I will always remember going on the walks with mr Taylor his wife and daughter heather always came along too, he was my headteacher and my so and daughters head teacher, we all all incredibly sad, he had a brilliant sense of humour always knew every pupils name good or bad!! It is a sad day for Shiney Row ex pupils my thoughts are with you all at this sad time

An Amazing Headteacher - the best
Gone but never forgotten. 25 years on from leaving we still talk about you. Its really strange that on Monday night this week we were just talking about the disagreement you once had with my mam in a governors meeting over introducing packed lunches to school back in the old days! Hope they play Roger Whittakers 'I'm gonna leave Old Durham Town' at some point in your memory, the way you always used to play it in our assemblies. Happy memories of trips to Patterdale and assemblies at Shiney Row Primary School. Thanks for everything Mr Taylor. RIP. x
