Ark School - a day near the end - 13 June 2013
These pictures were all taken on one day, 13 June 2013. Ark (formed from St Andrews and St Patricks in 2010) had just five more weeks to run. The school had inherited and adapted two near 'mirror image' buildings. 'Blue Side', the former St A held Y1 and KS2, while 'Green Side' was home for Y2 and Foundation Stage. Ark had two halls and (for two years) two kitchens. Your web-master will try to add some comment to these photographs over the next few weeks.

Rare photos from Rheindahlen Music Centre (RMC)
With thanks to Ray Ross for these - this set is from RMC's Easter Concert 2006 and the venue is Windsor School main hall. Your web-master will add more photos of the music service at work shortly.
New old photos!

These two photos - thanks to Lynn Marshall. Your web-master sent the Krefeld photo to Lynn Eckersley (DH Krefeld in late 90s), Lynn replies: I recognise a couple of people on the photo ... Peter Bentley was the HT, the teacher with the long dark hair is Paula Kremer and in the top right there is Paddy Powell who is Martin Powell’s wife. I went to Krefeld in 1992 so at a guess it would be about 1989 .... Lynn then contacted Jan Othen (Steer), who taught at Krefeld before she did. Jan was able to add another couple of names to the Krefeld photo. The woman to the right of the HT Peter Bentley, is Lorraine Redpath who was DHT. To the left of Paddy Powell is Paul Burford. To the right of Paula Kramer (with long dark hair) is Frau Plum who was head of infants ...... I have no clues (yet) re the William Wordworth photo, except that middle rear might be Paul Nuttall. |

Thank you, Sharon Mappelbeck, for this photograph of Dhekelia Primary School staff, 1995. Sharon is far right front, and can be found also in the Deputy Head Conference photo from 2000, above.
Your webmaster also recognises Tonine Butterworth (front left), Doug Munro (HT, front centre), Rose McGinty (second from front right), Pete Davies (sadly no longer with us) is just left of centre in back row. Pete went on to become deputy at Ayios Nikolaos, and also features in 2000's DH group photo. Is it Paul Nuttall next to Pete with a tie (see WIlliam Wordsworth staff photo above)?

Sian Jones kindly sent in this 1985 class photograph from Bielefeld after MoD Schools closing events on 22nd June. Sian was Holliman at the time, and is the girl behind the info board.
Were these the Headteachers who closed Berlin down?
These six Headteachers have been identified by John Hancock, Headteacher of Gatow First School. John writes that:
All those in the photo, except for myself, had closed their schools and left Berlin by July 1994. I was the last remaining Headteacher in Berlin (1977-1994) and closed down Gatow School Berlin at the end of November 1994. I was also the last civilian in the whole of the British Garrison to leave Berlin - 10 December 1994!! I am the 5th person from the left (glasses and a beard). Those in the photo, working from the left are: Derek Ebbage - HT The Havel School, Sue Adams - former HT, Charlottenburg School, John Sharpe - HT, Spandau School, Stuart Greenwood - BFES Adviser and former HT, Spandau School, John Hancock - HT, Gatow School, David Greenwood - HT, Charlottenburg; I hope the above is helpful in the identification of those in the photo. All good wishes John
