Southport High School for girls

I appreciate this is an old thread, but I've been trying for years to track down my Spanish teacher, Marie/Maria Leech/Leach. I attended between 1977-1982.

I've done the friends reunited search, facebook etc and can find no trace of her. I believe she may have gone to live in Spain??

Does anyone else remember her or know of her whereabouts?

Miss Leach was my form teacher at Greenbank!!

Headteacher was a Mrs Ellis? Deputy head cant remember her name, but she was quite small, seem to remember she use to wear her hair in a bun?
My form teacher was Miss Leach

I remember Mrs Berrill when she was Miss Riding. Yes, Miss Evans, the Thatcher-lookalike. I had Miss Isherwood, as my maths was very poor. and she did CSE with some girls. Spiny Norman - Mrs Bowran - for English. She despised me and couldn't believe I passed at A level. Well,, Spiny, you were a dreary teacher and I have a first class honours degree in English no thanks to you! Sorry, regressed a bit there.
I tormented the PE teacher, Miss Spencer, who insisted I put my name in my pe shorts. I told her I had changed my name to Dorothy Perkins and my name was right there on the label. Ah, school days.

That was a blast from the past. Miss Ryding was new in my second year I think (c1973) and we teased her merciless. I think she was about 22 straight out of teacher training. We spent every chemistry lesson getting up to something like the whole class agreeing to shout 'bingo' every time she said H2SO4 or putting acid on our fingers and then making holes in our tights. One girl got her finger stuck in the tubular end of a chair in her lesson and had to have it cut off. The chair not the finger! We kept this up for 3 year until O Levels and then those of us who did A Level were a lot nicer to her (I hope!). She was a lovely person and great teacher. I liked her a lot and always feel bad that we teased her so much!

!971 - 1978. Mrs Edwards made me sit at the front for passing notes. Miss Ormerod died only last year, or maybe the year before. I see Mrs Careless regularly, lovely teacher. I remember Miss Sherrington well, she was like the Angela Lansbury of Maths. Mrs Bedson also removed me from some activity or other in chemistry. I really enjoyed my years there, on the whole. Not the same experience since it went comprehensive. It changed over the year after I left. There's a special place in my heart for bottle green knickers. I remember the French teacher (Miss Jones) telling us she would be getting married during the holidays on the other side of the Pennines. "Ooh, France!" said one of the girls.....

I was amazed that Miss Ormerod only died c2014. I had her for scripture in my first year at the High School (c1972) and I thought she was about 70 then! She used to tell us that we should eat honey to stay young young like her which cracked us all up as we thought she was a very old lady!

I hated her lessons with a vengeance - especially having to read about 150 verses of the Bible and write an essay on them!

She once told me off on Hillside Bridge for walking my bike on the pavement (I was trying to keep something from cookery class intact in my basket). Another time she caught me wearing a bobble cap on the way to school and not my beret - a heinous crime in her book.
