Glad to be of inspiration Stuart.

This is a good idea and I am glad you have put the schools in alphabetical order.

What I would like to see eventually would be a definitive guide to Sheffield schools past and present, - just like we already have the pubs and working mens clubs list, the cinemas and theatres list and the war memorials list for Sheffield we should have something similar for schools.

I don't think such a list would ever be complete just by members posting about the schools they personally went to as the coverage would be incomplete, particularly of older, long gone establishments but it would need researvhing in much the same way as the previously mentioned lists have been, but at least we have made a start towards this goal here.

Not quite what I had in mind Stuart, but what an interesting list.

I didn't realise we had a member from our rival school Hurlfield (having apologised somewhere on the site for never taking any pictures of it before it went)

So far then, with 5 named members our old school seems to have the most SH members listed, - so there's a sporting challenge to the other schools, - can you beat Norfolk at most members on this site? There are some very good, very popular and very big (student number wise) schools in Sheffield so this one is open to anyone and of course its the school that wins, so for once its a team game! get all your old school mates to sign up to Sheffield History and put a post in the "which school did you go to?" thread to start them posting!

Just had another look at that list, - you can add me again

Ashleigh School, DaveH 1974

Remember that quite a few members, due to moving house or going to sixth form (or being expelled) will have been to more than one school.

Now this will tell the age of many of us. RichardB is much younger than I thought.

I also went to Chaucer, was Mr Newman there when you were there?

Ukelele lady isn't going to tell you that Stuart, she's already worked out that doing so is very age revealing :o

New Quiz

When did Ukelele Lady leave school?

Don't lets go down that personal route with quizes again,

I abandoned the last one which was "what is the accumulative age of RichardB, Stuart0742 and Waterside Echo after their recent birthdays this week?" because I wanted to respect Waterside Echo's privacy about his age. Perhaps we should do the same for Ukelele Lady.

By the way, happy birthday, - same age as me now, free pints won in a quiz on me next time your up here to celebrate!

I left Chaucer at Easter aged 15. It was just a few weeks after the school had been officially opened by the lord mayor. Mr Newham the deputy head was my teacher then. My year of birth was 80 years after the Great Sheffield Flood.

Although given as a series of clues Waterside Echo has now revealed his age!

It would appear that the answer to my previous quiz which I declared null and void would have been that the sum of the ages os Stuart0742, RichardB and Waterside Echo would have been -

Acres hill just of manor I dont think this is there any more. I went to this school either before I went to parkhill junior or whilst there for some reason. This would have been late 60,s.

Not sure if I have spelt acres correctly

The reason for Stuart0742's request for other schools in Sheffield is that we are trying to put together a schools list but this is proving more difficult than we first thought as many schools have closed, new ones taken their place and older ones which have remained open have changed their names, in some cases several times. For example,

Hurlfield Boys School,

Hurlfield Comprehensive,

Myrtle Springs

Springs Academy.

How many different names has your school gone under in its history?

I'd like to add the Boy's Charity School. This school was built in 1706, rebuilt to house more students in 1826, and existed (I think) until about 1911 when it either became the Bluecoat School, or it was superceded by it. I'd love to find out more about the school, as my great great grand uncle is there in the 1901 census.
