A fresh entry!

Have been looking at the lists of Masters at Aske's and noted one omission:
  Roger Willis who was my English and form master for my first two
 years(65-6, 66-7).  I believe he was himself an old boy of the school. 
 He accompanied us on the then traditional trip to Scotland, 
when we stayed in a hostel between Fort William and Ballachuilish -
 before the latter had a bridge. 
 The other masters on the trip were Arthur Grant and Jeff Barber.
  Roger left the school before I did (72) and I believe he got a headship
 but I don't know where.
 
Roger, Tony Harding, Jack Allen, Chris Bratt and above
 all Dr 'Bert' Tigg were the teachers who influenced me most at the school.

recollect according to the room that I associate them with ,  starting from
room one and working upwards!

Roy Hart - geography and history
Mr Jones-Owen - economics
Bill Kerridge - maths
Dermot Poston - English

I know that there were several who came and went who I cannot not name, but
it soes make me
realise how low the turnover in staff was. Perhaps a shame as many of them
were such dreadful teachers!
 I am starting to get a bit
nostalgic and dead curious about what happened to everyone!

 

Any one got any idea of when "PERCY" Percival (both Maths and Form Teacher) retired?

There are a number of others whose faces I remember but I can’t recall their names as they didn’t teach me. I think the fact that a lot of the staff stayed so long is an indication that they liked the school, rather than that they were crap teachers who couldn’t get a job elsewhere. Having been a teacher myself, I can see that most of them were very good.

The houses during my sojourn were as follows:

Grants (red house button, tie and rugby shirt)

Brooklands (purple)

Hawkins (green)

Daykins (blue)

Gordons (until 1967, then Huberts until c 1970, then Barbers) (maroon)
