the progress of the school.
My

You may be interested that I too became a teacher and
have been Headteacher at Roby Park Primary School in
Knowsley near Liverpool for seven years now!!
I remember fondly my years at KN and if your archives

I was at KNGS
from 1964/5 till 1970 and looking at the site has
bought back many memories, particularly the staff
members.
The names of old pupils from that time have also
started to ring bells in the old memory box. Amazing
how just one name reminds you of an incident that you
had forgotten about.
A previous entry from David Harris was so vivid. I had
completley forgotten about the 'tuck shop' and the
half a loaf and crisps. I remember that you had to
queue up outside the prefects room if you wanted to go
to the shop.
Does any one remember the drinks vending machine that
was installed in the corridor? It would have been
about 1967/68. I was in form 5T, (I think) and we were
'chosen' to look after it.
It quite ironic that I now repair them for a living!!!
Some good and happy times at KN but really in
hindsight I wasted the time that I was there.

Had the good fortune
to visit Paul Heath in 1979. I came over to Boston
Mass. with his brother (my best pal Steve Heath) and
fell in love with the USA. I have lived here since
1982 (is it really 20 years?) and have enjoyed every
minute. It really is the land of opportunity. I have a
San Diego born wife and 2 daughters 4 & 6 as well
as a son by my first marriage ( 24 years of age and
living with my Dad in Hollywood on the outskirts of
B'ham). I think back to all of the friends that I had
in school and as I approach 50, wonder where and how
they are. I loved school. I should have concentrated
more on studies, but I have no regrets. My profession
takes me all over the USA (they are short of
streetcleaners all over) and I thoroughly enjoy what I
do. I now have more chins than a chinese telephone
book....Seriously though, if you have a minute, drop
me a line with your phone # and I will try and give
you a call.
My thanks to all concerned, for all of the work in
putting together this site.

Hi
chaps.My illustrious career started as i left KN in
1970.I can remember many happy moments despite my
somewhat lacklustre perfomance whilst at the school.It
must have given me something though as i eventually
got the acheivement hormone working.I can still in my
sleep automatically write a thousand times
that"obedience is a virtue that i must endeavour
to cultivate!".I recall most of the year and a
few characters from other years. At the ONA dinner it
was a pleasure to meet Ian Caney,Rob
Ball,Jack(James)McLaren,Chin Jones and Tim Cuthbertson.
I would be interested to hear from anyone,John
Godfrey,Ian Meynell,Read Marler,Bates,etc etc.The list
is endless.Sunny regards john.

Hello, I
attended KNGS from 1963 to 1970, this is the first
contact I've ever made with my old school even though
the memories are always with me. I was one of those
working class boys who's dad worked at the Austin and
who always felt a little daunted and seduced by the
the public school feel the school had. My only real
claim to any fame was appearing in The Crucible, a
joint venture with the girls school and failing my A
Levels at the Stone on Northfield. It would be good to
hear from anyone who remembers me....good wishes to

Having
discovered the schools website this morning through
the FriendsReunited website I just couldn't resist
adding my memories from my time at the school -
1963-1971.
I had fun at a time when our world was changing;
peace, sex, drugs and rock 'n roll (not that I did all
four!) and I have been having flashbacks all morning:
- "Bonzo avez une green Gilbert" - someone
got detention for that.
- Tweed Harris' graffitti under the shelves of
Brunacker House - thanks mate!
- Phil Bates' chopper bike - I always wanted one
- The Basketball Team - they were good and they knew
it
- Throwing the hammer through the fence to the
Bourneville playing fields - my first and last attempt
- The smell of chocolate before it rained
- The chess and bridge players in the 6th form common
room - annoying !@#$@%!
- The Applied Maths teacher "trying to find the
inclination" (forget his name)
- The Girls School - hmmmmm!
- Working at Woolworths with Jasbo and Sainsbury's at
night
- 280GOP, My pale blue (and brown bits) 1963 Ford
Cortina
I thought I had wasted my time there - I put so little
effort in but something managed to get through and I
still apply some of those lessons everyday. I have
done OK. Thanks to all of you who taught me and
all of you who were friends - get in touch.

Peter Williams (Jock), Richie Meyer (Charlie), Ian

memories of some of the masters - Harry Wightman who
would dish out detentions for not finishing school
dinners but was brilliant nonetheless; Claude Levit -
the brilliant English master who really turned me on
to poetry; Stephen Jack - not to be messed around
with, but always fair; Howard Stockley - nuff said!!

Hi
all
I really don't know why I've not found this site
before.
I was here 1969 to 1974 ish after messing up my O
levels and having to go into remove. Yes, the Ziggy in
the e.mail address does come from the David Bowie
album. I remember going to Birmingham Town Hall to see
him in 1972 with Carl Reading and Paul Butler.
My first form was 1b and the master was Taffy Hughes.
Other names spring to mind Bill Bailey, Creeping
Jesus, Cecil Hartley etc etc.
They were great times and my dad still reminds me of
how much better I could have done for myself if only I
had worked while I was there.
I remember going in during the holidays to get my O
level results and failing seven out of nine. Howard
Stockley took me to one side and said "Sweet,
bloody stop jumping in and out of bed with all those
girls and you might pass them next time" Howard I
was an innocent 15 year old then.
Anyway
if anybody remembers me give me a shout I would love
to reminisce.

Hi everyone.
Attended KNGS (grammar school days) from 1968-1974.
I remember visiting the school in the summer of '68 to give it the once over before starting. The buildings and school rooms looked daunting. Single desks!! Wot! No cheating. All thoughts of those fears soon evaporated when I came across the playing fields.I began in IA with Mr 'Batman' Boothroyd as my form teacher. I can only remember some of the class register, so here goes:
Adams,Barber,Bayliss,Broadbent,Brown,Crane,Donovan,Dudley,Elmer,Fox,
Fryer,Griffin,Ham,Hammond,
Knight, Mckiernan ????Quinn.......???? Anyone fill in the gaps?
Some of the teachers I can recall include:
'Mongy', Jack, 'Charlie' Chester, 'Cecil' Hartley, Sam Orrill, George Agar, 'Mini' Cauldwell, Claude Levitt, Bernard Hedges aka 'Steve Zodiac', Howard Stockley, 'Pinhead' Guest, 'Bill' Bailey, Maurice Burrows, Dawn Ferraro, Mr Chin, Malcolm Burgess. I'm sure there's more and when I remember them I'll add them onto the list.
Geoff Sheen was the Headmaster when I first arrived and then Karl 'UCCA Forms' Hearne took over within a couple of years, I think? A rather officious looking deputy also arrived who I think was named Mr Wright. He must have had a nickname, but it escapes me.
My initial thoughts were that I'd joined a funny farm with all these teachers wearing black gowns to lessons, There was their mortar boards missing. However, I soon settled into the place. Well it only took me 3 months to realise I didn't need to take my gym kit to each lesson. My mind was obviously straying onto the playing field. Art & Geography were particularly difficult as you could look out onto to the fields from the classrooms. I had many a chalkboard or a Bill Bailey pump thrown in my direction.
I seem to remember being in Middlemore House (red?) but then they reduced the number of houses down from 5 to 4. I think I moved to Mortimer (black) Anyone recall the other houses and have I got mine the right way round? (Jervoise was one!!)
I managed to get into the school football teams. The under 14's won 4 cups one year including a share of the Villa Cup after a 3-3 draw with St.Thomas Aquinas at Villa Park. We even got a new all blue strip (being a Blues fan,the irony was not lost on me) to wear for the final, with numbers on the shorts as well?. I was on the bench for that game partly due to injury but mainly due to Gordon Ham being a better player.
I still see Marcus 'Ozzie' Osborne who over the years became my best mate, and still is. I'd like to know how some of the following guys got on:
Makon Singh Rama, Pete Vincent who used to live in the next block to me in Edgbaston/Lee Bank area, Paul Moss, Charlie Sinclair, Robert Shann, Steve Fisher,who gave me Led Zep I & II for which I'm eternally grateful, Jon? Matthews, Martin Withers, Les? Daxter, ???Sturmy.
I've got loads more memories which will have to wait for another time.
I did enjoy my time at KNGS and finding this site has begun to bring it all back. Thanks.
If anyone remembers me and wants to get in touch please do so. I'd love to hear from you.

Just
having a trip down memory lane.... I was there around
71 to 75ish. Seems a long time ago. Seeing the names
of teachers mentioned in other postings brings it all
flooding back. Bread and crisps from the tuck shop,
fags behind the bike sheds or on the roof of the gym,
coach trips, sports days, the cane, detention. Life
was much simpler then, wasn't it? If I forget anyone
please accept my apologies, but to the best of my
memory the register consisted of Ali, Bailey, Bailey,
Beech, Coe, Davies, Edwards, Hill, Hughes, Hunt,
Jones, Jones, Lamb, Millership, Morrison, Pai, Parkes,
Pitt, Stansbie, Stelling, Valentie and Williams.
Thanks
also to the staff for having much more success with my
eldest, who's recently flown the nest and is now at
uni. Best wishes to you all

was at the school from 71 to 75 and like many others
its great to see familiar names still teaching namely
messers Hattersley,Burgess,Chapman. I just read a
guestbook entry from Howard Stockley, what a character
he was !!. Not found many names from my era either on

This
was the first time I'd delved into the Kings Norton
Boys School website and it was really interesting,
especially the article by John Newman who was only one
year old than myself. I remember many of the
schoolmasters he mentioned and agreed heartily with
his comments about the Dickensian atmosphere of the
school when we first entered it. I remember this did
seem to abate somewhat after we had been at the school
for a couple of years, it may have been familiarity
but I think that the changing times and the new influx
of staff in the early seventies helped that disappear.
I work at a local Computer Facilities Management
Company (ITnet Ltd), along with several other old
boys, Keith Freeman, Neil Hawkings, Ian Baker, Mark
Gossage (we all left within a few years of each other
during the mid seventies) and have worked in the same
company ever since.

Very
recently returned to live in the Midlands having lived
in various parts of Britain over the last 20 odd
years. The return to old stamping grounds prompted a
bout of nostalgia which has culminated in me
downloading an application to join the Old Norts and
also find this website.
We all seem to share an uncanny ability to remember
the school register which is certainly not congruent
with my current day to day powers of recall.
Lads if you are out there would love to hear from
Lammo ( best centre forward I've ever played
with/against) Jonny Coe, Whiffy, Tim Parkes, Satters,
The Mallett et al - I'm even willing to stand the
first couple of rounds!!! Life has been a rich
tapestry since those carefree days of wrecking
Brunnaker, The Boyfriend, setting fire to Christmas
trees on the balcany during end of term assembly.
My last school report stated.." I hope his air of
cynicism is merely a mask to hide his true
self".........It wasn't.
Love to catch up with anyone who knows me and
remember.....WHERE THERE IS ALE THERE IS US ( Paul
Satterthwaite circa 1976) in my book this ranks with
"je pense donc je suis"

Good to see
so many people had a good time at this great school.
I attended between 1972 and 78. Being the
smallest person in the year my life wasn't exactly
happy. So I thought I'd let you all know that
after I left the school I went on to play American
Football for Lincoln, the Northern All Starts and then
England in an International. I ran the London
and Manchester marathons and Great North Run and am
presently in training for my first triathlon. I
would like to meet up with quite a few of my old class
mates so I could kick your buts!
I gained a degree in Chemistry and a Masters in
Polymer Science and technology and have been a company
Director for the past 10 years. I have three
children and am as I am also a fully qualified FA
coach, I am manager of my local football team.
I'd like to thank all the teachers at Kings Norton
Grammar School for Boys for the excellent education
they gave me. I'd also like to thank all my
scumbag classmates for making me so determined to do
better than any of them could ever possibly dream of.

What a
wonderful surprise to find this site which I
discovered via Friends Reunited. I was a pupil from
71-78 and have some marvellous memories of teachers,
fellow pupils and friends. Despite failing to live up
to expectations at A-level I did a degree in history
and politics and now find myself news editor at The
Bristol Evening Post. What I find amazing reading all
the entries is that everyone seems to have the same
memories of KNGS as myself. We can all recite the
names of the people in our form and nearly all the
entries heap praise on some great teachers - so good
to see some of them are still in situ such as Malcolm
Burgess and Paul Chapman. It is funny how whenever I
return to Birmingham I still find myself driving down
Northfield Road, slowing down to look at the old place
and telling the kids that\'s where I went to school.
There is a still a great deal of pride I think
everyone has for the old school. Anyone out there
remember me drop me an e-mail

I felt compelled to
add my details to this site following my meeting with
Howard Stockley recently at his house after 8 years.
Howard asked me why I had left it so long and what had
prompted me to visit him. The answer was that I had
been watching goodbye Mr Chips and nothing embodied
the character more than Howard.
I am one of "Howard's Failures" for whom he
wishes the clock to be turned back. I am also one of
Howard's greatest fans. This man has inspired
generations and he continues to inspire me even today.
Many of you will remember me as the class disrupter
and the boy that learnt to fly from the mathematics
classroom into the corridor (with the aid of Paul
Chapman that is ).
I left rather unceremoniously in the sixth form in
1979 and moved to Bournville school where I learnt to
like the sport of rugby (although I couldn't play it
!).
KNGS gave me the ability to analyse every situation in
life and a great store of memories (some painful, some
good).
Some of you have done very well indeed and some of you
not so well. The only thing I am sure of is that
"Success is a measure of all the obstacles that
you have overcome in life". In that case, I am
successful !
Keep up the good work Kings Norton!

Great
to find your website.
I attended the School from 1972 until 1979. I'm now a
teacher! Strange world!
My brother attended from 1976.
Any contemporaries out there? Anyone remember Stephen
Jack (Latin teacher)?
How do I contact the Old Nortonians? So many
questions!
