What's your favourite school memory?

My favourite years was 79 to 85. I was at a great school, with loads of friends and no judging or teasing. Sadly thanks to a new headmaster (not), the remaining part of my schooling went rapidly down hill.

Does anyone else remember not being able to use the toilet during lessons in nursery, because “once you get to big boy/girl school you can’t go during lessons, so you need to practise now”. Indeed in my first school I wasn’t allowed to go because “once you get to middle school you’re not allowed, so you need to practise now”. In middle school “at high school you can’t go during lessons, so you need to practise now”. In high school the teachers were laid back and let you go during lessons if you needed to go

Hated nearly every moment in school, had a good laugh nearly every day though I must admit. I guess school isn’t made for some people! How time flies since I left.

We weren't allowed to go to the toilet during lesson times even in secondary school @66Mustang, it was pretty silly.

Was it just my school where because you weren't allowed to eat sweets in lessons you'd buy a packet of tunes throat sweets to rebel?

Oh @Cress, I feel like you have read my mind. Yes, I remember those days. I was not allowed to eat sweets in lessons so I would have energy cubes instead

Some of the kids in my class would try to deny eating pickled onion Monster Munch or juicy fruits gum...

Which years were you at middle school?  We only had primary & high!

That sounds great @OverlyAnxious thanks for making me chuckle! Even though I probably should not be advocating for that

Lower school was year 1-4

Middle school was 5-8
Upper school was 9-11

I think my county is the only one that has 3 tiers but not sure

We had first, middle and high schools when I went through school, but it’s now just primary and secondary.
