I was very fortunate to be taught by Mr John Stockley (Sir), as my form teacher in class 1 C in my first year at Weston Park Boys (1960-64). Mr Stockley had a very unique style of teaching,which enabled him to engage with the whole class. He was vary fair, and a real gentleman, who will be sadly missed by many, Rest In Peace Sir!

I would like to offer my heart felt condolences to his family at this difficult time.

I had Mr Stockley as my tutor for 4 years so I saw him every morning, he was always such a friendly man, which was sometimes a rare thing in a 70s all boys comprehensive school . I have very fond memories of his smile and his random talks about Bitterne history. He was a true gentleman, I only wish I knew him better and as an adult. RIP Sir
