Tre 0 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Anyone go to this school back in 1967ish. Me & my sister both attented this school. We wasn't cathoics, but my mum is & she got them take us on. I remember the nuns & a german male teacher. The headmistress was, Sister frances. I cannot find anything on the net about the school & the nuns, only details of the school today. Would love to hear from anyone that went to the school. We didn't stay there long. We were always on the move & to a different school. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 The only St Augustines school" I know of was in Carlton . I didn't go , I went to St Pauls C of E. but a couple of friends of mine went there, around that time too, Carol and Vivian Lewis, and a couple of brothers named Alex and Raymond (I don't remember their surnames) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Limey 242 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I thought one of the Catholic secondary schools was "Loreto" - but it may have been an all-girls school! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tre 0 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Or are you referring to the one on Park Avenue, off Mapperley Road? Yep thats the one I've been trying to find out if the nuns still do the teaching there. Sister Francis used to scare the living daylights outa me lol Me & my sister got the cane across our hands a few times lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'm glad it's a different one to the the one in Carlton (As I can't ever recall seeing a nun in the area!!...(We didn't have bad habits!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moondog 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I am from an Italian family and my first ever school (1966/67) was St Augustines on what is now Westville Gardens, next to the St Augustines Church on Woodborough Rd. The school has been knocked down I don't know when but there is a community centre there in its place.The church is still there. I then transfered to another St. Augustines on Southcliffe Road in Carlton. This is now called Sacred Heart Catholic School. I was there from 1967/68 up until 1972. I would welcome any news from pupils from that era. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Benvenuti Moondog I did take some Christening photos at St Augustines in the late 70s, you would probably know the family. They lived in Gedling and then moved to the top of Woodborough Road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siddha 826 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Me and most of my brothers and sisters went to "Gussies" in the 50s and 60s. Sister Francis was a toughie!! I was there 1953-59! There's a bit more info on Friends Reunited if you can be bothered to navigate through it. I liked the site in its early days but now.............??? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Went there until '73 sister Francis was evil as was Shulman and Burns and the horrible casey !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karlton 582 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I went to St Agustines on carlton hill in 1945 to 1951. I wasn't a catholic but it was the nearest school in those days. they talk today of kids bullying kids but there it was the teachers who were the bullys. I saw one lad so terrified of the headmaster whilst learning to read at his desk a puddle of urine appeared at his feet on the wooden floor. Another boy was kicked hard in the behind by the headmaster for not getting into line quick enough, the lad squealed with pain. there was only a couple of decent teachers there.

Blondie 1,392 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I thought one of the Catholic secondary schools was "Loreto" - but it may have been an all-girls school! Yes it was Lorreto, but it was St Catherine's first and it was an all girls Catholic Grammar School back in the 1960's...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siddha 826 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Ah I fondly recall the St Catherine's girls........... In the early 1960s I was at The Becket which was the boys catholic grammar and many of the boys had sisters at St. Catherine's, if we had not got to know girls across the river at Mundella, then we would try to get to know girls at St Catherine's through their brothers.

Blondie 1,392 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I dated a guy from the Beckett School, he was called Joe Doherty............I knew many St Catherine's girls too....... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
