I never made it to New Heys though, 'cos we moved to Netherley during the summer and I went to Netherley (Community and) Comprehensive School - The Comp, to us plebs!... I was a 'B' block inmate at the Comp and had Barry Whitbread (ex-Runcorn and Altrincham player) as my PE teacher. Cracking guy - he played against Liverpool (Dalglish and co) at Anfield in the FA Cup and later emigrated to Canada to teach PE and footie over there. His son, Zack, later played for Liverpool!
Got away from the 'Pool when I was old enough, and drifted back over the years before returning home, North of the border and then ending up in Norn Iron some 14 years or so ago! I still visit now and again and catch up with my bessie mate, who lives in Woolton for a couple of bevvies when I'm back.
The pic is of myself and my eldest sister circa '74/'75 when we were both still pupils at C of E.

i did too. but as i'm a few yrs older i went back when it was still called warwick bolam before it amalgamated with contess. i also used to live in litherland its where i hung about mostly when i was a wee thing of 18 - the lithie & clouds & follies (well i think thats what it was called hopfully i'm not getting its name mixed up with fallows..) it was a rock night on a thursday. it was funny we'd spend saturdays all dressed up in heels & lippie all glam for clouds. then on a thursday night we'd be all long skirts & denim shirts tied at the waist?? with little sandals i remember that tied up your leg. doing a whole rock/hippie chick kind of a vibe! a little before your time you'd have still been only in 1st/2nd yr seniors.Quote:

i soooo have to apologise for the above it was soooo off topic!! once i start i can't stop obviously.
35 years on and I've got the same sinking feeling as I used to have getting on the bus in school uniform, doing a quick check to see who was going to take the piss out of me... I went to Stanfield (Merchants Girls juniors) and Merchants Girls. Ooo, there's posh. Hats, blazers an' all.
Edit: and leafy suburbs of course.
I went to Tiber St. from 1946 to 1952,Miss Bell was Headmistress and Mr Bath was head teacher. Miss Cribbin was one my teachers in junior school and Miss thomas was my first teacher in infant school (I had my first crush on her). Moved to Garston in 1952 in July,spent two weeks at Banks Rd.and then went to Gilmour Heath Rd. Was there from 1952 until the spring break in '57. Mr Simpson was Headmaster and Mr Norris was head teacher. Happy days!!

St Margaret's (briefly), Granby St then Alsop (started before it went comprehensive). I hated it too but, with hindsight, it was probably better than a lot.Quote:

Lidderdale Road (Smithdown Road) 1945 to 1947 nursery and ps. I remember the Jews being required to leave the hall for assembly.
Granby Street ps 1947 to 1949 Miss Scott was head mistress. I was caned for peeing in the grid in the play ground.
SFX Prep ( The Gables) Menlove Avenue. 1949 to 1951. I was severely abused physically and emotionally by Miss Horner aided and abetted by the Head Master Fr. McCann
St Clare's. Harington Road. 1951 to 1954 Mr Ratchford was head master Mr Costigan was a sadist.
Walton Technical School 1954 to 1958 Eddie Dunn was the head master. Mr Whally was inspiring. Mr Tyson was mentally retarded. I was caned for not having my cap on in the play ground.
John Hamilton Technical School 1958 to 1959
I, um, went to Farnworth Grammar School, near Bolton. But there is a Liverpool, or rather, Everton Link...
Its also the School that Alan Ball attended in his youth. The English teacher there, Mr Stevens, still remembered him. He used to live (his mother still did I believe) near to us, a few streets away by the New Bury area of Farnworth.
Another famous pupil was Kenneth 'They think its all over' Wolstenholme, who came from nearby Walkden. Now isn't that a coincidence?
Shamefully, the school became a victim of Thatchers fear of 'Elitism in the Working Class' mistake in 1983, and was closed, which had a profound effect on the rest of my education.
When I was in school back in the dark ages, every kid in the city was given a souvenier of the coronation. I still have mine and it has never been used.

No he didn't. I went to school with Derek Twigg. He went to Our Ladys Junior school and Fisher Moore secondary modern in Widnes. At that time The Wade Deacon was a Grammar school and Derek Twigg never passed the 11 plus.
St Margarets L8 (Now call St Margarets of Antioch)
St Anne's, Overbury Street
St Agnes Secondary, L13
St Agnes School, Broadgreen Road, was built sometime in the 60s. It was knocked down in the early 80s I think.
St Margarets school is still there, just!
St Annes - still there, but with a "new" building (think the old one still there.
Hebrew School in Hope Place, now part of John Moores, next to the Unity Theatre, originally a synagogue.
King David Primary.
King David Senior.
Fonthill Road Primary 1925 -30 Can only remember Mr Stott the
Headmaster who helped me get a scholarship, and two teachers - Mr Irlam
who took me in his sidecar a couple of times to visit my grandparents in
Ormskirk (his family lived near Burscough somewhere) and Mr Kaye(nick-
named Kay-Kay,after the toffee very popular at that time). We were divided
into houses - Livingstone, Shackleton, Shaftesbury, and Wilberforce (I was in
Shaftesbury).
Alsop High 1930 -36. Mr Halford the Headmaster. He fought a losing
battle trying to persuade us to to lose our Scouse accents! I can remember a
few of the teachers - Mr Arundel who taught Spanish in between putting on
Gilbert and Sullivan operas (quite successfully) at Queens Drive Baths, Nat
Cooper the French teacher who just as unsuccessfully tried to convince us
that Rugby League was a much better game than football. And a few others,
but I'll stop there.
It's a sobering thought that for a brief moment they've been brought back!

I went to St Peter and Paul?s Crosby
St James Bootle
St Joan of Arc Bootle
Cardinal Newman Queens Drive
St Georges Mill Street
Thomas a Becket Spekeland road
Blessed John Almond Horrocks Avenue Garston
Moving around Liverpool I attended a few Schools my last school was in Garston the dreaded nun Gertrude had me expelled and I left with no other qualifications than being a seasoned playground fighter. Patrick Knight BSc Hon OU.
I went St Bonaventure in Walton, always known as "Bonnies". Since changed name to Archbishop Beck. Rubbish school but best Teacher was Brian King, the wonderful English Teacher, who sadly died young but not before ensuring half the scallies in the area developed a love of books. Wonderful man.
Hi,
Anfield Road Prep Mr Applebee Headmaster and A Miss Keysloe when I first started.Remember the big Red Cannonball of Cheese we all got as did most schools at the end of the war.It was a gift from the people of Holland in appreciation of them getting back their Freedom TheWoans,Grattons,MacQueens,Hoggs.Hunter,Blackwell ,Paget all great guys
and good school mates.
Then St.Margarets Anfield before the Church got burnt Down.Mr Simpson "The Boss" ruled with a rod of Iron and swung a mean cane.Cossie the French teacher if you fell asleep and your mouth opened he could get a piece of chalk in your gob from 30 ft.Smithy a tiny man with a Synthetic rubber Boomerang,had no hesitation of belting you across the face with it.Then a teacher got me to try for the Junior School of Art.Hope Street and Gambier Terrace.I wanted to be a Naval Architect come Draughtsman.Almost a complete disaster as normal subjects were left behind.But it was great with mixed classes.I see a Mr Eric MacGill is still alive and involved in a new Art Centre of Some Kind and He is 93 years Old.and would still be a gentleman and good teacher as he was in 1948.Mr Ballard ex British Army Middle weight Boxing Champion.He used to take us for boxing lessons.A male model was "Kid Tanner" and he used to help Mr Ballard.
Managed to catch up on all the Studies and became an engineer.Went to sea and Became a "P*** Artist". I still reckon they were the best days of my Life
at all the Schools.Had the last 2 1/2 years of Apprenticeship in Scotland and did studies at Paisley Tech.Those Teachers were brilliant and all Scots.
School of Art just had the edge over them all though Best Regards Ken B:034:
The teacher who most impressed me was an English teacher called Mr Melia at Thomas Beket. He encouraged the kids to be creative. It was a rough School and his lessons were a break from the endless offering out.:ninja:

Does anyone out there have any pictures of The Holt Comp School ? Especially the Olive Mount wing on Childwall Road ?
I went to Sandfield Park - brilliant school made me the person I am today I owe them a big Tank You for it. It was the only school I was allowed to attent with being a wheelchair user until Broadgreen opened its gates which is where I went to Do my GCSE's from 91 -94. Kids now a days have more choice with more and more schools being adaptable.

Double whammy - being in care and getting Gertie in charge of you: a sadist in a habit.
Yes it is wsteve55 integration is always a good sign now a days:handclap:
Just spent an hour going through this thread, some great stuff.
Me I went to:
Stocktonwood Primary--kept running away and spending time in the Damwoods and at Oglet Shore
Millwood Primary--Greenway Rd Speke--didn't run away from this one
Alderwood Junior School--Alderwood Ave, Speke
Speke Secondary School for Boys--Stapleton Ave, Speke
Great days they was back in the '50's and the turn of the '60's:202 (1):
Kevin: Well I tried to claim against them for abuse a few years back. They went out their way to hurt me. So any other Liverpool folk who go down that road they should be careful. The Church in Liverpool has held out for years against scandal whilst other places notably Ireland have tried to face up to it.One more point,they take away your right to remember your childhood!
I was on the 'other side of the fence'.Quote:
