Millfield, left in the glorious summer of 76
Yes, you're right, '73 to '80 then
I just missed the Saturday morning regime. I joined in '71, left in '78.Arnold for me too. Bloody CCF and Saturday mornings.
Didn't it become Blackpool Collegiate Grammar in '72? I have a memory of having the option (well, my parents did), of Arnold or Blackpool Grammar having passed the 11+ in 1971 but being told that the latter would be joining with Collegiate the following year.Blackpool Grammar from 72
70-77 so no saturday mornings for me, unless in detention. No CCF either, as I was good at escapingArnold for me too. Bloody CCF and Saturday mornings.
Accountancy wasn't it, John?Yes, you're right, '73 to '80 then
St Aidans, left 1992.
Blackpool Grammar School.Following on from the junior school thread.
Highfield High. Left in 1999. Some bizarre goings on during my time there. Music teacher killed himself after accusations of him having inappropriate relations with a female pupil. Headmaster had a sex change shortly after I left. Fair play to her
Missed PP I'm afraid. Saturday morning school stopped in 1967 the year after I left. I always assumed it was in place to stopI just missed the Saturday morning regime. I joined in '71, left in '78.
Would you have been there when Peter Purves was busy being expelled?
Blackpool Grammar didn’t exist in my dayBlackpool Grammar.
It's obvious from the poor standard of posting that there are very few ex Blackpool Grammar School boys and girls on here.

Highfield '75 - '80
Arnold too...must have been in the same era...Saturday morning school finished in 66 I think but they just added more hours on the week...and as for effing CCF...hated the place...no happy memories whatsoever...except in the juniors when Sir Jimmy took the occasional class and actually did some one offs coaching of our football team...Seniors ...it was Rugby Union..and I loved Blackpool Borough in those early days but saw the light and became BFC.Arnold for me too. Bloody CCF and Saturday mornings.
Because we hadn't merged with CollegiateBlackpool Collegiate all the old farts call it Grammar.
Would you care to mention the surname.I left in 78, my brother in 80
St. Cuthberts’, then St. Mary’s (got it in before secondary school thread was started)
Hated having religion rammed home, utter bollux.
Me too and of course was a member of Layton House. Used to go to get the bus by walking down Layton Road and past Layton Rec but didn't realise the significance of this from a BFC historical view.St Josephs.....66-72.
I ended up qualifying as an accountant yes......Accountancy wasn't it, John?
