Hello oddjob61, thanks for your comment. I was there between 1969-72. I would like to get in contact with you if that would be okay. You can reach me at: rayspencer20@yahoo.com. Thanks.
Hello Hallebose, no I didn't have a good experience at Knowl View School, I doubt whether many of the children there did for that matter, but thanks for the comment.
I was there till 1982, a lot of bad things happened there to me. However on the good side there where some amazing teachers. Mr Michael Cooper being one and Mr Lickfold (Science) would love to get in touch with some old school mates like Paul Thompson, Peter Harding, and a few others. My number 07561053840
Hello Stephen, thanks for your comment. I left Knowl View School in 1972. There was a teacher called Derrick Cooper, but he was not a pleasant person at all as time would eventually tell. However, Mrs Cooper, his wife, was a very nice lady and she taught me to swim at Castleton Baths. Mr Turner, headmaster, I didn't much like, Mr Lowe, Deputy Head, was very nice. Thanks.
Are we on about Michael Cooper p.e and English teacher his class was at side of the gym across from dining area. His wife was really thin and quiet .... Used to have us running in freezing weather from knowl hill on Monday mornings ....
Hi Stephen, no Derrick Cooper was Science teacher in that classroom where the library was. Tall bloke with blond hair. His wife, I think was Jean Cooper, they lived in one of those houses beside the driveway up to the school. He was in trouble years later with the police and the court. Yes, I can remember cross country runs into Carr Woods. Mr Mellor at that time, later Mr Thomas who I went with to Classical music concerts.
My favourite teachers were Mr bexan and Miss Macintosh lol....if it's the same Mr Cooper I'm shocked .... I never like Mr walker, Mr turner used to play piano and Mr hopwood took over as headmaster.There were good days and bad... Lots to talk about lol Ur in Nelson I'm in Accrington. Maybe meet up for a chat about those times ...
Wow yes he had blind hair he was into camping and use to play music in the classroom in background ... Well built ...we always got in well..... I remember Jean omg. . I'm shocked now I think Michael was his middle name ..... Could be really brutal sometimes a real temper. He was into climbing as well .
Yes, Stephen it sounds like him. He could always turn nasty when pushed. He was in court at a later date for attacking children during his time at Knowl View. I think he went to live on the Isle of Man, but he was on BBC north west news.
I believe there was a fire at the school in 1993 ?
ReplyDeleteKnowl View School opened 1969 and closed down at the end of 1995.
