Snap but different years

Friars Infants & Juniors (Shoeburyness) - 1975 to 1982
Shoeburyness Comprehensive School - 1982 to 1987

I was at Shoebury from 1982-1999 (done a 6th form)

 

[Kent Shrimper]

Prince Avenue 1980-1986
Eastwood 1986-1991
Eastwood 6th Form 1991-1993

 

[Medway Blue]

Chalkwell Hall Infant School (1993-1996)
Chalkwell Hall Junior School (1996-2000)
Westcliff High School for Boys (2000-2005)
Westcliff High School for Boys 6th Form (2005-2007)
University Campus Suffolk, Ipswich (2007-)

Chalkwell Hall was an excellent school until a year or so after I left, constalntly being beaten by only Westleigh in Southend's primary school exam performance tables and sending 20-30 children to the grammar schools each year. The place has gone down the pan now.

Judging by what I've read here and heard from my dad, WHSB was a hard place to be in the 60s and 70s, but my years there were very happy ones.

highfields (leeds) 90-92
Leigh County Jr/North Street 92-97

That was a long time at school! I take it you kept staying on to pass your maths exams!!! :dim:

:whistling:

 

[The Big Shrimp]

Yeah, they abolished approved schools ages ago now ;)

You're not wrong! I went to Fairfax High School For Boys between 1976-1981 & it was rough!! A kid instead of getting the cane off a teacher, got a thick wooden chair leg across the arse at full whack another booted up the arse with the power of a Clarkey hoof out of defence & there were fights between pupils & teachers! A crap school!

I went to numerous infant & junior schools, never staying at one for more than 2 years, due to moving. Locally I went to Milton Hall (75-76) & Bluehouse Juniors, Basildon (73-75) My favourite school was a little village school in Saxton, Yorkshire, where there were two classes for different age ranges. every Tuesday & Thursday we were allowed to play on the climbing frame! It was also next door to where I was living!!

Clever boy.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Eeek! I had to run the gauntlet of you Belfairs Boys on the way to and from school from 68 to 73 - being WHSB I was an easy spot. :'(

Yes, i remember some of 'rabble' who used to brag of going 'westcliff high bashing'. Not me as i lived in the broadway and headed off to that horrible old s***hole every day via Hadleigh Road.

Tell your dad from me that any school with him in it would have been a hard place to be!

[Cricko]

God this is going to be long.

Dark Lane ..Thundersley
Hamlet Court Infants
Westminster College (Westcliff Boarding School)
Highfield College (Leigh Boarding School)
Eaton House (Thorpe Bay, I was the only boarder there)
Fairfax High. ( when my parents could not afford to send me away any more)

Years,ermmmm ages ago.:'(

 

[A Century United]

you left WHSB the year before I started
though you went to the clever boys junior school - i went to the dunces infants & juniors - blenheim

If Westleigh was the clever boys school I must have been an imposter. I only went to WHSB to knock the rough edges off it and smooth your path, Paul!

Not a bad walk home, but a bit of an uphill on the way to school for you. Being WHSB meant no one loved us, or that's what is seemed like - especially with Tommy More across the road.

 

[Lord Football]

1982-1987 Thorpe Greenways
1987-1994 Southend High for Boys

Snap, my years were 73-79 and 79-84 where I got out as quickly as my fat, stubby legs could carry me.

Don't talk to me about Hadleigh Road, Highfield college used to be on the corner of Burnham Road and Hadleigh Road and every morning including Sundays we were made to walk the whole of the Marine estate..I hated boarding school with a vengeance and never understood how I was at boarding school most my life whilst my sisters were at home....:'(

I found out many years later of course before my Mother died..it still did not make it any easier as a kid.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Didn't know we had any boarding schools in Southend.
