I must have been a good boy as he never hit me but because I hated Footy he sort of left me alone cos he knew I wasn't interested and I was never going to ply ball and I didn't like him either.

Remember Paddy O'hanlon the art teacher, he used to knock pupils about.

The trouble with that school at least when I was there was you could get caned for nowt, I got caned when someone fell on top of me when I was sitting down in the playground and the teacher though it was a fight, definitely got punished first and then asked questions whilst in that school.
The head teacher was D H Jones when I was there.

yes I remember Evans as well or "Chimpman" as we called him.
One of a crew of bully boy sadistic child tormentors that taught at that nut house..I was beaten many times and on occasion sexually abused..although we didn't see it as that at the time,all a bit of a laugh..
Evans,O'Hanlon,Mr(hom you up)May,Gill,Webb,Bowie,Birkett,Jackson,Stockley ect...would have made perfectly good camp guards for a concentration camp if they hadn't gone into teaching..A good schooling in guerilla warfare but little else.
Did anyone else have any "experiences" with Mr May ?

The school didn't have the best reputation but I had a great time there.
