Mad as a hatter
he once threw two boys up against a wall for coming into school late.

Though I can't blame Toner for everything, I was only there for a year

He was nails back in the day.
I remember having a row with him when he took us on a cross country run.

Apparently I wasn't making the effort, but I'd just had a tab and I had stitch.

you missed the most fearsome teacher
by a few years. She used to teach at St Bedes

Makes no difference. I'd have been a right cocky cunt who knew better and loved an audience.
I'd have loved that.....

(Just how mental was she?)

She was tiny
but no-one messed with her- even the total cunts who'd disrupt anything. She just didn't mess about. No warnings or second chances. The best example I've ever seen was the mini-riot we had, she just jumped in and came out dragging two six foot lads, threw them into the classroom, told them to sit and then dived back in

What happened there?

Complete chav
wanted to attack one of the RE teachers (a timid mouselike person) and stayed after school. I happened to be handing in coursework so saw the whole altercation. She did the whole sashaying walk, and hand on hip as she proclaimed 'tell Mrs **** that Sasha 'the woman' is here now,' (she was about 15.) Absolutely violent little thug.

Other woman just stared coldly at her, faced her down. Was worried it would turn to blows, but 'Sasha' backed down, and took her threats (and as it turned out her knife) away with her

Christ almighty.
We had a few kids from the travelling community there when I was at school, but there were never any blades.

If you had a row with someone, you sorted it out 'on the cobbles' - which is much better. You don't fall out with the nutters on account of you losing the 'fight'. Neither did the nutters go out of their way to annoy the 'normal/clever kids' as hitting someone would leave a mark.

With blades, anyone with the 'rage' is liable to use one.

I can't believe anyone would take a knife to school.

I assume the blade was on her
it wasn't produced, but she certainly carried it with her.

The school was a bit of a madhouse towards the end.

Just as well it closed.
The kids from the travelling community when I was there, were just 'fighting people'.

But they were all 'good Catholic lads'.... When it suited them.

It wasn't a bad place
It gave me points on my UCAS form (I did my GCSES in a year there)

I'll reply to this post, as a reply to the original post. This has scrolled too far to the right.
