Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Lol, the one and only time I got picked for the school team (Hinde House) we went to Dinnington and got beat 10-0. Would have been within that time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been within that time frame. I think Liverpool F.C. once thumped a part-time European team by the same score and the then manager Bill Shankly said 'They were lucky to get none !'

abbeyedges Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Was it a 'comprehensive' school in 1963-66? I thought comprehensives were introduced in September 1969. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpetre Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Was it a 'comprehensive' school in 1963-66? I thought comprehensives were introduced in September 1969. Perhaps or not but in 1963 I could not spell comprhe@sive ! and I was 15 and though not attending lived less than a mile from there !

My Mum went to Dinnington Tech . in the late 30's early 40's, was this the same place under a different title, in the 60's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinde House became a comprehensive in 1963, can't speak for Dinnington but they comprehensively beat us at football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbeyedges Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Apologies to the OP for not sticking to the thread but I'm intrigued by Hinde House and Dinnington being made into comprehensives in 1963. Does that mean 11year olds in those areas didn't take an 11+ exam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbbt Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 My OH attended Dinnington Comp and left in 1969. They didn't take the 11+. It comes under Rotherham Borough Council now but did come under West Riding County Council back then..... and not Sheffield Council, maybe that's why.
