kanga Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Was it Mrs Behan or something like that? Was she the one who used to complain that everyone sounded like a bunch of wet cabbages when they sang, or am I mixing schools up..?! I really liked Mr Hawksworth, Mrs Finbow, Mrs Thorpe and Mrs Jones. Mrs Baker the school secretary was lovely too It's a shame if the school's changed as you say, I always liked it there. I didn't want to leave to go to Meadowhead at all! Forgot to say... yes, I do remember Mr Gundry, he was my teacher in the last year. I always remember when he sat down on a chalk drawing (of fireworks I think) one day and when he stood up, he had them all over his bum... oops. Just realised I was having a bit of a brain block when I wrote that.... I think the music teacher who compared the choir to wet cabbages was Mrs Alder. I'm sure there was a Mrs Behan somewhere though, just don't remember if she was at Greenhill or Meadowhead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jass Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 One of my lads was at Greenhill from 1993 and one of my daughters from 1996. The lad was in Mr Gundry's class. Think he was a first aider at the time. My lad had an accident in the yard and Mr G said it was nothing. I wasn't convinced when I went to pick him up. Turned out he had broken his ankle!!! Still, we all make mistakes. Cheers, Jass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeh205 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 my previous paragraph deleted itself so i will have to start again.. i myself went to greenhill, Mrs finbow was present while i was their but she left, as many other teachers did, the head at the moment was a ex-Ofsted inspector which may explain his obsession with targets. i myself thought the school was on a slope while i was there, there were arguments about the adventure playground that parents put money into, which was ignored and used to create a yard. charity events such as non uniform days for red nose day, it is £1 and 50p goes towards the school, doesn't the school get enough funding from the council? parents had felt left down and i did not want to move to Meadowhead, when i did move, it was incomparable to greenhill, and now with Meadowhead building a new school it will be even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
