such memories, reading through the messages...hey ho!! thought I would add a few comments. I was at the Roan 1956 to 59 (then moved to Sussex) I remember well Anthony Pipers list of teachers... I also remember Rusty Lock and Crusty Pie, Hankinson, Benny Fenton, Hodson, Dawson and Weston etc but Gelly Elliot sticks in my mind, I was in the school orchestra (played the fiddle)… it got me out of many lessons!! But I have had a great life, running two businesses and inventing some things that are in use world wide (allowed me to retire very early)
Keep the comments coming

Hi. I was at Roan Girls from 1971 to 1978. I've recently reconnected with a few girls from my old Class (we started in 1P with Mrs Poore) but I would love to reconnect with any other girls who may be out there. Please contact me using the email above if you want to reconnect or just re-live a few old school memories ... x

Eric John Downs
My father, Squadron Leader Eric John Downs, MBE, attended The John Roan Grammar School from 1932 to 1939. He is now 98 years old and in fine health. For a Christmas present today my sister, Anita Rich, presented him with a 140-page book entitled "A Lewisham Lad" that details Eric's distinguished career in the RAF after leaving Roan School.

Hi there! Anthony Piper here. I was in Mr Hoare's class 3H in 1961.
If you look at the class photo on the website I am 2nd row from the back standing next to Robert Scourfield and just below Alcock.

I remember the name Sanders. A boy who used to get cross when it was mispronounced as Saunders.

Some of the masters were
Mr Chalky White (history)
Mr Shag Whitten (English)
Mr Gel Elliott (music/French)
Mr Snoz Westmoreland (PE/geography).

Other boys were
Quirk
Townsend
Mills
Suckling
Lambert-Gorwyn
Peacock
Daniels.

Best wishes - Tony Piper.

Scourfield and \I used to eat our packed lunches in the gallery for a long time - then go walking over to the observatory.

David Goodes, I remember you well, we shared the same years. I joined the Army in 76, and ended up in the Int Corps as a language specialist. (Who’d have thought). Still working in export sales and engineering, can’t imagine retiring.
