We Survived Stockwell Park School!

I realise this is a page that was set up over 10 years ago. I was thinking of setting this up as a group instead as this will allow everyone to post on the wall and interact with each other (you can't do this on FB Pages).

Is there an appetite for this? (please like and comment with your thoughts if you agree)

I was a physics and electronics teacher at Stockwell Park from 1984-1987. I was Mr Nicholls back then, I took my wife's name on marriage. My wife took these photos yesterday, some of you might remember Mr Mick Smith (physics and electronics) and Mrs Charlotte Rattenbury (drama and English). They both taught at SP for a lot longer than me! I'm in the blue hat. - John-Paul Coetzee

It is with great sadness that I post this. A fellow member of the group, Char Read, informed me Mr. Dabs who taught maths, has sadly passed away. This is all the information we have to date.

If has anymore information please share it on this post.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

I'm going to be sending an email to Mr. Utley's daughter to print off and let him read it (She has said he is a little unwell and thinks a nice message will help him feel better)

If you would like to contribute to the email with a personal message/memories/photos etc... please PM me and I will copy and paste it in to the one I send.

Please remember - if your name has changed since school days, please include the name you were known by back then xx

If anyone has *any* photos from your days at Stockwell Park, please share them with us here.

I cant remember who shared this (Thank you for doing so) however I wanted to ask if it is possible to post a clearer version of it on here please? I'd be very grateful.

Good news!! I have just had confirmation that Peter Utley is still alive!!

It is with deep sadness that I make this post.
I was recently informed by Charlene Fluffycho Howard and Martin Stevens that Mr La Mothe recently passed away.

I'm not sure of the details. I'm sure you'll all join me in remembering his time with us.
Please feel free to post your memories of him below

I was alerted to this post on another group. For those of you who knew Mr. Winsor, he sadly passed away last week.
For all of you who knew him, please post your best memories of him in the reply section.

Our thoughts are with his family.

Anyone know a teacher called Valerie Jenkins who taught at the school when it was Stockwell Manor?

Obituary: Valerie Jenkins Obituary: Gifted inner-city educationist who raised her pupils' sights.

Remember these? Who still has theirs?

School trips! Whether it was a day trip out or a long stay somewhere we all new how to get up to mischief... where did you go? What did you get up to?

Does anyone have any photos stashed away that they would like to share of their time at the school?

A Message/Question from Frank Rowe:

Does anyone have any information about the BBC recording of the school choir in around 1973/4? I was part of the choir and wanted to track the recording! Thanks to anyone who can help

Hello all. Sorry it's been quite a while.
I had someone message me about the story of the girl who commited su***de at SPS during some point of its history. The one I heard was she was in a relationship with a teacher who called things off and this prompted her su***de. Anyone have a different take on it or know where I go on it can be found please?

For those of you who didn't believe that Brian May, from Queen, taught at SPS

Maths Is My No 1 - Brian Interview - Daily Mirror 10 Dec 99 Back in the early Seventies, before he joined Queen, Brian took up teaching. Maths was a natural choice as he had studied it while majoring in physics at university.

Just found this...

Any survivors remember this visit?

Why dont we start up a school skill swap? There are hundreds of us to do it so it should work.

How it works: List what you need help with and someone who has the skills to help, comes forward and helps. The transaction might involve more than two people who swap skills to all help each other.

For example, if someone needed legal advice, and we have members who work in law, they can step forward and help. The original person may not be able to help that person back directly, but instead they can use their skills to help someone else, who in turn may be able to help the original helper.

What do you all think?
