Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I left in 1962, they were just bringing in the 16 year old leaving age and gave us a chance, if we wanted to, to stay on an extra year.. When we asked what we would be doing in that year, they told us the same stuff we did in the 4th year, so nobody stayed.on... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 John Lord, do you recall a snotty young trainee teacher, can't think of his name now, but broke his arm about the time you'd finished your last year.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never understood why they didn't teach kids the basics of everyday life in that year...mortgages/tax returns/bank accounts/wiring a plug/putting up shelves. But no...the same old dross. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StAnnsChas 12 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Picking up on this topic Hunto I was there in the juniors then seniors, I left Christmas 1961. I know John Lord,l did not go to the reunion when you came over a while back say hello to Denis Fryer if you see him over there,although will see him when we meet up with a few of the old crowd next, around march time, theres usually about 6 or 8 of us depending who can make it including 1 or 2 of the girls from the juniors.Anyone from that period who wants to make contact please do.

Waddo 921 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 I were at hunto juniors before going to Roland green, the problem is, my school days are just a blur and trying to remember the years is difficult. Although i can remember starting off at the nursery on Bath st, at the top of the park. And then going to Shelton st infants and then onto Huntingdon st juniors before going to Roland green. Trying to work out the years though seems hard work for me, for some reason. Maybe someone can do it. I was born in 54. There are things that I do remember when my memory gets jogged.

nonnaB 4,893 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 I too went to Huntington school . I was at Shelton st then onto Huntington. I must have been about 10 when we left to live in Sherwood. We lived right opposite the school at no: 94. This must have been about 1952 because I spent the last junior year at Haydn rd school. I was born in 1942. When Princess Elizabeth came to Nottingham I think she travelled up Huntington st as my brother and I had our photo taken waving our flags and we certainly didn't go along the roads to cheer her. I vaguely remember her in a big car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
