Mr Malcolm green the sports teacher is one of the finest gentlemen you could have as a tutor he taught sports at park high school Hindley for my year from Tuesday the 11'th of August 1981 along with Mr Neil Bateman "sadly passed away last couple of years" and Mr Edward demiddler along with many more fantastic teachers until I left in 1986 and I believe he was still teaching up to the sad closing of park high school Hindley in 1989/90 as well as a few other high schools in the Wigan borough at the time such as cardinal Newman Hindley, Wigan grammar/mesnes high school now the Thomas Linacre building, Whitley high school, and aspull high school all long since demolished due to seats not being filled and government underfunding a very serious and sad loss to our local communities and families.
I also understand Mr Malcolm green was teaching at park high school Hindley a couple of years before I started when it was originally known as Hindley and Abram grammar school down park road Hindley the original building is listed status unfortunately the later additional buildings were demolished to build homes for sale/profit in the last ten years.
If Mr Malcolm green or former park high school teachers see this post hope you're all well and staying safe and happy God bless you all.????????????
