  • I’m still teaching at this school to this day. I remember that tragic day :(I lost my wife Mrs Nezbit and my fab pen). I hope everyone that died that day has recovered and is living a healthy life. I write this in tears with my fab pen in my left hand.

    kind regards, Mr and Mrs Nezbit

  • I was Head Girl at the school 1984/5 and my name is misspelt in the photo!
    I recall some great teachers: Mr Jervis (English), Mr Bastable (Maths), Mr Roberts & Mrs Kendal (Chemistry), Mrs Tye & Mr Porter(?)(Physics). Mr Clarke was a great Head Teacher with a very capable Mrs Fisher as Deputy.
    My 2 younger sisters also attended: Vicki & Penny

  • I was also at Onslow the time of the fire. I was a few years younger than you. I was in my Second year at that time. I remember the terrible mess and that awful smell of the damaged building.

  • I was at Onslow at the time of the fire and lost my O level woodwork project in the fire. Had to start again but still passed.
