Can anyone help with my last clue in this one?
25A: Maybe churchwarden's religious lesson in school?

(I think "lesson in school" probably means PE, so it could be Pope, Pope, or even Pepe, but I can't parse the whole thing from any of those.)

A "churchwarden" is a type of PIPE?

pipe - churchwarden is a tobacco pipe, i think.

Where's the school, though?

religious - pi
lesson in school - P.E.

Of course, trevor - subconsciously I was conflating PE with RE (interesting concept!)

i treated them both as free periods (i didn't go to them).

I remember, one year at least, rather enjoying RE. Our teacher made it more "philosophy", and enjoyed arguments.

PE, on the other hand, I never liked (unless it was basketball or "Pirates"). Games, though, I did enjoy - rugby and cricket especially.

i was scrum half - hated it.
pirates?

It was a "British bulldog" type game, though involving wall bars, beams and ropes.
