Your favourite Teacher - and why

Who was your favourite teacher at school?

Mine has to be Mrs. Eales who was a History teacher at North Wing around 1984 - 1985. She made the subject very interesting and was a great teacher to learn from. I've still got a great interest in history thanks to Mrs. Eales. :wink:

Wasn't too keen on Mr Tucker though when he took over from Mrs. Eales. He was what you might call "dry" in his style of teaching. A lot of pupils thought the world of him because he was rather eccentric with all his heavy metal paraphenalia but I didn't take to him. I'm certainly not saying he was a bad teacher.

That was a bit severe, Martin! 8)  Nowadays if a pupil drops a pen they wouldn't even get a second look.

Why is it that all mention of school is centered on the John Bentley School, surely I am not the only one to have attended Fynamore Secondary Modern.

There was some great teachers their, some are still living in and around Calne.

Lets hear it for the Secondary Modern!

Calne Secondry Modern School

Hullo All

I am replying to Peter Dolmans Post.
I think Fynamore School was Calne Secondry Modern School.
Well I was there from, I think, late 1956 to 1959.
The headmaster was Mr Springate.
The music teacher was Mrs Gleed.
My form teacher was Mr Henry.

Ring any bells ?

Cheers
