I guess there were some good teachers at the school. Law of averages means that there must have been. Sadly, the whole structure and organisation was horribly wrong in my opinion though. Even teachers that I got on with, I ended up distrusting in the end. I did well in the first couple of years or so (still hated it but did reasonably well) and was liked by the teachers. Things went very much downhill after that.
Does anyone remember Tony Wiltshire and David Flatt (Music teachers), Mr. Dee (English), Richard Price ("Dickie") who taught French? And the rather unusual character Roland Polastro?
I remember a few that I particularly disliked. Johansson (RE) and Innes (woodwork) and, I think, the whole of the P.E. department without exception.
Like I say, there must have been some good teachers in there somewhere.
