Hello, Painsley,

I'm delighted to find your website. It's so cheerful and inviting. I'm planning to give your `Problem of the Month' to my grand-daughter, who's twelve years old and very bright with Maths.

Very much look forward to visiting you again soon.

Best wishes, and God bless. Lin.

Dear Friends, You have a wonderful website. I found it by by going to the address for Christingle.

I'm interested in learning more about Christingle. I say on your website there is a liturgy connected with it. Does it include Christmas Carols? We're looking for a simple program to have in place of a traditional Christmas Pageant at our church.

Is it possible you could send it to me by e-mail?

Thank you so much. Have a blessed Advent!

I was at Painsley from 1983-1988 and still remember two teachers - Mrs Clarke (Biology) and Mr Helm (PE) who had a lot of (positive) influence over me. Mr Irving put the fear of God in us (which I'm sure was his aim - I probably would have understood history lessons much more if he hadn't scared me so much) and Mrs Patterson (anyone remember her?) was evil and I hated every single lesson I had with her! Anyone know of A Jagger or E Flynn?

Ex-Painsley pupil approx. 1975-79/80. What about a mass school re-union then!

A big step forward for Painsley in IT. Something that was unheard of when I was a pupil there. Keep up the good work, making me proud to be an ex-Painsley pupil. If you have time, could you tell me if there any teachers left at Painsley from that time.

Many Thanks.

Hello,

I want to thank you for the wonderfull days my son Frank had during the second time he was visting your school. Last time was in october 1998. He was a member of the UNION hockey-team staff.

There is a another thing I want to ask you. I am the manager of a primairy school overhere. It would be very nice if there is a posibility for my oldest pupils to e-mail with English childeren of a primairy school. Perhaps it is posible that you can arrange something with an other school in your village or area which is interested in such a contact.

The full address of my school is: R.K. Basisschool De Leeuwerik Postbus 56 5450 AB Mill The Netherlands tel.: 031 485 470 151 fax: 031 485 455 608 E-mail: [email protected]

I am a proud past pupil of Painsley High school way back in 1987-1992. I loved that place very dearly and since my education their I have go on to do great things. I am now at the famous University of Florida in the United States and I will be graduating shortly. I would like to thank all the people who have helped my education since my youth, in particular Mr.s Matthews the secretary, Mr Irving the history teacher, and Mrs Welburn the home economics teacher. They all did a wonderful job.

Seems like the old guestbook was junked so I'll repeat myself until people lose the will to live (as usual ;-)

Nice site, good to see that the old school is ploughing on and keeping up with the times. I might not have appreciated it at the time but Painsley was good for me. I hope it can remain that way for others.

Have fun, me old china

Does Joe Malkin still teach at Painsley and if so I would love to hear from him - who knows, perhaps we could organise a school reunion for the class of '78?

Kind regards

This is Andrew Brassington AKA Brasso. The comment dated 27/9/99 isn't mine. I'm not an eco-warrior and definitely don't snog trees.

In retrospect, my five years at Painsley (1995-2000) were great. I couldn't have gone to a better school. All the teachers were good in making people do their work, which is why the school gets such good results.

Thanks to Mr. Challinor and Mr. Irving in particular.

Also thanks to Miss Dunkley. I got a B at GCSE in the end. I guess the last minute bible reading helped.

EX PUPIL 76 - 81.

I,m pleased to see that Painsley is going from strength to strength. My only regret was that there was no computers at the school until after i left.

Is Mr Irving still there.? or Mr Malkin. he used to put his head in his hands at my maths skills!

All the best for the future.

well,well,well what do we have here? not a bad effort at creating a web site. I do like the guest book very nice to be allowed to voice an opinion.(makes a change). As you all know I was the best behaved pupil ever to go to Painsley but now I'm leaving and theres no one to take my place... not even my sister she has become a rebel and has a detention on 24th May 2000 (her birthday)Thanks Ms Hanrahan it made my day to read the letter sent to tell my parents that Lucy has a detention.. keep it up ... all the best T-Bag(the king)

I was just browsing the net and came across this site with Sophie Warrilow's name mentioned. We currently live continents away although this media brings all of us closer. It's such a small world now.

Anyway, I happen to see St. Giles mentioned and I've encountered this particular name searching for additional information about my grandfather. Apparently born in Reading and baptised in Wargrave.

A great website.

Brilliant concept and well done! Is there any way that I can advertise my Male Voice Choir that is based in Cheadle called the Churnet Valley MVC? I have build a site currently on my free web space with Freeserve as follows. [email protected]/choirwebpages and am currently looking for a new home for it!

Ex-pupil 75-79. First time I`ve looked for about 12 months and the transformation is amazing. I sometimes find the net slow and clumsy but not in this case. Absolutely fascinating, well done, proud to be an ex-pupil (even though PC`s were not invented in my day!!). Shame the ex-pupil directory is not more widely used.

I have visited your site today looking for information about the exam results at your school. My daughter is 8 years old and we live in forsbrook and I am considering your school as opposed to Newcastle under lyme school as I am informed that your results are equally as good.If you have any more information that you feel may be of use to me would you please forward to 24 Hillside Ave Forsbrook Stoke on Trent ST11 9BH
