Was this your School ?

I'll 'fess up first then shall I, seems no one else wants to admit going there.

I attended in the eighties and started the year a Mr Absalom took over as headmaster. I went to Hillside Primary & Junior on the Noctorum estate so Ridgeway was the natural progression for me, (my old man seemed to think B.I. was the kind of place he wanted his son to attend but i knew it was where they sent kids expelled from other borough schools... I was having none of it).
It seemed to have a bad reputation at the time and I remember an article the previous year, in the S*n newspaper, about drug dealing in the playground. The new headmaster seemed to turn thing's round a bit although at that point I think the only way was up!

a mate of mine used to go there. chris watkins?

doesn't ring a bell with me...

never mind that, look at your dog. cool

Thanks very much!

Google Shambo...

I went to Ridgeway - '87-'92 I think.

Head teacher changed in my stretch there - Mr Absalom, then Mr Duffy.

I went there! 90-94 i think lol mr duffy was the head!

Lol, you must have only been a year or 2 behind me

Is this the shell of a building you can see from the Upton bypass? I wish they;d hurry up and knock it down - such an eyesore.

...that was St Benedict's RC School

must be getting on a bit. Ridgeway along with the nocky was was just green fields when i was a schoolboy. milk came in bottles with cardboard tops that you made a hole in the middle to pour the milk out off and then used the tops to play nearest to the wall with. chriskay and a few more will remember the milk bottle tops

Yup ! The cardboard tops were good for flicking around class ! Remember when they changed to foil tops, we were all given a red plastic dooferiser thingy oojar whatsit for pressing the top down, so you could get it off easily.

Reeeeeeeel high tech stuff !

Certainly do. We used to keep them on a string threaded through the centre hole.

I don't remember that
