Blimey, things have changed there since my days, more Oxbridge entrants than Eton or Harrow?
Aside of the obvious 'profiling' the place is excelling and even got a mention on national wireless
Whomever is behind their performance should be whipped up to Whitehall sharpish and given a national role
Quite remarkable when you consider the inherent challenges it faces

Coggins, that was her, blimey, funny woman that one remember her receiving advice as to how she could be 'cured' by a then 13 year old lad, all rather descriptively
The Science teacher I referred to was biology, could it be Bolam or Wardle? Something like that
And maybe my language teacher was German, cracking tits, must have got the French bit from Mind Your Language

The dyke on the bike was indeed one Sarah Coggins, who taught RE, she left teaching and became a vicar in Canning Town.....
Williams the chemistry teacher was a welsh loon, and loved his egg chasing. He always got a bit upst when they lost to England at the Arms Park ...

Anyone remember the sauciest girls in the whole school, Beverly Dowell and Fiona Prior? Proper page 3 girls in the making but lovely, sweet things.
Hourglass figures, clever, sexy and funny. I used to take them to gigs and I'd walk down Oxford street to the 100 Club, one in one arm and the other on the other and felt like the luckiest boy in the world.

Do you remember Maggie Garbutt, The Fat dyke on a bike teacher, The American maths teacher Mr Hardy and then Mr Gill
Gill bless him took fearful grief
Oh and the young buxom French teacher, think she may have been French, outstanding tits, was the source of many a spurious inquiry to have her lean over your desk

Your not wrong about the girl from Brampton Jnr !!
There are a few tales that would make a parents hair curl if they knew what really went on....
I think I still have some very old polaroids from that era in my mums loft in East Ham......

Didn't know FJ's sister, so can't answer that one
There was a girl who came from Brampton Jr, bright and had an older sister. Her mum thought she was a cut above. Anyway, she, the daughter KC took a very early taste for the brothers and hooked up with a certain PT, one of the top boys among the older Jamaican fraternity that kept themselves to themselves Apparently caused a domestic stir and I had heard that she had moved out, and started knocking out kids of swarthy persuasion and random fatherhood

Ms Ralph - discretion is the better part of valour, and I suspect I know who you are ;)
I was taught by Groom but can't put a face to the name after all this time, was he the tall scruffy fucker who wore the same jacket for years, wispy barnet, balding bloke
Brewer - He was definitely, possibly one of others, knobbing a female PE teacher, if he wasn't they were particularly good friends I know because I walked in on the pair of them inadvertently one morning and they were sharing the same sleeping bags in one of the anti rooms at the Shack, out by the table tennis tables and pool rooms

Did anybody go to the White Horse pub on a Friday lunchtime ? We used to get a lift back with Dr Groom the science/maths teacher in his VW Beetle...
Peter Brewer was not knobbing Miss Ralph, but somebody else was...
There were some first class loons at that school, most of them teachers !

It was formerly the secondary modern, Langdon being the grammar Then after the comprehensive revision, it was operating upon a catchment area basis, Central Park, Brampton, New City and Roman Rd Initially, it was not that bad, relative to the borough, which I suspect was not saying much. Plenty of skulduggery occurred for sure Then deteriorated and was academised, it was under independent status that it has flourished. The irony of it all is that it is now very selective upon intake, pupils travel a fair trot to go there now So much for the comprehensive system

I went to Daneford Boys School in Bethnal Green for the first couple of years of secondary school which was a fucking tough school (that I still managed to get expelled from).
After that time something dreadful happened in my family and we had to move immediately to Upton Park and I suddenly went to Brampton Manor.
I honestly remember it feeling like moving to the countryside. I'd never seen so many trees and a lot of the girls seemed a bit posh and had grown up in that lovely bit around Central Park in 4 bedroom houses with double garages.
I fucking hated it but don't take it personally if you went - I hated every school I ever went to right from the first day of nursery school when Miss Jones made me stand on a table with my hands on my head for being naughty.
I distinctly remember standing on that table and thinking 'so this is school, is it? It sucks shit out of the devil's rancid arse'. It NEVER improved.

As always with high performing schools, t's money and will.
You have to wonder why the money became available and what inspired people to improve the education of these kids. I mean good luck to them, but when my mum was going to school in East Ham they didn't seem to care about them. Now it's a multicultural experiment and these kids are too important to fail.
I say again, good luck to these kids, but people should be asking questions why these kids are getting the attention and not the generation of kids that went there before. And why this school now and not a school in Basildon or wherever else the cockneys moved out to.
