I would have started senior school at Kings Rise in 1975. My first form teacher was Mr Penny and our class room was in the Hut that was in the Junior School playground. as ive said before Teachers i remember at the time include Mr Wright, Mr Doherty.Mr Bramley.Mr Bloxham.Mrs Murray.and Mrs Pappadamo she was very strict! oh and Mr toyne who seem to shout alot !!
Mr Maze came in as Headmaster while i was there,and Mrs Snell also joined the ranks. Does anyone remember the old cookery classrooms upstairs we always believed they were haunted Ha! and did not tend to hang about up there if we could help it. Oh and the two Colditz style Huts in the top yard were we did Needlework,teachers were Mrs White and Mrs Rowe.it was so cold in the huts during the winter we were allowed to wear our coats!
