Cardinal Newman School

[Munkfish]

Just finished year 11 there and staying on for sixth form. Yes mrs 'spitfire' jones is still ever present - our dt class a few years ago managed to lock her in the cupboard for a whole lesson - good times!

Shes been locked in that cupboard more times than Mr Grant had been up Miss Howells.

Sixth Form is shit though, should of gone to BHASVIC that is where the birds are.

To be fair when I first started all the upper years did seem that way but its nothing like that now really.

Unfortunately I never had the 'pleasure' of meeting ms Howells.

Stayed at Newman because most of the people I know did plus the subjects I have taken are well taught eg. History, economics. When were you at Newman?

One summer night me and a mate liberated a rose bush from a local garden near Newman. Planted it in the middle of the football pitch, overlooking where the teachers would see it while parking their cars. Put a school yard bench next to it and a piece of cardboard torn of a box and driven into the ground written in permanent marker it read "Dedicated to Mr Oakhill from all the students and teachers at Cardinal Newman." He was retiring and was a tosser. Because the football season had stopped it stayed their for about a month and you could often see teachers reading it confusion.

Oh yeah we also sent Ray a fictitious letter through the post regarding his wife's inquiry into halitosis treatment. What an angry, unpleasent little man he was.

Anyone remember Mr. O'sullivan ?

Retired a few years back, still comes in to cover for illness and such now and again...

Funnily enough he was only qualified in trampolining, don't think i ever saw him teach it?!?!?

 

[superwomen]

- is Mr Stephens still there,

 

[Cloughie]

- is Mr Stephens still there,

Probably. Bet he still collects football stickers too! What about Mr Holmwood? He used to get plenty of stick but was actually a very funny bloke.

I left 6th Form in '03. Chris Jones was my favourite teacher. The bloke is a legend.

Now was that the first or second time it was called off?

I can't remember if I went both times, I think it was just the second game on the Tuesday night.

Still have the photo of us in the Scoreboard End at Old Trafford with you with the foam hands on!

It was the Tuesday game.
Love that photo at Old Trafford. We should do it again sometime. Maybe next season in the Premiership.

Maths teachers for me were Mr. Powell, Miss Johnson and Mr Hind. Couldn't stand Johnson, but Powell and Hind were a good laugh (might have joked around too much in Powell's lessons, but as a plastic Man U fan, he deserved it).

Anyone remember Mr. O'sullivan ?

Oh yes = he was the archetypal PE Teacher!

I was crap at long distance running and he just loved making me suffer, bless him.

I went for the last year of De la Salle, and then CN from 71-75 when I left aged 16.

I hated every minute of it, I hated the teachers and they hated me. However, I got on very well with Mr O'Sullivan, because I was the Sporty type. At that time it was also a very violent place. In my year were Kevin Foreman, Neil Foster, Jan Asigno. Must also say, that the girls in our year were exceptionally nice.
