Ex Chaucer School pupils


Recommended Posts

I was there 1969 - 1974

 

First form Teacher was a Mr Bellamy, I also had Mr Flemming and Mr Crowe as form teachers.

 

I remember Mr Cornthwaite he taught us Maths, a Mr Knight taught us woodwork & tech drawing, he used to reek of old spice aftershave!! He was a bit volatile as I remember, discipline was usually handled by the assistant head

Mr Newsom but Knight decided to cane a lad in the class ended up bruising his thumb with the cane and the parents came into school! I had Flemming for English (he also did gardening) I agree with those who said he was firm but fair and I learned more english in the year with him than in any other class, that said I enjoyed Ross Crowe's english class enormously! Mr Flemming once cracked a desktop with his fist in one of our lessons I believe he had limited feeling in one of his hands...certainly made an impression!!!

 

Old pupils in my year

 

Neville Rogers, Susan Kelly, Greer Stubbs, Cath Ashall, Michael Battersby, Darrell Swanson to name a few!

 

Hi I remember nearly all these names, Susan Kelly used to sit behind me in Mr Crowes class in 1H1. Maths teachers I remember though were Davidson, Outram, Helliwell and Littlewood.

Hi Linzi 1984, I knew Barry at Chaucer; I was one of his MANY girlfriends so I don`t suppose he`ll remember me. He was a heartbreaker and always had a queue waiting in the wings.... I think the last time I saw him was in 1960 after we`d left school. We went to Hillsborough Kinema in a foursome with Roy and Josey. When you next speak to him tell him Vera says `hi`.
