Only one school was built between Eton and the Reformation and that was in Bridlington. Which is why it was way in front of some cities I could mention

Now Bridlington has Headlands School, oddly their motto appears to in Chinese and not Latin:

'Foo Kum Yung.'


Bowen hat trick against Forest.

Got into bother over that game as we went to school on Saturday morning and I refused to play for the rugby team that afternoon. To make sure we got away in time for the train asked the French teacher along with another lad if we could leave early. Amazed, as he was no fan of myself, at his reaction when he said loudly of course you can’t leave early, what do you think this is? Then said softly that he would have liked to have gone so if we both asked to go to the toilet and didn’t come back what could he do about it?
After getting off train we were in the city centre looking at TVs in a shop window and a bloke asked us if we were going to the game. We said yes and he asked us who we thought would win. We said City of course and he said he hoped it was a good game and we enjoyed it. We were stood in the Well and when the teams came out my mate said look - there’s that bloke who was talking to us. It was Terry Hennessy. Remember Forest brought thousands and they had an enormous banner which was nearly the length of the East Stand. Great atmosphere.

Seems unlikely it was Terry H.

Could have been any bald combover ****?

Perhaps he wanted to sample some chip spice?

Headlands is where the ones who couldn’t pass their 11+ went. Now it is the better of two poor comprehensives.

Knew the person mainly responsible for getting them that motto. Pompous, full of himself that. Great footballer though.
 
Hull Grammar School was a secondary school in Hull, England, founded around 1330 and endowed in 1479 by the prelate John Alcock. In 1988, with the loss of its sixth form, it was renamed the William Gee School for Boys. In 2001 the latter merged with the girls-only Amy Johnson High School as Endeavour High School, before closing permanently in 2015.

Official School Motto: Floreat Nostra Schola

Unofficial School Motto (based on school houses): GEE, WILBERFORCE is a MARVELL - ALCOCK and no balls.

They've had enough 'nonce teachers' to make up a five a side team!

Yes, but one was particularly notorious. Though he never had relations with an under 16 and was supported by one parent who found messages on his daughters phone she had done the chasing. Deserved what he got, over 5 years, for betraying his position of trust.

My mate taught at Hull Grammar School from the 1970s all the way through to Endeavour. Sad to see the decline of what was one of the best performing schools in the North Of England at one time.
