the saint in winchester Posted 18 March, 2015 Share Posted 18 March, 2015 I'm a bit confused by this thread. At first I thought we were voting for what we deemed to the be the best 5 schools in the area. But it seems to just be a list of where we all went to school? OK.... John Keble Memorial Primary, Hursley Peter Symonds Grammar Peter Symonds Sixth Form College Eastleigh Tech Southampton Institute of Higher Edjerkashun aka Uni of Southampton One day I will travel, honestly. Apparently there's a wide world out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Stickman Posted 18 March, 2015 Share Posted 18 March, 2015 Anyone finish King Edward VIth in 1956 or 55? What about Peter Symonds in 88? I've heard it said that Symonds was the quickest learners ever to attend King Edward's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Garrett Posted 18 March, 2015 Share Posted 18 March, 2015 Ludlow Infants Ludlow Juniors Woolston Secondary. Passed every exam I ever took. Made the unwise decision to leave full-time education at the age of 16 to start my career of going out on the ****** a bit earlier than normal. Very foolish decision. My life has descended into a life of missed opportunities. I now have a job as a human punchbag, expected to beg people to do their jobs properly, and them making it seem like I am the devil incarnate.

pap Posted 18 March, 2015 Share Posted 18 March, 2015 I love what Juvenile Unit #1's mates said to her when she got to Uni. "Did you go to a comp? What was that like?" tbf, I did send the girls to Catholic school, which tend to be a bit better in terms of results up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 19 March, 2015 Share Posted 19 March, 2015 I went to Hamble Comprehensive during the Thatcher years, anything I have achieved in life it in spite of that bully-ridden sh!t hole not because of it. My main memories are of the classmates reducing supply teachers to tears, laughing at the music teacher being locked in the cupboard and watching the school slag being fingered by the council estate kids at he back of the class - during lessons. Unlike most from Hamble I have not been inside but I can only image this dump is the closest thing to prison as you can get with being sent down.

Hamble's alright, it's just that school during my time there was rough, probably just under-funded at the time. One school trip consisted of driving to Stonhenge, parking on the road next to it and looking at it through the fence because they couldn't afford the entrance fee.
