… and you’d need a degree to spell his surname
Did a year in 6th form, I was in the year that did the first GCSE.That depends if you stayed for the 6th form…
if you did, you were in the year above me (so in my brother’s year).
if you left in 88 after o-levels, then you were the year BELOW me

I left in 71 when I was 15 so we were there about the same time
You were in my year at Hove Park!

Think I might have found myself
I was in “W”. Still friends with a few on FB but not seen anyone in person for a while. My best mate from those days lives in Denmark now.
Same, not with best mate living in Denmark but friends on Facebook. Most seem to be doing well, which is good.

I left in summer 72 and was in 6th form with Not Andy…OK, now you made me check my A level dates...I left school in Summer 1973, so I was a year after you. Did you play in the football team? (that always jogs the memory). And, I don't know who 'Not Andy...' is.
some good recollections on here. Williamson (God) never caned me - always had Tabby on hand to do the business. Mother wasn't happy the day he really laid into me and had my pants stuck to my arse with blood. Shame I never stood up to it and complained to the police as an assault - I still don’t know how they used to get away with it. They were hardly setting an example.

Ross was the only teacher who could stand at the front of the class, butt on the radiator with his hands behind his back, eyes closed, and do the whole 49 minute period in that pose, reciting every single bloody word from our text books. I only lasted a term in the A stream!
Those days were different eh? Caning and being slippered if you mucked around too much in PE. I also remember older lads holding some first years off the squash court balcony by their ankles...
...really had to avoid them.
I was done byTabrett twice in the 50’s. Both times blood on my pants. Both times mother clipped me round the ear and said you must have deserved it!
Those were the days and I loved my Mum.
I think the RI teacher was called Hill, used the slipper on a classmates

Hitler Hill, remember him well with a board rubber being his weapon of choice although Looby Jones used to do the sex ed.
I remember Williamson smiling while he gave me the cane, Chas Cope, the drinking, sweary History teacher, Willy Pope, Les Hamilton, Krone, Geoff Garland, Ken Garland, Adrian Hilton-Dennis together with the aforementioned Ned Land and Jack Liddell.

Was the RI twat Hill? We ambushed him one day with a waste bin placed above the part-open door jamb to fall on his head as he entered. Not entirely successful and a painful caning followed
That was the b'stard. Feeble blustering little shit with a temper. Chalk chucker.
My old classmate, BRO, not, I think, of the NSC parish but an Amex season ticket holder, riled Hill by pooh poohing the existence of 'the tabernacle'. He also upset the physics teacher by dismissing 'atoms' on the grounds that you can't see them so therefore the don't exist. I think BRO was 11 at the time
. And a lovely bloke he is, too, in his glorious mid sixties. @monty uk will attest.
