did you have to wear a brown & yellow cap? Yes, even worse we had to wear a cap until the 6th form at the Priory. You had to wear uniform at all times, including week-ends. If the snitches saw you in town without it you got detention. That school was indescribably sh!te and I still get angry about it 40 years after leaving.

That school was indescribably sh!te and I still get angry about it 40 years after leaving. Must have been about 4 years after DaveFrom Alty, about 1957-62 in Convent/St Mary's then 62-69 in the Priory. In the intervening years, they relaxed the regime slightly - school caps only until the end of Year 10! Still uniforms for all at weekend though and still marauding, fascist prefects dead keen to show the authority vested in them by their controllers. A boys-only school ... very strange! Also strange was the fanatical hatred of football by the hierarchy. We had school rugby teams by the dozen, but not one football team. They would have banned football from the school yard if they'd thought they could get away with it. Barstewards! At least the comprehensive model dragged them screaming into the 20th Century - around 1980, I believe!

so was it you that CWEP caned? Yes, I was one of many. My crime was protesting when the music teacher (Priestley) hit one of my classmates around the head until he cried - aged 15! When CWEP died I went to his house and danced a jig of joy outside the front gate.

At least the comprehensive model dragged them screaming into the 20th Century - around 1980, I believe! The hatred of football was fuelled by snobbery. Luckily there were one or 2 teachers among the collection of drunks, incompetents, pederasts and sadists that comprised most of the staff, who tried to make life more bearable. Among them was the saintly Bernard (Fungus) Price who organised a saturday morning team, much to the disgust of CWEP. Fungus drove a 2CV and usually managed to cram 8 or 9 of us in for away games

The Wakeman 70-75. Excellent football school with very good teams at all ages. Abiding memory was seeing Terry Gennoe, ex Southampton and Blackburn recieve his England cap in front of the full school.
Only good memories really except for the terrible bullying i suffered at the hands of a doughnut munching bean counter. Still, i had the last laugh as i kept my looks and figure and he looks a right state.
