Ecclesfield Grammar School

[mr_blue_owl]

This is a link to a photo of my first form class at Ecco Grammar which would have been 1962 by my reckoning. (Miss Norfolk was the form teacher).

I am the handsome young chap marked with a square.

Two others I met recently are John Platts and John Mayor the rest I havent seen or heard from since I left.

Anybody recognise any of the pupils on the pic?

I recognise a lot of these faces, and am now racking my brains trying to remember their names. My name is Joy Lewis and I was in the same year, but in a different class. I remember Miss Norfolk - she used to teach music. The girl on the front row third from the right is Karen Satterthwaite and I think the boy to the left of you is David Pashley. I'll come back when I've remembered some more.

Hi Joy,

The back row is: John Pashley, me, Richard Mason, Jan Pietnik (my best mate at school), John Platts, Gordon Lake, Michael Plant, John Mayor, Geoff Padgett, ????, Stephen Mason

I think the big guy in the second row is Andrew Needham

 

Of the girls I also remember Karen, plus Janet Shenton, Jennifer Nicholson (I went on the 'tea trot' with her), Jean Moyer, Linda Oxley, Melanie Spencer.

Norma Pease is just off the photograph (I got the pic from John Platts who stuck a biro through Norma's face after she apparently snitched on him he he

Of the teachers I used to like Miss Norfolk and hate Ogi Jennet - all the boys did. I am still in touch with John Mayor we have known each othe from infant school (about 50 years!) Also John Platts who used to lead me astray and Steve Jones who was in the year after us.

Thought of some more names. Middle row second from left (I'm counting the first left as the half person!) is Janet Parkin. You're right about Andrew Needham. Front row first on left is Jennifer Strickland, then Melanie Spencer, Lynda Muscroft and Laraine Smith. Then on the far right of that row is Lynne Needham. I was in class 1N in 1963. Mr. Jackson was our form teacher and others in the class were David Helliwell, with whom I'm still in touch, Mark Helme, Stephen Housden, Stephen Jenkinson, Paul Hazelby amongst others. Recognise any of the names? Can you also tell me who in your photograph is Jennifer Nicholson, Jean Moyer and Linda Oxley? I remember Norma Pease. We were in the sixth form together, both doing languages. Seems pretty typical of John Platts to stick a biro through her face, although knowing Norma she probably deserved it.

I remember all the names (I have quite a good long term memory but cannot remember where I put my glasses) I guess Keith Howard would have been in your class (as they went by alphabetical order)

I thought it was Susan Smith but you are probably right, Jennifer Nicholson is far right (first girl I ever fell in 'love' with:rolleyes: ) Linda Oxley is 4th from the right she married our neighbour's son who unfortunately died quite young) I also remembered Helen Slater (2nd from right) not sure if Jean Moyer is on the photo but she was definitely in my class as I had to go to Matron when she trapped my finger in the door.

Yes, typical of John but he is actually a very nice guy these days. I used to knock around with Andrew Hunt and Ralph Hardwick who may have been in your class also. Other mates were Mick Dumpleton, Gary Faulkner. Darryl Ball.

I knew Paul Dolby but we did not get along too well

I forgot to tell you my name is Keith Marshall

Other girls I remember:Shirley Walker, Susan Vickers, Kathleen (or Catherine? Turner), Anne Crellin.

'Fizz' Jackson was a great guy, he taught me English also. But unfortunately he could not control the kids very well and I think he left the teaching profession.

I would like to say they were happy days, but I didn't like school very much to be honest.

Hi Keith, remember you well, last saw you in the Nelson PH, Sheffield, you had long hair to your waist. Just retired from 30+yrs in the police, 25yrs on horseback. How are you what you doing now, last I saw of Jan he was not too good, he was a patient at Middlewood Hospital not seen him since. Take care maybe catch up later.

Pardon me for interrupting this thread but I taught at the school - on supply -around 1990 and found the Head of Science a 'kindred spirit'. I seem to remember his first name was Eric. Any thoughts on his possible surname please?

[Firemansam]

A lot of these names sound familiar.
