hi mrc

hello everybody :)

Hey Peeps!!Our end of term play is Treasure Island!!Exited!:) J

Missing everyone at St Andrews!!!!!!
Fianlly we have had some SNOW!!!!!!!

I was at Chedworth School between 1961 and 1963 when I went to Westwoods. I was Liz Dodd and my father was farm manager for John Shedden at Greenhill Farm. I remember Jenny Knights I think - did you wear glasses? Can clearly remember the big black heating boilers that we used to stand around and melt chocolate fingers from the tuck shop on! Also remember picking rosehips in brown hessian bags - received 3d a pound and used to have the money in time for Cirencester Mop. Most of my in-laws still live in the area but we live in Bedfordshire.

Hello there,
your new school looks wonderful.
I was there from 1957 to 1963 when we lived at Whitegates and it was very different. As Sue Way said, we only had 3 classrooms and lunch was in the (black corrugated iron) village hall across the grass. This also doubled as Dr Coffee's surgery.

The railway bridge was somewhere to rush to and hang over when a steam train went under - heaven knows what our mothers thought of all the soots!

Highlight of our week was Friday afternoon, when the ice cream van called during break.

Finding this site has brought back so many happy memories (- and some sadder ones, such as Mr Easter dying of a heart attack.)

Maybe one day I will be back and visit you, but I am living in Edinburgh, Scotland. As I am an artist I have appreciated the lovely art work on here and still remember the big posters that were on our walls.
Good luck everyone.

HI EVERYONE
HAPPY NEW YEAR

hi
i hope u all had a happy new year and a merry xmas
i do miss u all
and hope to see u soon

How amazing is the internet? To find this link to my childhood is astonishing! What a lovely site this is.
I attended St Andrews from 1956 to 1960, when kindly Mrs Broad took the infants, before we were passed on to the lovely Miss Hudman and thence on to Mr Easter, the Headmaster. Then, there were only 3 classrooms, old 2-seater wooden desks with inkwells and outside toilets. We would run to hang over the bridge for a steam train passing underneath. I cannot imagine our mothers were best pleased but we thought it smelled great!
We also saved our pocket money for the Friday afternoon visit from the ice cream van - does it still come?
School dinners were taken in the village hall, which also doubled up as GP's surgery for Dr Coffee.
Just outside was where the travelling Dentist parked his mobile van - we all waited our turns with dread, because we could hear the whine of the drill far too well.
So many memories come flooding back...frozen bottles of milk sitting in a corner of the classroom, the big solid fuel stove, skipping and hopscotch and jacks at playtime.
Walking home to Whitegates along the railway embankment, picking violets and primroses in the spring, wild strawberries in the summer, Hazel nuts and rose hips in the autumn (for which we got paid, because the hips went to make rosehip syrup for babies).
Also remember the Church very well, and Sunday School.
It would be so nice to hear from anyone else who was there around then.
Thank you for bring back such great memories of a very happy time.

Hello! All you guys in Y6 HAVE to try out for Stroud High because it is the best school ever! Right now I am in the IT room. My friend Alice says hi, and Tabby and Freya, etc. And now to get to History because my form tutor is starting to get angry!!!!

hi. i was bored so i decided to go on to the school website,its looking realy cool and up dated (i come onto this website every now and again to see if its updated and i came on the right day cause it was updated yeterday) well.... bye!

hi evreyone ive just started y5 and am enjoying my self already!ive been to the british museum in london already!i love this school even if i dont always like the hard work!

Just found your website. I was at St Andrews from 1954-1960, with Miss Keys (Mrs Broad), Miss Hudman (later Mrs Andrews) and Mr Easter. I went on to Westwoods Grammar School at Northleach, which is now a housing estate. Now I'm a teacher in a Junior school, with only a few more years to go before I retire! Your photos show a very different school from the 3-roomed, coke-boiler heated one with outside toilets I attended!

Hi! This probably isn'y going to be shown for, like, a year. Anyway, I'm writing this in the summer holidays. I'm going to be in Y8!!! Which means Y9 maths. ****! Anyway, liked the concert. Bye.

I used to come to this primary school.....well....many years ago now. Was nice to see pictures. Would be nice if you could perhaps add a section of past pictures, teachers etc. Thanks. x

I have visited your website at the invitation of Mrs Belinda Bacon. Belinda used to work at our school and was a much valued member of staff. I think your website (and school) is just fantastic. How clever of Belinda to find such a great place to work!

We miss Belinda - but no doubt our loss is your gain! Thank you for letting me look at your web site.

Best Wishes,

Sue Durkin

It's good to see all you who only left us a few months ago looking at the web site. Hope you are all well and enjoying your new schools. We are all happy here and enjoying lots of different events. Take care and pop and see us some time.Mrs Buck

I left St Andrews in 1970 and can remember Mrs Broad, Mr Smith [his daughter Penny and sons Paul and Andrew] I remember Miss Hudman who also taught my Dad Ray Sykes who still lives in Chedworth with my mum. My three brothers Kevin Adrian and Steven all went to St Andrews too. Hard to believe how time goes!!

The web site gets better and better everytime I look at it...well done Mrs Whittaker.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all at Chedworth.
It is summer in Australia and is around 35-40 degrees here in St George, quite different to last year when we lived in England.
Love to all, Lucy and Sam xx

I can remember helping to burying a time capsule sometime in the early seventies.
Does anyone else have any memories of this?.

Wow , you have started another school year at St Andrews, while in Australia we are going into our spring holidays and almost finished for another year. Sam and I love to go onto the web site and check out the things you are doing, mummy loves reading the newsletters, we especially like the new picture on the web page, we think it is a Kookaburra, they are always in our garden digging for worms to eat. Hello to all our friends at Chedworth, we still miss you all. love Lucy and Sam

We have just broken up for our winter holidays today and it is snowing! Have a fun summer. From Ewen and Ivan Clayden

Hello everyone at Chedworth. We are now well and truly back living in St George in Australia. We really miss all our wonderful friends we made in England and while we went to your school. Especially, Eliza, Beth, Jess, and Emily, Max, David, Poppy, and Finlay. We miss our teachers, Mrs Wembridge, Miss Fan, Mrs Poulton, and Mr Claridge.
Thank you for wonderful memories, and we often ask when we can go back to Chedworth. Love to all , Lucy and Samuel.xxxxx

The school has certainly changed alot. I was a pupil between 1964 - 1969 and remember Mrs Broad (& the warm milk) Miss Hudman and Mr Smith. I now live in South Africa my maiden name was Alder. Great to see the history continue

Just to say we are missing St Andrews and all our friends there - a big hello to everyone from us in New Zealand. Hope our new school is as nice as Chedworth's

Who drew the kingfisher? It is very good! I hope I can come and visit all of you soon and good luck for the y6s in their sats results.

It's hard to imagine that I'm going to university at the end of the year!! It doesn't seem so long ago I was attending St. Andrews. I'll never forget the fantastic performance we did of Joseph and his Technicolor dream coat!!

I have been looking through the web site and would like to thank Jackie Whittaker for all her hard work in keeping it up to date and making it look so colourful and interesting.

We liked the art gallery and seeing our work on the net. Caz likes the bees!!! See you after easter!! xx

Here we are again on our computer course, in the school.
We are looking forward to the Numeracy Day next week.
We have been looking at your rectangles and looking forward to an explanation!

We are doing our computer course, using your school computers and we have had great fun looking at your web site....

i was taught at st andrews from 1977 until 1983, and remember it as being wonderful from start to finish. i now live in new york, but return to chedworth regularly, as my mother still lives in the village. i stare wistfully at my old classroom every time i drive past. good times......
