[Seagull on the wing]

When they built this school (1950) I was one of the first draft of pupils to go in, I lived at the Roundway Coldean .Headmaster Was Mr Hobart,other teachers were Mr Tulip,Miss Couderoy,Mr Lovell,Mr White,I left in 1954 to join the Navy. Was anyone else a pupil there?

By 1959 when I started Mr Williams was Headmaster. Mr Lovell was still teaching but I do not recognise any of the others that you mention. One or two names that spring to mind from my time there are Mr Brady (maths), Mr Jones (metalwork), Miss Britten (history), Mr Wills (pe), Mr Humpleby (not sure that is spelt correctly) who taught woodwork.

Falmer High - 1974-1979. It never done me no harm.

 

[Eastleigh Northstander]

Falmer High 1978 till expelled in 1981 Hated the place. Even had to do P.E in my pants for leaving kit at home. Punishments were harsh at that school, was smacked around regular by teachers. Had a much better time after changing schools. Those days were a much different time to these days lol

1981 ish, Misters Schildkamp, Burton, Andrews, Connell, Sandford, White, Pennell and Cuntlift,I had (not literally) a music teacher called Miss Drew, think she hung herself, and I remember a pupil set himself on fire and died and another poor soul I think it was Andy Prince got killed on the day of the cup final, Falmer was a miserable time for me (although I did later see Mr Karapiet in an episode of Auf Wiedersiehn Pet)

 

[Garage_Doors]

pe teachers

nick schildkamp ( still see himnat the Albion)
mr burton ( married miss hudspith........yummy)
miss smith (jolly hockey sticks)

I remember Schildkamp and Burton

Was there 72- 76/77

 

[PriapismBoy]

My mate at work says he was there in that year. He reckons Miss Drew wasn't the one who hung herself but she was having an affair with the History teacher there and he was the one that topped himself. My mate was in Cutler's class.

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Westlain for me too, 67-72
Gus Ferguson was the head, used to prowl the corridors in his black gown, Ma Berry was the head-mistress, she must of stayed on when it became Falmer.
Like to have a £10 for everytime that bastard Gus caned my arse, in his study and face the window, touch your toes, I'm sure he took a run up, hurt like fuc
Happy days though

Mr Wills was the Headmaster, had a hand in that Amway pyramid selling I believe.

Falmer - 1986 - 91.

My form tutor got beaten up (by pupils allegedly) and never came back to teach, so we never actually got to see him. Mr Williams was head, Mr "egg breath" Roberts was deputy. We made Miss Mead cry in English once..... Mr McLean the huge IT teacher, Ms Allen (had a wooden tit)....Ms Page was lovely....Mr Cole the RE teacher, get him talking about football and before you knew it the lesson was over! Mr Lepper the English teacher who went on to become an MP.

My son is actually at BACA today for his taster day before he goes in September.
