| Comments: | I have just been browsing the web site. I noticed the name Colin Atherton I think we must have been in the same form to-gether,as he mentions Roy Hudd. Other names I remember were Les Broughton, Charlie Husthwaite, Slog Goddard ( who I believe suffered a fractured skull after a cycling accident) Be glad to hear from anybody who rembers me. Great site. Alan Brinklow |

| Comments: | Brilliant site just discovered today - well done to those who started and maintain it. Wonderful to read about John Bowden and Geoff Anscoombe and to have such positive memories of the place. I left in the 4th year as my parents moved us to Hastings. I was disappointed not to be able to follow the tradition of splitting the back of the school blazer and burning the tie (what remained of it once we had 'picked out half the coloured cotton on the stripes'). I hope many of you did. |

| Comments: | Great site. Will add some comments when I can get my mind around it. Does anyone remember Roy Cayley or Norman Surtees, brother, I believe of John Surtees. Also Roy Hudd, the comedian. I note that someone is asking about him. |

| Comments: | Good site. I have been aware of it for quite a while. Someone else's comment about The Beggars Opera reminded me: I played the piano for 2nd act, but in act 1 acted on stage, even dancing in spite of having to do it without glasses (short-sighted). I left from 6th form in 1966. Went on to qualify as an architect but spend most of remaining years as a Baptist Minister. Now partly retired in Yorkshire. |

| Comments: | Fascinating to see pictures of school, they bring back happy (honest!) memories. Only there for 3 years as family moved to Tunbridge Wells when I was 14. Sadly only remember 2 names from 1W and 2W (1964 and 1965) Glyn Hall and Steve Wright - where are they now? |

| Comments: | Found this website few days ago, member of Lutyens house, from 1960 thru to July 65. I noticed the school had been demolished several years ago whilst visiting relatives. Remember watching the aircraft at Croydon aerodrome (at last I am a pilot as well), and that dreaded run around Purley Way in all weathers. Picked up good technical background, schools should be the same now, but no "O"'s got them later elsewhere! I know one contributor so far will remember me? |

I remember all the staff were really dedicated, nice people, likewise all the friends I made at the school. I have dug out some old photographs which I will Email shortly. Thanks to everybody for your hard work constructing the site and when's the next re-union? |

| Comments: | Checking around the www I was suprised at finding this site about the old school. I still have an old booklet with a full listing of pupils and teachers which I will pass on as it pre-dates any you have on this site. I moved to Canada in 1968 and was suprised, like several other former students that the building was no longer there when I returned several years later to "pay them a visit". I started at CSTC in the old building in Norwood and was transfered to the 'new' school when it opened. |

| Comments: | I found this site early in 2006 and I very much enjoy the photographs. I remember Kevin McCarthy, Roger Sperring and building rockets with Igor Andronov. Do you remember the hospital roof incident, Igor? I have fond memories of the school and I have had the words of the school song in my head for years! I've done a lot of travelling for my company and I'm grateful to the teachers for my education. The "CSTS" site is good for nostalgia......well done. |

| Comments: | Fascinated to find this site and to read old boys memories of teachers etc.I was a bit of a tear away in those days and didn't appreciate what was on offer, I remember holding the school record for being the youngest boy ever to be caned for smoking (1st year)and it wasn't my last by any means. Spent the best years of my life there, friends like Chris Conway, Malolm bishop, Pete Brooks and many more, would love to get back in touch. I've very fond memoris of some teachers, Richards (english)gave me confidence where all others failed. Count Drac for lending me money to buy fags, brickwork teacher (can't remember name) for catching me smoking and not reporting me. Spencer (art) for encouraging me and finally Chas Chapman, although caning me frequently never gave up on me and always treated me fairly. |

| Comments: | I tried to email you from another part of the site but it appears to have failed.I was refered to your site whilst looking up a classmate (Roy Hudd). We attended the school at the S.Norwood site,but none of us ended up in the building trade.I became a photographer, but I have no idea what career path Roy Hudd chose. |

| Comments: | I am getting old so I suppose that I can remember what I choose but I am not sure that the happiest days of my life were while I was at CSTS. Perhaps this was my fault rather than theirs. I recall many of of the teachers listed, Spencer, Sherrington and of course the head 'Charlie' Chapman. Greetings to Martin Ecott who I do remember, not sure without further thought about the others who have posted. Will look you up again. |

| Comments: | I confess I hadn't thought too much about the old school until last week when I was down Pampisford Road and was amazed to find the building no longer there. When did that happen? Like Roger Cohen I was in form 1H in 1958. I can't remember who was form master in that 1st year, it was Norman Beale in the 2nd and 3rd and Mr Gent in the 4th and 5th. I only ever saw two of the boys after I left in 1963 and then only once but I remember everbody in the form very clearly. |

| Comments: | After 13+ exam, joined CSTS in 1956 at the old school in South Norwood and soon moved with the school to the brand new premises in Pampisford Road. Sad to see it's been knocked down. No sixth form at that time so left (with two others) in 1959 to go to John Ruskins Grammer - also demolished! |

| Comments: | Delighted to see a web site for our old school. I wish I had known about our reunion because I would have been there and probably picked up old basher on the way. The school song is different to my day. We had a school hymn which went something like Our Father By Whose Servants Our House was built of old. Can't remember it I am not religious. I wonder if anybody can fill in the names in my school photograph. |
