I didn't, I was taught by a complete difference person in Mr Purvis whose (alleged, unsubstantiated, etc) dodgyness took him to Headmaster then was brushed under the carpet resulting in a sacking. Schoolboy rumours obviously, is probably nonce sense (spelling?).

I left without any qualifications because I couldn't be arsed at that point but the work ethic and standard of excellence they demanded has never left me despite many of the students being rich kid wankers.

Depending when you left you may have been there similar times to a lot of my friends who went.

Can I turn this into - what school did you go to? So disappointed that no one posts from my school :(

What school did you go to?

It doesn't even exist anymore - you are going to laugh at the name of my school though it was Yew Tree High :(

IIRC Syd Little (of Little and Large) went there. It was my local school but I had the good fortune to go elsewhere.
