Topic : Aire view School --are you proud of it ? |
|
| Alan Grosschmidt |
I have worked in Schools in Grimsby for the past 25 years, the School I am working in is only 3 years old, but the building is not a patch on the 132 year old Aire view school. Built to last and being built of stone looks great, are you as proud of our old school as me ? |

I'm sure that the staff and governors would be very pleased to hear you say that. I know that the current head has worked very hard over the years to improve the school, and she certainly has succeeded. It's a far better school in lots of ways than when I first walked through the doors to enrol my son in the nursery. He's now at university!  |

When I first started school in Silsden at the age of 5 the nursery was at the junction of Elliot str. and Prince str. It was run by Mrs Southwell. When we moved up to Aire View Miss Clark was the head.It was avery happy school,and every body new each other. |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) I also remember Mrs Southwell, she was my class teacher, way back in 1960, her husband was also my teacher in about late1966/early1967, though he was a teacher at Hoffield street school. Alan Grosschmidt its been a long time since we last spoke, did'nt know you'd took up teaching even..... |

In the late 60s top school was one of the best in the area with teachers of avery high standard. Teachers like Mr Rundle (joker) Mr Hagart (charlie) and all the others did great for Silsden and Addingham kids |

There must be a wealth of information re-Silsden's schools, my Grandmothers, Parents, oneself, and daughter all went there, sadly the line ends as daughter lives in foreign parts (Steeton) I started there in '57 going on the 'Top' School, I remember Charlie Haggart, Sammy Davis, The One armed Bandit, Barbara Waugh, Geoffrey (your in bother) Rundle, the Caretaker (Killer) Clarkson Perhaps we should pool our knowledge, the website manager may be able to help |

I remember all those teachers in the top school and commando Kelly the gym teacher, sadly we were the last proper first form before we all were forced to move to south Craven, the local council sold us down the river. |

I was in the the year before Silsden became an Annex for South Craven. A very sad year end. |

I and every kid on gloster and kent know the Grosschmidt lads and all there cousins that lived on kent. Robin when did start at the top school |
|
| robin |
I started in 1963 |
|
| coby1 |
I started in 64 and on the first day all the lads were thrown down the dungeons |
|
| Alan Grop |
We have been remembering our old teachers nicknames at the old top school,can you remember your old nickname mine was Grop so was my two brothers come to think of it. |
|
| robin |
RE Dungeons. As I remember they were the steps down to the Gym boiler room. I dont remember seeing anyone thrown down. But they were an ever present threat to first form boys, unthinkable now, what litigation would follow. Doe's anyone remember the decision to restrict the famous London Trip to girls only, following trouble one year. Again would they dare do that now? |
