Spyway School

[Patrick Leung]

Can anyone tell me what had happened to Spyway School located at Gillsman's Hill, St. Leonards-on-sea? I left this school for almost 20 years. I remember the headmaster was Mr Norman Windfield. I heard some said he committed suicide in 90's. Some teachers are still in my memory such as Mr Van Gelder, John William, Mr and Mrs Monk. The part time girl who used to prepare the meal in the school canteen was called Faye. I think she is in her mid 30's now. She used to go the school called the Grove School near Spyway. If anyone know any of the above mentioned people, please tell them to leave theirs contacts. Thank you.

The only school located in this area I can think of is Westerly school (Not sure if the spelling is accurate), which was located in the Gillsman's Hill area and it's now been sold for development.

Hi Patrick,
Thank you very much for the informations. It's really sad to hear that indeed! Do you know the name of the teacher who was convicted to the offence? Was it called Henry?

Hey, Patrick

Was surfing the net and found your question.
Not sure if you remember me, I was a boarder at school and then became a day pupil, I ended up marrying Michael Mani, and 19 years on, we are still together.
I still see Peter P and John WIlliams from time to time, and Mr Monks and Hazel are happy and living in Eastbourne.
We still have the pleasure of having Sam Cole (you must remebber him!) for dinner every so often.
Feel free to contact me if you want, Michael would be happy to hear from you,
Regards
Raquel

Henry must be out of jail now, and Norman did kill himself in The New Forest, so we will never know if he was guilty or not. The building has been knocked down and they are building luxury apartments on that spot,
