Came across some old photos of friends and am now on a nostalgia trip. Moved from Minster to Sheerness and lived in Thames Avenue. At Mile Town, I remember a fab teacher, Mr Pegg. At the 'Central', I was in form 1AW with the nice gent Mr Whale as the form teacher. Some names flash to mind: Graham Thwaites, Neville Cutting, Trevor Sewell, Mike Podlasinski (sorry for wrong spelling), Geoff Baker, Peter Firth, Peter/Trevor Dickson, Paul Gisbey (whose parents had a wonderful cobblers shop in town), Gilson, Hancock, Andy (Young?). Summers at the arcade, recs or the canal. Fishing for crab. Great to hear from anyone who remembers me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514579351332993887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367416329197066280.post-3589686849727772672021-06-06T00:08:23.679+01:002021-06-06T00:08:23.679+01:00Hi Robin,

We lived in a chalet in Leysdown after returning to to UK from Norway. Moved to Halfway before starting SSS in September. Remember the cross country runs, rugby, garden plots & school dinners. I suppose it was the school dinners that made me go into catering as a career. Thoroughly enjoyed my time at the school & though I don't live in Kent anymore, still visit the island regularly.

I was also at Eastchurch Primary School from 1961to 1966. I remember the ^-Day Week Timetable at the Secondary School. I was in my first yearthere when there was the fire and burglary at Christmas and all the boys in the school were fingerprinted, and we had to go to other schools (including old empty ones) for some of the lessons afterwards. Cross country runs along the canal down to Minster and back along the beach were often run and I was in the school team for Cross country running. I remember the woodwork teacher Mr.George. The PE teachers, Mr Eardly and Mr Peglar. The English Teacher Mr. Tucker I was a wek late starting at the school and My class was 1AW with Mr Wale as form teacher. My First Lesson was with Mr Richardson, who within minutes of the lesson starting called me out to the front of the class, slapped me around the face and pushed me against the wall shouting Don't you ever smile in my class again. Mr Smart was Headmaster, I had Mr Thomas as For Master in the second year in 2AT and he taught us science as well. I had Mr White the Geography Teacher as my Form Master in the 3rd year in 3JB. I would be interesting to hear from anyone who was at the school.
