What were your house names at school?

[S.T.U cgull]

YES

Unless Amberley was some sort of post-1988 change I wasn't aware of. Can't see that, as the others are all place names around Hurstpierpoint. Amberley, on the other hand...?

I was there in 1998-2004 so I can only presume Amberley is wrong! (Danny house for me) - everyone hated Pakyns

 

[foul old ron]

1968-75. Hurst.

1970-75. Hurst. Red colours I think, wasn't it?

 

[viscentaye]

Oak
Willow
Chestnut
Ash

I was in Oak.
Oak never won.

Westdene Primary?

 

[KZNSeagull]

I left warden park in 2001 so may be different.

Weald wasnt one of them and Coombe was red and Downs was blue.

Must have changed then. Heath was red when I was there, Coombe was white. Beacon Orange, Forest was green and the other 2 were yellow and blue but not sure which way around. I left in 1982.

I don't wish to be rude here. But I'm just imagining the hilarity amongst other kids if you were put in a house called "Downs"

I can honestly say that I never heard any slurs at our school re that. Plenty of others mind...

My wife went to school in SA and says her house names were Jefferson, Lincoln, Washington and Franklin for some reason. Every morning they would have to parade in the playground, sing the national anthem and salute the SA flag!

[BarnhamBlue]

LCS boy!

I was, but many many many years ago! I was in Highdown.

 

[foul old ron]

I think the houses were:

Hurst
Collyers
Denne
Mercers

I was in Denne, which is why I remember!

1956-62. Hence my Username!

Definitely St Leonards in the seventies. Must have changed it after you left.

 

[Marine Boy]

Another old collyerian 1973 -78 in hurst , definitely red and at Leonard's must have replaced Denne

 

[sod1]

I didn't know that. I was Plummer! I was there when our head was a Rimmer.

Rimmer started while I was there , I left in '83

Drawing an almost complete blank on Haywards Heath VI form, I was in Spicer but haven't clue what the other houses were, any ideas?

Yes, Hurst was red.

 

[Gblocksouthstand]

Indeed - Cottesmore St. Mary'S R C Primary School

Then on to ...
Gloucester (Green)

Kent (Blue)
Windsor (Yellow)

Hove County Grammar School for Boys

and that is all

 

[BN9 BHA]

I was in Truleigh

Got another one for Fawcett, I'm sure we had Windover.

Firle.
Windover.
Truleigh.

I'm not sure if we had 4 or 6.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Yep - early 80s

My wife was at Tideway.

 

[fat old seagull]

Junior...

Scott
Livingstone
Shackleton*
Rhodes

Senior...

South Africa
Canada
New Zealand
Australia *

Of the Houses seen thus far I'd say 'Downs' is one I not own up to. But 'Uranus' is most definitely one I would deny I'd ever been in.

 

[BN9 BHA]

When I was at Patcham Fawcett we never had names that I can remember but letters and numbers, A1 A2 B1 B2 B3 C1 C2 A being for the biff ins and C for the not brainy ones, I was in the middle. 1983-87

That was just class numbers, house names were a different thing, I'm sure that Fawcett did away with houses when I was there in the late 70s.
