REPLY FROM RODMARTON: Hello Eden. All is well here. Hope you are enjoying secondary school.

Just checked out the pictures on the site, memories of my school days in the late 70's and the early 80's came flooding back. We used to love the snow and ice, we made skid runs along the length of the playground. Always got told off for it though. :-) then we used to go in and sit near the huge radiators to dry out and warm up. We used to long for the summer so we could play in the field and sit in the shade by the trees, the only place that had shade in the whole school. Those were the days! not a care in the world. Anyway enough with the memories, site looks great and school looks good.
Take care

REPLY FROM RODMARTON: Hello Laura. We're all missing you too. Hope you are enjoying your first days at Malmesbury School. See you soon.

I was looking at this lovely website and reading some of the 'old pupil' comments. Fantastic to hear how well some of you are doing including Peter Holmes and Jack Fulford. Lovely to hear from Jasper down under in Australia, ''hello Jasper hope the family is well'', and the 'Hinton' family in New Zealand( where my sister-in-law now lives! ) I now have two children, a boy and a 6mth old girl. I still hear about many of you from Mrs Anderson. I wish everyone at Rodmarton a lovely summer holiday.

Best wishes
Mrs Burr

Hi there, my name is Anna Hinton. I was at this school but then I moved to New Zealand. And i just wanted to say hello and hi to all of my friends !!!

Hi everone in the UK, I am all the way down under in NZ. Who just beat England in rugby?
Talk to you again see you later.

Hello everyone at Rodmarton School. Well done on raising so much money at your Fete this year. As a past member of the Friends of Rodmarton school let me add how important and rewarding it is to get involved. I would urge any parents to have a go. Tom and Anna were watching a DVD of the 2001 Rodmarton School Sports Day only this week and it brought back lots of memories. They are enjoying their new schools here in New Zealand but they haven't forgotten their old friends. I know it is nearly the end of term so I hope you all have a good holiday.
REPLY FROM RODMARTON: Lovely to hear from you Mrs Hinton. It's nice to know that you still visit our website and thank you for your words of encouragement to prospective new 'friends'!

HELLOOOO RODMARTON SCHOOL!
KINGSHILL IS GREAT, GOT LOTS OF FRIENDS! OH AND THANKS MR MEGGS FOR TEACHING ME THE BASICS OF ROCK GUITAR IN Y6, I'M SOON TO BE IN A BAND (WELL NEXT WEEK!)
GARY!
REPLY FROM RODMARTON SCHOOL: Hi Gary, pleased to hear you are enjoying Kingshill and are still continuing with your guitar. Well done!

Also curious to see what the school looks like now - still recognisable after 24 years! I hope all pupils will have a fond memory of their time there. The website is lovely. When I left the school had just started using a Sinclair Spectrum. Congratulations and good luck with all the projects. Keep up the good work.

I was just looking on rodmarton primary school webby to see some pictures! I just wanna shout out to Byron and Jamie - they are my nephews! PEACE OUT!!!

Hi guys, Jack and I were just googling Rodmarton School to relive old memories.

After leaving Rodmarton in 1996 we both went to Marling School before going our separate ways at uni.

Peter went to Loughborough Uni and studied Sports Science and English and is now working as Media Officer for British Triathlon.

Jack went to the University of Birmingham and studied History and Politics. He is now a training to be a publisher at a company in Minchinhampton (with aspirations for world domination).

We have just set up a Facebook group for alumni: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=21560927016

My dad, Richard Ball, was chairman for this school and I'm sure he says hi. I'm at boarding school at St Peter's in Adelaide, look it up sometime! I hope some of my teachers read this and maybe some of my old school friends. Anyway I've got to study for exams. If any1 reads this can they ask some of the teachers to see if they remember me bye

Hello, I'm Laura and I go to Herringham Primary School. I visited your website for ideas for my own school website. You have some really, good ideas thank you.

Hello Rodmarton...hope everything is going well. I am enjoying Sir William Romneys so far. But it's a big difference to this school.
REPLY FROM RODMARTON SCHOOL: Hello Will, good to hear from you. You'll have a few of your old friends joining you at Sir William Romneys in September.

Hi everyone at Rodmarton school, I really liked the time I had there but I am still getting all the news becouse my little cousin Freddie goes to school there still. This website brings back memories. I hope everyone is OK at the school.
REPLY FROM RODMARTON: Hello Tara, good to hear from you and Zach. We are currently having building work done to give the school new offices, so come back and look at the site in September, and you will see a new look school!

I think your website is very good and it's very creative with nice colours and fantastic pics!!!! I am a pupil at Pontnewydd Primar School!!! Yr 6!

Hello Gracie, Good to hear from you. Hopefully some ex-classmates will be in touch.

I'm so sorry I haven't left a comment before, Ive been dealing with a lot of essays. I hope every thing is as good as is it was or even improved since I moved. Oh yeah funny story this, well not that funny, but Mr Meggs's wife is an English teacher at Deer Park! I got a 6A in drama and music and I.T. and a 5A in English. My favourite lessons are English drama and I.T. If you guys ever need any help just give me a buzz or email me at podgiewarner@hotmail.com.

REPLY FROM RODMARTON:
Hi George, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying life at Deer Park. Maybe you could come to our fete on Saturday 17th June?

Hi Rodmarton!!! Cool site!! Hope you are well! Stroud High is alright, it's been so long since I got in touch! HOW much do I miss your work! We have our year 9 SATS coming up and it's so hard! We have so much revision and work, so if I were you, I'd make the most of not having lots to do while you still can! It's great fun though. (not the work-'cause that would be weird) I have to go to DT now - making clocks, yippee-do. I miss you all very much - and I hope to see some of you at the high school next september!! lots of love and hugs xxx Abby xxx
REPLY FROM RODMARTON:
Thanks for your comments Abby, it's good to hear from you.

What a fantastic site! Well done on winning your award. I know how much time is spent creating and updating. Our school site is still in its infancy, but I may just have to poach some of your ideas! I really like the link to photos of your surroundings, and the huge amount of pictures. Fantastic! Well done.
REPLY FROM RODMARTON:
Many thanks for your praise. I hope to get out in the Spring and take some photos of the village with the trees in leaf, to add to our Rodmarton and environs page!

As a former pupil of Rodmarton I was very interested at looking at what's been happening since I left in 1999, clearly a lot!! Great site!
REPLY FROM RODMARTON: Many thanks for your kind comments.

Hello Rodmarton, hope you are all well, it is almost 2 years since I left school. I am really enjoying secondary school - lots of sport and cross-country. In an all schools race I came 15th and at school I came 1st and 2nd. bye James Curthoys
REPLY FROM RODMARTON: Congratulations James, pleased to hear you are doing so well. Thanks for visiting our site

This site has realy improved over the years it's brilliant!
REPLY FROM RODMARTON: Many thanks for the compliment Ayesha. I hope you're enjoying your new secondary school.

This is a great web site and reflects the excellence of the school generally. One small suggestion: why not list the term dates for the following school year? That was the reason I came to the site in the first place as I was trying to make some holiday plans and needed to know when my kids would or would not be at school.
REPLY FROM RODMARTON: Your wish is our command! I had been meaning to do this. I've now added a button on the left and included the current academic year's term dates as well as next year's.

Thank you I enjoyed looking around your site.
