Just came across this site by accident and started to look through it for any names that I recognised. I did go to Forest Hill Comprehensive - not sure of the exact years as I dont have me CV right in front of me. I do have a few memories/recollections though. I was in Reynold House (light blue flash on the blazer)if my memory serves me well I think the house master was Geoff Dolamore (something like that anyway. The school used to have an outdoor pursuits centre (an old school) in Aberllefenni near Corris - always enjoyed going there, especially the Slaters Arms in Corris. Nice Banks's beer from what I remember. Still go to that neck of the woods occasionally even though I no longer live in the UK. I remember initially having a maths teacher (with one arm - cant remember his name) - one of his amazing attributes was to lift a student in the air by the scruff of the neck if caught misbehaving or not paying attention in class. Later had a maths teacher (something to do with Newton house) who was fond of smoking and the odd gargle or two. Those where the days!!!! Fortunately I do not remember all the names of teachers, but that's probably not a bad idea given my recollections. Overall I think I had a good education there - certainly didn't do me any harm, though there were a few well known bullys at the school who did have a reputation for doing harm! Be interesting to see if anyone else has these kind of recollections. Remember having an English teacher who later went on to establish the Childrens Film Foundation. During our English classes we made two films: one based on a cross country run filmed near and around the schools sports ground on the Sidcup bypass, the other was made in Wales at the schools centre in Aberllefenni - Minus a Few was the title and unfortunately I remember some of the clothes that I wore during the film (at least I don't have them anymore - just the memories). Still it wasn't a bad way to spend English lessons - quite radical for the time.
