I left Colley in 1982ish too long ago to remember,have some fond memories of getting a slap off Mr Gent (shoestring) and letching over Miss Kemp in my early days.

Then there was the half loaf hollowed out and filled with chips at lunchtime from Margetson shops,hot summers,jumpers for goal posts.

Mr dolby the sadistic PE teacher,later to become a local celeb after chopping down trees to get a better view of Ecclesfield church.

 

Mr Salt and those amazing sideburns,Mr Evans (upside down head) and who could forget Mr Umbele.

 

I was there about same time as you, and a few others by the look of thing's. Mr Salt was my form teacher.

Aww mrs bennett now thats a women il never forget tough cookie that one.can anyone remember the science teacher mr long ,he used to look after the animals?I remember mr Alan think he did media studies.

 

Yup! Mr Long the Rural Studies teacher. ...Still see him occasionally

 

I remember 2 Chinchillas, 2 donkeys ("Shirley" & "Sylvie", or was it "Silver"?), rabbits & 2 sheep. Doesn't it strike you as odd that a school should have so many animals, not to mention the occasional stuffed ones? I also remember two large glass houses with interesting plants and two Salix × sepulcralis var. chrysocoma trees (Golden weeping willow) by the entrance gates. To my mind, these were the most lovely and interesting of trees (not least because, at the time, I didn't know anywhere else you could see such trees locally), although I don't suppose they can have been much older than forty years old at that time, if that. I think those trees have since gone, possibly felled by that PE teacher?
