I was at the school 1958 to 1963. This was after the labor government had banned grammar schools, but Greenway set up a grammar stream. I therefore started off in 1GR1. Only the grammar stream had to wear uniforms. As a result, the first 2 years were very tough because the local thugs were waiting for us after school and many a time I went home with mud all over my blazer, where I had been dragged on my back in the mud. My cap, which I hated, was stolen and on one occasion, a passing adult stopped them setting an angry dog on me. I used to have to catch the 6B bus near the shopping centre, so it was the walk of doom everyday. Hated Southmead and the scum living in it.

I started in 1GR1 but in 1962. The playground fracas were something to see! I walked the other way down Falcondale road and caught the 145.

I know nothing of the "Supposed" Rape allegations, but I can say I had the most unpleasant years of my life attending that school and the best thing the Authorities did was to close the place down. The Bullying, Thuggery and psychopathic staff was unbearable.
