yeah mr hill was a madhead

I went there from 1991 - 1996, The Scud was still around, Mr Thompson, Mr Yarrington, Mrs Coates.

When I was in lower school Mr McKinnon taught me, he was sound!!! My form tutor in upper site was Mr Thomas, Basil Fawlty

I was there 78 - 83; form teachers Reid, Corcoran, Byrne (3G1, 4G1, 5G1); can't remember who it was in 6th form, although I think Mrs Gourlay took us for a while. Lovely was housemaster as already said by several people.

I was there 1982-1985; 1982 was the year Somerville Middle School closed down for good, I got the cane three days before the end of the very last term there (Was I the last ever? I'll never know). Mr Dunn was the headmaster at Somerville and transferred to Mosslands - anyone remember his green VW Campervan?

Going back to Mosslands, Mr Margates and his Bat Cape! Did he wear a mortar board as well? Charles 'Penguin' Scudamore, I heard he shot his toes off so he didn't have to go to war hence his penguin walk, but that was probably made up.

John Thompson was my form teacher, a great guy. I remember Mrs Wessencraft (English Lit), Mr Fenna (Art), he used to make pupils put the unused paint back into the paint bottles!

A great school and many fond memories.

I heard that M Guyomar died recently - apparently he'd moved to New Zealand.

Mr Watson aka hotdog died a year or 2 ago. I knew him from Rockville.

I went to mosslands and left in 1981, Mr Mitchell was the headmaster and it was a great school...happy days.

I left in 1977 ....Form teacher was Miss Hale. She thought she was gorgeous in her short skirts but had legs big enough to keep the Wallasey flyover from sinking into Bidston Moss!

yes they where getting it on, there room was right by where we lined up for lunch, she was bang tidy, nice tight trousers,

i was in farraday and had many run inns with mr smith,

mr harkness and mr yarrington where good teachers

mr hill was my RE teacher in lower school, he used to smoke his pipe in class, my burn scared the shite out of me, and mr fenna used to spit at you when he spoke to you,

Judging by the standard of spelling and grammar from those who have posted about how bad the school was it seems that I did well to have attended it before the advent of comprehensive "education"! By the way, Mr "Margates" was, was, in fact, Mr Margetts (Norman). We knew him as "Telstar" due to his tinted glasses which, at the time, were quite exotic and high tech.

Ah, welcome singeingbobby ! Nothing like a bit uv old fashunnned grammur policing of are reszidents for a maiden powst eh. Loverly. Enjoy the forumm -

Went to Wallasey Technical Grammar as it was called then, back in 1970 to 74 worst time of my life, the teachers should have worn Nazi armbands! anyway i think they are all dead now!
