I know the current head and deputy at St Paul's., which one I know .. well... er... better than the other 
is for now a secret!
The school is currently occupying the bottom floor of the Chetwyn Centre that runs along Friars Terrace. The Old School is being refurbished and extended and will be re-occupied in September when (Please God) the work is finished. It will be pretty unrecognisable, but the main part of the building including the Hall will be retained.

Northfields
Parkside Primary (New school opening.picture on front of Newsletter walking thru' gates
)
Kingston Middle School
Weston Road High School (again a new school opening)
I remember a classic lesson of English Lit in the 5th form.
We all sit down awaiting a double lesson of boredom when the teacher, Mr Hawthorn, announces that this lesson we'll be discussing the word f*ck and it's impact on the world of literature.
Best lesson ever.
Everyone took part and the fact that having a proper adult discussion was like an acceptance to the adult world.
An earlier post referred to a Mr. Hawthorn, same teacher?

the hot trolley was a stroke of genius.. anyone remember the daily competitions we all had to see how much food you could swipe for free by hiding it under a well placed pizza slice?Rob S said:
then when we all progressed to the dining hall, it was all about getting your ketchup for free by squirting it under your chips

Not the official 2520th poster!
Hermitage Primary = 1985 - 1991
Fives Acres County Primary = 1991 - 1992
Parkside Primary = 1992 - 1992
Sir Graham Balfour High School = 1992 - 1996
William De Ferrers Secondary School = 1996 - 1997
Stafford College = 1997 - 2000
Staffordshire University = 2000 - 2003
The Open University = 2004 - Present.
I highly doubt anyone here would have been to more than 4 of these places lol but if you did
Parkside my teacher was Mr Dutton. Anyone remember him? lol. I weren't there for long...April til July, then it was off to Balfour lol.
I had Mrs Day from Y7 to Y9.
Y10 I had Mr Redfern, who then changed to 6th Form so we had Substitute Form Teachers for a while, then I moved to Essex for Y11...
I was only taught by Mrs Cook(e?) for French in the first year (I truly sucked at French haha!), but as I was in Mrs Day's form, I did see her alot.
Does anyone who went to Balfour remember a one Rev. Prior? hehe.
He was totally class!
