Poll coming soon.


I caught up with some Secondary school friends today and we discussed the memories we had amongst many other.

What would you say your best/fave school year was and how was every year?

Year 7 - Pretty boring as it was the adjustment period.

Year 8 - Was quality, probably the third best year. Euro 2006 helped abit.

Year 9 - Meh. I was distracted and in love with what turned out to be a slag this year

Year 10 - Quality year. 2nd best. Some epic memories throughout the year. Man United winning the double gave me alot of bragging rights aswell.

Year 11 - Funnily enough, despite the fact there was the GCSE pressure, this could be argued as my top year. We pretty much took our GCSEs as abit of a joke while still getting some remarkable results somehow. The Study Leave and exam period at the end was the best time of my school time as weird as it seems . Coming in your own clothes aka swag on a maximum and watching the hotties wearing some short bottoms due to the weather . Coming in for your exam and then just after it Everyone leaving at the same time to go park to play some Football. It was a great time as a whole and we finished for Summer early(end up having about 2 months off)

None of them particularly stood out. Probably year 10, socially that was the best.

[CharlieO]

I would say year 10 or year 12 (now) when I go back to Singapore (which I know isn't actually at school but I hang with people from school).

[Brother Leon]

Samuel & Michael21 vote the same option.

Interesting

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

year 11

was suspended for like 30% of it and thats when i started becoming a reclusive mess and didnt really talk to anybody in class but at break/dinner hour myself and a select few would just run around the school causing havoc, stabbing people with pins and knocking litter bins over

it was epic

[King Gizzard]

Probably being 16, older, but not old enough to have responsibility...being the oldest at the school and thinking you were cool

Staying at the skate park till late at night with friends just talking rubbish

[Black Dagger]

I hated every single moment of school, so no year stood out really, I'd say year 10 though, 11 I failed my GCSE's so that was a massive downer, although I had an amazing prom.

[Locke.]

Year 11 definitely, great year. Get to break up a good couple of months early because of the exams, an most times when you had to go in for them it'd only be an hour or 2 a day. Probably socialized with more people that year aswell. Prom, too.

[King Gizzard]

our school system was different, 5 6 7 8 was in middle school and 9 10 11 was in high school

[Brother Leon]

Am I the only one who never went prom?

Went to the after party instead

Not sure what's being implied

[King Gizzard]

Went to the prom in a purple suit

Year 9 I enjoyed every year though in a way, you don't think you're going to miss school whilst you're there but since I've left I've missed it.

[Doogle]

Half-way through Year 10 currently so it may change but so far:

9 > 8 > 10 > 7

Year 7-awful, I was hated, I was nasty to the few friends I had and I was a total cringe. A few good moments though, like when I made some new friends (and through them I met loads of the friends I currently have).

Year 8-started a bit rocky, got better and by Spring 2010 it was amazing. World cup felt so amazing at an all boys school, even if I can't stand football. The atmosphere during the matches were amazing. Downside was getting in trouble for "bullying" with a group of kids cos we blocked the entrance to one of the classrooms.

Year 9-Hated it at first, thought it was all serious, and my friends were pretty ****. Picked up in 2011 though. Rickrolled teachers, got good results in all classes bar science, made friends with basically everyone in my class and didn't want it to end

Year 10-Haven't changed personality-wise since Year 9 but everyone around started becoming more arrogant and annoying. Had tons of arguments but had the most fun with just my friendship group as opposed to everyone. So many fights and with GCSEs coming up it's set to get worse probably. Not too bad though, I feel happy to be at school.

[Brother Leon]

To anyone still in School, make the most of it mayne


I would of done something like that aswell Nathan if I was able to go

[Lee.]

Don't know what year 7, year 8 etc means cos I is Scottish.

I hated school but I did enjoy 6th year as I was with a good crowd of folk and we used to go to the pub every Friday

Same as Lee, I dont know what the years in the poll mean but my favourite year at school was 1st year (at high school)

Actually, you're right... 1st year was a good laugh and quite relaxed.

It's not always like that. We had an infants school where it went reception > Year 1 > Year 2 and Junior/primary school started with Year 3.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Oh yeah they do infants school too in some places

and to add to the primary school list
Nursery - 3-4
Reception - 4-5

[Z]

Year 8 in England = 1st year in Scotland
Year 13 = 6th year

[Z]

My favourite years of school were 3rd year and 6th year; both because of the friends I had at that time.
