Does anyone remember a tall lanky bloke, surname Whittle? G00n.

I was there between 87-90 I think, and he was 2 or 3 years older than me.
Other than that I could probably name lots of teachers and ex-pupils. Mr
Partridge was a good bloke. Mr Stevens was head while I was there. Mr Munday
went out with a girl at the schools mum. The might even have gotten married.
Miss Williams never found love and remained a lesbian until her scrawny
carcass crumbled away. God she was rank.

Mrs Oak was pretty worthy! As was Miss Taylor, a teacher from Brazil. She
taught PE and was young and fit.. Mrs Walding was the ginger third year head
and was quite a dragon. Mr Blake I've mentioned in previous posts. Mrs Odds
was the receptionist, and she still lives round the corner from the school.
They have loads of classic cars which they use for weddings. Mr Feaver the
p00F!! Last I heard he was living up the Esplanade in Rochester just off
Shorts Way. Ohhh its all coming back....Miss Matthews, Miss Measures, Mrs
Ackerly!!

I'll shut-up for now. Know any of them Desp0?

Partridge? Still there! He was a sort of harmless guy when I was there
in 80-84 (rookie teacher perhaps?)

He was strange... didn't he get the boot?

Mundy was cool. Mundy was the coolest teacher I've ever known. Blakey
was cool too, as was Mr Thomas (Rhys Thomas's dad if anyone remembers).

The pottery teacher? Dunno how she managed to get to work on windy
days.

Maths/Science teacher? worthy? the one who gives out detty's for
spelling chrystal wrong (or is it crystal? - dunno fayled inglish oh
level).
She was OK for maths though. I guess it was oak and mundy that managed
to get me into topset maths at HOH and ultimately 2 A-level grade A's
(not really bragging).

As was Miss Taylor, a teacher from Brazil. She

Never heard of them!

(se above) -Didn't he end up as a pilot trainer or trainee or
something. He quit when I'd just started uni. Used to see him at the
shops in cliffewoods from time to time.

My wife went there 81 - 84, she had this to say....

Mr Stevens - Bit posh and serious. Ex public school boy type. Taught me
English which would explain a lot

Mr Munday - V. popular teacher. Cool teacher and knew it. Nickname
Dangermouse - had same initials. I couldn't stand him. He always wore too
much aftershave. I thought he was gay actually.

Mr Thomas - a good bloke though

Blakey - Tosser

Mrs Oak - I think it was Mrs OKE actually. She was my form teacher in my
last yr. Yes, good at Maths, but did hand out detentions like smarties. In
fact once gave me a detention because SHE lost my homework. Never forgiven
her. She didn't even apologise when she found my homework. My one and only
detention. Thought I was going get so done by parents and it was all her
fault.

Mr Blake - Right tosser. Sports teacher. Even my Mum had a row with him!

Mr Price - Definitely a bit odd. I thought he got the sack for throwing a
boy across the dining hall!

He was cool... I completely forgot about the dangemouse nickname!

> Mr Thomas - a good bloke though

He sure was. Rhys Thomas was sort of a mate. Mr Thomas was his Dad.

> Blakey - Tosser

didn't like him too much while I was there... well he did force us to
freeze our balls of playing rugby.
But out of school, and once I'd got to uni he was actually quite a cool
guy.

I can't beleive how similar our responses are! See my earlier post!
Actually I think it was Oke. I got a few detties too for her failures!
And I thought I was one of the goodie boys who whould never do anything
wrong.
In contrast, there was a guy called Lee (forget his last name). He had
a permanent detention for a year all thanks to Oke!!!!

So two things to say... (If they ever stumble across the archives)

1 Up yours Mr. Munday you Analy retentive bore.

2. Thanks to Miss Best and Mr Barron from HoHSchool for
recognizing my efforts.

And who's your wife... ? Not Anne Tyler (or would have been)
Oh brother, I had a gym class from hell :))
Blakey yeah ... red headed penis with a vitamin deficiency.
Mr Thomas... great geezer, Rhys Thomas nice bloke with flat top head.

Mr Price well, weirdo or what ?

Justin Bishop and Louise Fletcher...Sam Russell and Rachel Green..

I remember Mr Thomas. Strangely he passed on the one piece of advice that I
have always followed to this day, and have passed on to many of my
colleagues. I remember being sat down in a Science Lesson with him when he
imparted the immortal rule 'RTFQ (or Quote' Read The Fucking Question"

We had a Justin in my class... forget his last name.
Louise Fletcher's Dad was My Mum's boss. (Travel Agent in Strood). Sam
Russell was OK. Used to like her way back in 2nd year CWMS. I think she
even asked me out once. Rachel Green? Wasn't her dad the vicar or
something? Didn't she become a biker?

> There's more...

Here's a list of names... (do they match any mental facial images?)

Shaun Long (who was short), Richard (shaun's friend), Wayne West, Mickey
West, Boggy (Andy Codling?), Debbie Welch, Karen&Sarah Marshgreen
(emigrated down-under), Karen&Sarah Woodger, Neil&Sally Woodger, Dean
Kitchen, Marsha Straun (always wondered what happened to her!), Ian
Thomas...

I have 1 piccy somewhere. It is the 6th Form last ever piccy for my
year. I'll try and hike it out, scan it and bung it on the web too.

Somewhere I have some pics of a trip to Thorpe park... I saw them last
time I moved house, and i keep everything. Never chuck out anything me.

Mr. Thomas was my teacher in 4th yr (well half of it). Was sort of sad
when he quit, cos he was a good teacher.

We then got some ponce with a guitar... I can't even remember his name.
All I remember was him playing songs with lyrics like "Jon
kernacker-nacker too rye ay".

He had to teach us sex education, but didn't have the guts. A real woos
(sp?) if there ever was one.

(Hope he doesn't read u.l.r!)

No I know Rachel Green she dated my ex-husband for a couple of years, really
nice girl. Certainly not a biker, in fact she got married last year, it was
her dad who married her (and her husband!!)

Does anyone remember someone thieving a couple of Mr Munday's 'cartridges'
for his synthesizer ?
Just curious .....
I remember Mrs Ackerley used to be my form tutor . We had one of those
wooden 'mobile' classrooms . She was quite cool , even when I managed to
stamp a hole in the floor , melt a chair on the heater and break a window on
the door , she still stuck up for me !
Anyone remember the sponsored crap we had to endure each year ? I always
opted for the sponsored silence . That was the easiest option !!

Thank you Mr.Manual.... I'll remember you when I need , er...,
Well thanks anyway :)

Rach' and I went out for quite some time,
She had a heart of gold underneath the rebelious exterior...
her brothers Dav and Dave were nice blokes.

Drifted apart when she went a bit 'Ooo lala' ...

Now I'm going back to dig out this illusive photie album.

Fuck me those feckng synth carts.
He made everyone's life hell at cwms when they went missing. He set his traffic lights outside his office to red and screamed at everyone in the school.
Monday u still hate you to this decking day you grey haired fucked up poof of a mincing teacher. You knew feck all and provably still know feck all.
He's very old now and probably living his life out with liver problems or lung cancer he used to smoke so much.

Mrs akers was cool although she had hairy arm pits. I actually liked her as a teacher. She could like speak a million lauguages. I met her again a few years after starting work and she was really friendly.
I remember registration in Latin numbers.

Mr Blake ginger cunt.

Mr gay Chambers was cool. Mr Browne as well great science teacher and loved to play folk guitar isle of man company anyone ?

Went there 84 - 87.

I remember proxy dance pe with ladbrooke who had fairly large titties which we all logged at. And watching Wimbledon when it was on which seemed to go on for a while term.

Mrs platts massive piano in the music room which was out of tune. Mondays synths cunt.

Proxy French eclair books and those tapes which never worked.

Goerge and bungle and falling off a chair called a herald. After the herald of free eneterprise that went down off coast of France.

What the fuck was that proxy long story all about ?

There were some boffins like tangees who wrote three exercise books about shit. Well bollox to that shit.

Haven't seen you since 3rd year hop. Some 27 years.
Hope life's treating you well mate.

I remember us rigging the back door of the mobile class room so we would be able to get in during lunch and break time.

Si bell, you, me, Kim Mooney and Romany Denis. We all used to dos around the mobile at lunch times.

I remember you stamping through the floor. Proper funny.

I remember having a scrap with Stuart marsh on the steps of the class room. To think that he was killed coming ifd his bike just the other side of the field from there eight years later.

Those carts of cunt mundy were found by si bell and myself under the lockers. You should have thrown them into the field. I would have. He was such a cunt.

OMG ...... ..

Flash backs .....
remember most of the teachers mentioned ...

Mr Mundy was horrendous .... “cool” .... was shocked reading this .. although I can think of reasons why some of you think that ...
he was a total wrongen ... sure his now (or some years ago now) only allowed to teach boys !!

Wanted to mention some stuff to him actually.. found him on FB ..& wasn’t surprised when he didn’t except my friend request ..
I remember getting the whole class to go on strike, except Tony M (he played along) untill last break, then threatend calls Home or detention ... so that left only me ..
he put me in top everything as he said I was lazy & spent too much time with the older boys ..
this actually had a deverstaing effect on the rest of my education ..
KNOB The man is a sick fuck ..... I know of a few girls in my year that could varify that
He “just for fun” tied one of the girls to the footie pitch with her knickers showing ... Sarah I think her name was
Anyone remember that ?

MR Pricey ; another weirdo... used to go around pinging the girls bra straps

Andy ? Stevens ... had a laugh with him ...
he taught my older brother for longer
Sure he had a lot to do with PE Then ... & my dad helped our a lot & made the big blue steps I think they were .. so he was over our house a lot then ..... a lot of the teachers were .. having a good ole knees up ..

Can anyone remember the drama teacher Tina something ???? She relocated to teach in Hong Kong before I started (gutted) taught my brother ... 1970 his birth year ..

Wish I could see original post while writing this ... can’t rememebr now the other teachers & ALL the crap I had to share .....

Thanks for posting this brought back LOADS Of memories

Must need sleep : it was Andy Blake I meant when I was talking about Stevens .....

I had a laugh with him ... although wasn’t in any of his classes ... sure he was head of year ...

& frazer was it ..? The gay teacher
I remember calling him a bugger .... not knowing what it meant lol
He had a total meltdown & sent me home .. to look up the meaning & write it out like a hundred times ...
soon as I got home & told my nan & grandad they hit the roof & went up the school 😂
My grandad also had Mr Mundy by the scruff of his neck on one occasion ...... he tried getting me to scrub some shit written on the girls loos ... calling one of the girls a slag ... convinced it was me ..
dragged me there by my ear ... it wasn’t me & no I didn’t scrub the wall .....
