I would like to trace the whereabouts of our old next door neighbours in Cambrian Ave,Newbury Park June,Tony and Rodney Vivien. June was my childhood sweetheart and we lost touch when they moved as a family to Florida,in the late fifties early sixties.I always remember the Queen's Coronation and they were the only people in our road to own a television and we were invited to watch it.Rodney was disabled with Polio and was the youngest of the three.It would be lovely to hear from them or anyone who knnows of them.heres hoping Tony kingsnorth

Yeah I remember myparents delight when Mr Windle left the school. He didn't inspire respect with his teaching methods. Did he fall, or was he pushed?
I remember the bullying that went unpunished, particularly that Robert Larman and Jamie Gardiner. Horrible kids.
I also remember that Mr Eagland was long over due his pension. I doubt he did much time at a Teachers training college. The day was filled up with a hour of Maths. Handwriting practice. A chosen topic, and the last hour of the day War Memories.

Subject: School days in the early 1970's
|
I have no fond memories of my 6 years at the school. They were the unhappiest days of my school life.
I soon realized upon going to secondary school the poor standard of education I had received during my formative years. The teachers were poor, particularly the bigoted, war-obsessed Mr Eagland, who was a Dinosaur even then, with his limited teaching skills.Even today my feelings concerning the school are negative.
Fortunately my education got back on track once I was surrounded by good teaching staff.I hope the same was also true of all the other pupils who passed through the school gates.

Cannot believe anybody would log onto this site expecting to play games,surely its purpose is for former pupils to remember the good times at William Torbitt and to possibly make contact with old friends.I find the site very enjoyable and think Pauline and Geoff do a great job.If you're looking for good old nostalgia this is the place to go.

Subject: Looking for Marian (nee) Dunstan
|
If there happens to be anyone wishing to make contact I would be happy if they got in touch. One name I remember is Terry Morgan, during the bombing of Ilford quite a few of us from the school were sent and billeted out in Ipswich which also 'copped' it, he and I were billeted together.
Found this website when I was looking for Clarks College to see if I couild find the whereabouts of a lady by the name of Marian (nee) Dunstan who went to the girls Clarks College, living in Torento Rd., Ilford.
