Hardest ****ing Years/Schools in Southampton...


Recommended Posts

A school isn't 'hard' until it's had to be renamed....twice.

 

Upbury Manor, although in Kent still qualifies as the hardest school in Southampton. It's a bit like asking for the toughest soldier in the boy scouts.

Alderman Quilley in Eastleigh early 70's - more of a Borstal overflow than a place of education.

 

Having been at Barton Peveril at that time (ah, those green blazers! the badge that looked like a cabbage!) I can only agree. :D

Eric was just biding his time, waiting for a chance to sneak across the playing field for a proper educashun.

I had to - AQ only offered CSE's so I had to go to BP to sit GCE's and then A levels and had a brilliant time doing it as well.

 

Of course being a 6th Former I didn't have to dress up like a Green Fly in a cabbage patch LOL

I'm gonna start with Noadswood, Year 11 2000-2001.

 

**** off, Hardley Yr.11 2001-2002.

 

I was working in both of those from the mid eighties on. Christ, I'm old....

 

Didnt notice them as being particularly rough tho, the only school I worked at that I didnt really like going to was toynbee in eastleigh. Then again, I never liked going to eastleigh.

Being ex-Quilley myself I can only add that it wasn't any better in the mid-late 70's either.

 

As for the other 2 'schools' I've quoted, my brother was expelled from Barton Peveril in the early 70's for slapping a couple of teachers. Upon expulsion he was sent to Toynbee (this was when it was still in Toynbee Road). I think they didn't want to send him to Quilley in case he walked across the field for another pop or two.

As a member of the penultimate grammar school intake, I remember feeling most hacked off when the last lot didn't have to wear that uniform in their final year (my first in the 6th form). I'd been looking forward to going in wearing jeans etc while they still had to wear blazers!

 

You might find yourself in a college photo here http://www.bartonians.uni4m.co.uk/ if there was one taken of your year. I'm in the 1978 one, and a gruesome sight it is too! :lol:

:lol: not me mate, I dont mean full time, just some specialised maintenance work. Would have only amounted to half a day every four months or so, contract stuff.

I was at BP a few years earlier. Remember epic snowball fights with the Quilleyites on the playing fields.

I think a lot of undesirables over a long period of time attended Merry Oak. F*cking pikeys. They'd **** all over you carrot crunchers.

 

Quite a lot of rivalry back in the day between them, Woolston and Weston Park. I kept out of it all and concentrated on my knitting.

As do I. Were you one of the lads like me who spent their afternoon breaks in the corner of the playing fields near the newsie drinking special brew and smoking tabs? :lol:
