Joined when it was the Norwich Technical Grammar School housed on Ipswich Road (now City College Norwich). I liked it there much better than the Hall Road site. I remember well the notorious Jack Adams! I recall three or four of the larger sportier lads jumping him as he entered the class for English one time. He disappeared under the flurry of bodies into which others also dived. Jack came up though, red-faced and as wild as a boar with migraine and sorted out the main protagonists, who went off for a caning from the Headmaster (Hesketh?). Other stories of Jack which I cannot publish here - for fear of incriminating myself and others, and also Jack himself. I also remember Floyd, the German teacher with the very loud pin-striped suit. And Gretten the sadistic Metalwork teacher. Forgotten a lot of them now. Who was the physics master who used to stand and sway from side to side the whole lesson, with a cushion clutched against his back. Think we called him Ben - could have been Burgess. Most of the teachers were rotten and I mostly hated it there. There was one, Mr Derbyshire, the Woodwork master. Decent chap. Everyone liked and respected him. Anyone out there from pre-1962? Anyone remember Terence Stygall? Great character. Ah . . . memories . . . Chandos Insanity is hereditary - we get it from our children.    Report

I also thought that most teachers at the Hewett were to say the least egotistical mini dictators. detention from prefects and teachers alike for wrong coloured socks . somebody threw clutch fluid over a maths teachers vintage lagonda, his bike was also destroyed in the cycle sheds by persons never found but suspected.More later.  peter gosling lookijng for anyone from the Hewett school and Norwich City catering college  school years 1962 to 67, college from 1967 to 1969    Report

I can only remember Fenwick as the History teacher and I think Saunders did the girls' games. Was Price German? And there was Gretton for Metalwork and Derbyshire for Woodwork. Gretton would tweak the hair on your sideburns I seem to recall - a novel form of discipline I always thought. Chandos Insanity is hereditary - we get it from our children.    Report
