Ah, I think she started in '63. Her name was Margaret Gilbert.RedChaser said:

Great stuff! If you're interested, do check out Plumstead Stories online. They have lots of photos of the school from the 1930s onward. What year did you leave? I had a teacher there who had been teaching at the school since the '60s.RedChaser said:
It's the same one you went to mate wine was the school blazer Conway Castle the badge, apart from St Pats Griffin Road and Bannockburn Plumstead High Street there was Gallions Mount up by Winns Common where we used to play our home games. Wednesday afternoon football practice was by coach at Camdale Rd next to the cemetery, long since a paddock for horses.Addick in SW16 said:
@RedChaser , this thread has got me feeling all nostalgic about my school days. I ended up looking at Plumstead Stories online and saw lots of photos of Conway Road school. I'm wondering if that school was different to mine. Mine was on Gallosson Road, just of Conway Road and heading towards Plumstead High Street, but I have no recollection of another school in the immediate area other than Bannockburn and St. Patrick's. Where was your school?RedChaser said:@cabbles my son went to UKC but graduated the year you joined, you had a close shave
and @AddickinSW16 I was captain of Conway Road School Football team in 1961/2 , did they still play in green shirts with white sleeves in your day?
edit; forgot to mention Earl Rise school near Anne St the other side of Griffin Road towards Woolwich and Brewery Road.
Also, Steve Sutherland @Suthers , who many on here will know, I believe is a former Conway boy. I believe.0 -
Doesn't ring a bell just missed her but she would have known some of my old teachers; Mr Mockeridge his wife Miss Weeks, Tom Lovatt, Mr Reeves and head Mrs Skelton.Addick in SW16 said:

All the time. We were students and massive chancers.North Lower Neil said:Did you start to try to hide stuff under the rice to test him? I would have.
He would be shouting 'more rice, more rice. Have you got anything under your rice'. But he didn't have the confidence to challenge you when he could see you were hiding stuff. He just got more red faced1 -
Oh no, not another one. A little before my time. I was a bit of a football loner, let alone Charlton, though later discovered @Airman Brown was around. Got the class let off Latin homework once because I was the only one going to see us play WHU in midweek league cup tie. Thanks to teacher Mr Mason, who was a Hammer.Addick Addict said:

Wingfield Primary (Ferrier Estate), 85-91. Most of the kids supported either Liverpool or Millwall back then, felt like I was the only Charlton fan in the whole school!
And then, like a lot of the kids from the Ferrier, Thomas Tallis, 91-98. Met a few other Charlton fans there including the (now) famous Seb Lewis.0 -

I knew Richard Mason very well - ended up playing for his football team he managed in the Kent Suburban League. The school is still to this day rugby, rugby and more rugby.Weegie Addick said:

@Redrobo I managed to have a chat with him when I was in my late teens/early twenties when he was then working at Alexander Mcleod and was with the school choir out carol singing and he remembered me. He was quite a strict teacher and you didn't want to cross him, so I didn't. Took us for football had a shot on him, mind you when you're eleven all adults had a shot on them...........no Churchino references pleaseRedrobo said:

Roughly the same years as you I think, 1972 or 73 until Jan 77 when the old man moved us oop north. I hated that school with a vengeance and Percy was well pleased to see the back of me!

Would have been two years below me so wouldn't have known him. Only Webster I knew from those days was a nasty piece of work. Probably inside now.Addick Addict said:

Percy Black was a scary little bugger, he once said to me that he caned me so often all the fun had gone out of it. I remember Tutters by name but nothing more, I didn't have him for lessons. Mike Wesson was my form teacher in the first year and also my maths teacher, I seem to remember a female PE teacher always hanging around him who the kids nicknamed Titty Thoms!Lazy_eye_metaphor said:

Most of those were there when I turned up. Percy retired not long after I got there and I remember a group of 6th formers got a policewoman stripogram for him on his last day in front of the whole school. Think he quite enjoyed it. Mike Wesson was my form tutor then Jesse James who smoked a pipe constantly during lessons.stockportaddick said:

I had Percy for Physics. He was constantly telling us that if we passed our O Level we could get a cushy job with the Post Office. Probably true in those days.
