Pompey on 16:52 - Jun 27 with 3749 views | _clive_baker_ | Highly likely he would've been given he was in Colchester's academy previously and been so highly thought of at Sudbury. Fantastic opportunity for him. |  | |  |

I'm sure we would have done, academy has links with KHS. Went up there for a presser one morning and bumped into my old form teacher! |  | |  |

She didn't recognise me! However, that probably wasn't a surprise as I was in her form nearly 40 years previously. |  | |  |

Who was your form tutor? I might be asking as I could be heading to KHS for placement next year (and I also went there) |  |

That was Mrs Thatcher (not that one), although she was Miss Chase when I was there. |  | |  |

I hate to miss the chase. I know who you meant and if I remember right she was pretty well avoided where possible... or was that Mr Thatcher... hmmm - I do remember Mr Thatcher commonly threw blackboard erasers and chalk at students who weren't paying attention. I remember that There was a home ec teacher who I mix up with Mrs Thatcher who always used to give you 10/10 - even if serving slop on a plate. Then one day she broke rank and gave a 7/10. As far as I know she never issued another 10/10 from that point on - you hate to see it happen to folk. |  |

Mr Thatcher was a PE teacher along with Mr Rolls, who worked at the academy and was who reintroduced me to Miss Chase. I don't remember who the home economics teacher might have been. I remember Mrs Williams, Mrs Tyzack and Miss Coe.

Miss Coe was my form tutor, always used to show up to class with a can of diet coke. I couldn't imagine Mr Thatcher being a PE teacher (late 90s) - He was not your typicial athlete at this time. Small world though. |  |

He wasn't PE but managed the school football teams, think he fancied himself as the man who found Richard Hall |  |
