I do remember her she was a really nice teacher haven't seen her or heard of her in years. Mrs Mackey was really sweet remember going to her to have teeth pulled (imagine a teacher doing that now).

I was there mid 60s left about 64, the arty art teacher was ... well i wont use bad language. Mrs Griffin, anyone remember her? She was the deputy head mistress, the most sadistic woman i ever met. Mr Mayer the headmaster at the time tried his best, told me to reach for the stars etc... Miss Boyle the gym teacher used to scream "you bold creature", if we stepped out of line.Hated the school and most teachers ,but had some good times too. Remember the christmas parties with the teachers watching from the stage?

Re: holy family
 

Lots of good memories! I was there from 76-81 in Arrowsmith, madame Metcalf was my form teacher. I can't remember all the houses I remember Rigby and Clitheroe but what were the others? I had Mr Mulligan for english the first two years I was there. I had Mr sanderson for math- he was always telling us jokes very little math was taught. I was thrown out of mr Parfitts french class and told to go do art with Miss/Mrs Snape-she was a great Art teacher. Who was the other art teacher who was really serious about Art and would grade you really severly- I don't think Piccaso would get a grade higher than a D. Do any of you remember Mr obrien or obby general science teacher? And Mr Mc Keown was the biology teacher. I cant remember what the woodwork teacher was called or the physics teacher.

Re: holy family
 

Mr Sanderson and Mr Bold if I remember correctly, both good teachers who helped me get my O levels in both subjects.:)

Re: holy family
 

Mr Walling was the physics teacher, and Mr Bold taught me Chemistry.

Re: holy family
 

Mr Kendal was chemistry, Mr Bold physics, who was Mr Walling?

Re: holy family
 

I guess it all depends on what years you went to school there.What years where you there Bagpuss?
