Looks like I was there from 1963 -1967/8, so currently reading through the posts from people there at the same/similar time. Definitely remember performing in HMS Pinafore, as a lowly policeman I think... my lot was not a happy one .
I do recall keeping bees but I can't remember the teacher who was in charge of that and also being in an aeromodelling group where we made, flew and wrecked model aeroplanes... I still have some paintings from the art classes.... and I recall carving figures out of blocks of carbolic soap...really tricky.
Reading the posts brings back memories of chemistry experiments (kids not allowed to do that these days). Then going down to Giddens the chemist to buy sulphur and saltpetre at the end of Turnberry Rd. Not for making fireworks of course .... how ever did we get away with it....but was hauled in front of Edge with my mother and given a dressing down for having a burn on my arm that he said must have come from acid... he hadn't a clue and my mother was quite worried by him. Also remember setting up a prank with Ianto Evans in science, forming a human chain from the van de Graf generator to the brass door knob and hearing him swear as he received the shock when he went to open the door to come in to class, and we ran to our desks. He had the last laugh though and called me out and just touched my elbow which gave me a large static belt and brought a smile to his face. Never quite figured out how he knew it was me...maybe my hair was standing up? Great teacher, one of the best in the school and I am sure my scientific interests were sparked from his classes (pun intended ). Not the best school in the world but many good memories as well as some not so good. Anyone remember who taught technical drawing around 1967? Was there a teacher called Bloxwich or is my memory playing tricks?
