What was your school like?

I didn't like school much espech secondary because it was a huge school and I was bullied a lot

Primary school was ok at first because I went to a really small school which was actually an old building

This was it

It's since been turned in to flats sadly :( 

My secondary school was monstrous lol XD I hated it from start to finish.

I enjoyed learning but I would have preferred doing it from home :) 

Sometimes I miss school but mostly its bad memories.

In the hall at my first school we did a Christmas show and sang silent night together my mum has it on video it's a strange video because I'm only small and don't really look like me now.

  • Your primary school reminds me a little of the junior school I attended in the early 1980s, which had been built in the Victorian era. It was a small school with each year group consisting of a maximum of about 20 pupils. In the school hall, I remember there was a cane hanging on one of the walls. Although corporal punishment in state schools wasn't outlawed until 1986/1987, I don't ever recall that cane being used on anyone, as the sight of it was sufficient to ensure most pupils behaved.

    After leaving junior school, I then moved to a different part of the UK, where things were a bit different. Instead of progressing to secondary school, I spent 12 months in the final year of a large local primary school. It was a shock to the system as there were two class groups per year. The curriculum was slightly different too, which also caused me some issues.

    I had then attended the local secondary school, but found the size of it and the number of pupils too overwhelming. After a few months, I transferred to a different secondary school that was smaller, and a slightly better fit for me.

    Although there are people from my school days that I miss, I can safely say that I certainly don't miss school and being forced to learn about subjects that I had little interest in.
