Re: staff accommodation

Seniority and whether you were planning to take on boarding house duties would probably play a part. Housemasters occupy the main living accomodation attached to that house - flat or house depending upon the house. Tutors might get the flat at the back of the house. In addition there are a number of...

Re: Puke Fight!

I don't know the answer to this particular question but what would undoubtedly have been the case is that a significant number of members of staff would have been educated in the 1960s. I wonder whether the laissez faire , hands-off approach that seems to have been widespread in the 80s and 90s was...

Re: Puke Fight!

Which pupils of the 60s became masters in the 80s and 90s...? Were there many...? I don't know the answer to this particular question but what would undoubtedly have been the case is that a significant number of members of staff would have been educated in the 1960s.

Re: Puke Fight!

Definitely. From the time I started at CH, Pe. A had a pretty bad reputation, so much so that (years later) more than one guy on my year told me that when they found out it was going to be their senior house, they started crying. I was just glad I wasn't going to Th. A. There were boys in PeA who s...

Re: Puke Fight!

AMP- you were punched in the face repeatedly until the House Captain broke his wrist??? What??? Sounds like Nazi Germany or a Gulag rather than a school in Sussex in the 90s! Your face must have been a bl**dy mess by the time he broke his wrist. What did matron, other masters, less sadistic monitor...

Re: Puke Fight!

Why did life have to be so hard? The state of the kitchen didn't change, but the level of mindless vandalism was definitely lower when I got there, which I'm guessing would be around the time you left? Stuff went missing all the time but you'd usually get most of it back. In terms of clothing that ...

Nope. Jim Endacott got that job and (IMO) he did a lot to change the culture of the house for the better. Agree. The culture stunk. Definitely. From the time I started at CH, Pe.

Re: Puke Fight!

I remember a few fights between squits in the Peele B library/quiet room after lunch in the early to mid 90s. The fights were organised by the LE for entertainment, I don't think the 2nd formers were actually wanting to hit or fight anyone. The LE would make up stories of how someone had insulted s...
