Bushey Meads School - Folklore

I am an ex student 2000 - 2007 and the new English block was not constructed until much later than 1981. However the English block referred to could well have been within another older block. The validity therefore of the claim stated in the folklore section of Bushey Meads School page may be incorrect. Happy to discuss any possibilities though.

I may be coming from the fabled land of the orange banana tree here, but does not "new English block" suggest that at some point in the past an "old English bloke" maybe have existed? Is this what passes for education at Bushey Meads these days? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.203.123 (talk) 10:27, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I attended BMS between 1993 and 2000. Working around the school clockwise from the front gates we had the double storey languages block, the cafeteria, the assembly hall, the Gym, the Sports Hall (with two horrifically grotty changing rooms attached). You then had the tennis courts alongside the technology/art block. You then had the mobiles M3&4 and M5&6 (used for English and Maths). M1&2 had long since collapsed by the time I started, leaving nothing but concrete stumps. You then had the music block surrounded by a large car park-come-playground, with the Science block surrounding it. The Sixth form rooms were at the front of the school along with the library and teacher's lounge, and heading back down towards the centre of the quad the science building merged into the maths block. Finally, the humanities block sat along on the north side of the quad.

Now from what I've heard since I left, a new English block was built over the old bike sheds and car park between the old science block and the music block. The last two mobile huts were pulled down, and a new science block was then built over the tennis courts. I think the old rooms were then used for things like P.E., media, and I.T. classrooms and such. The old science rooms are now used for Geography I think. MrJRT (talk) 20:44, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Elton John and George Michael

Both are prominent AIDS awareness campaigners. Why is his being deleted from their descriptions?82.17.199.25 (talk) 17:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Headteacher: Don Paterson

Despite the citation, I can guarantee that it is incorrect that Dena Coleman was headteacher from 1993-1997. I attended Bushey Meads between 1991 and 1998 and Don Paterson was headteacher for the whole of that period. I have a memory that Mr Paterson may have been stepping back in my final year and that Mr Kuhn(?) was perhaps acting headmaster in that final year. I think that Mrs Coleman perhaps began the year after I finished (ie. 1998-1999). Siwilkins (talk) 12:31, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
