Anyone remember Copthorne or Binley Park schools?
I was always getting the cane. Pretty much every day. I was a right rebel! Smoking, truancy, refusing to do homework, lateness, fighting, you name it, I did it! It's a wonder I ever got through to the end! I absolutely hated school.
A fine trail of destruction by any arsonist's standards.
The Avon Valley fire was an electrical fault. One of the many things covered up by the head, Mr Brain. Along with shagging staff and appointing family members to high up roles in the school.
President Kennedy and left 91

Gorton red strip.Now you're making me think back
Cuthbert Bardsley (I think it was called) - I think it had the blue strip above the badge. Mr Howard was my form tutor.
Caludon Castle, left in 1989.
Anyone remember Beb Brown the French teacher??
Just don't mention mushrooms!
I is intrigued! :thinking about:
He was a weird old school teacher Houch, real strict man who was well reknown at Cally for being a bit of a bastard, however, he had a strange fascination with mushrooms, really really passionate about them and the thing that you learnt as a first year was that if you had Beb Brown you should try and get him to talk about mushrooms as he would go on about them for the whole hour and you wouldn't have to do any work.
One of those old school rumours that probably happened once and then became a school legend.[/QU
We had one like that ,RE teacher George ,can't remember his surname .
He reckoned he's been a missionary out In Africa,so we used to get him rambling on that ,not that RE required much work.
Better still ,he was well Into photography and liked a Fag,so we got onto doing a few Photography projects ,and could smoke In the dark room
