Hi everyone, I started at Denham in 2004 I now live in Australia and am in year 6, I am doing an assignment on my life and thats how I came across the site. Miss the school !

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you Mia. It's great to know you're looking at the site. I expect it has changed a little since you were here. Keep in touch!

I just stumbled upon this site and memories rushed back! I went to the infants school when it was a wooden hut in Old Mill Lane, near to Priory Close (where I was born in 1941) and I think the Teacher was Miss Alban who I believe married and became miss Grey. I seem to remember her coming to school on a bicycle. From there I went to the "Big School" in Cheapside Lane and the Head Master was Mr Thompson, who was replaced by Mr Entwhistle. I remember Mr. Rudman, Miss Carr, Mr Taylor. I also recall that there was what I believe was an orphanage nearbye called "The Lea" and there were quite a few kids in my class from there but can only remember one name which was a girl called Sonia Hall. there was also a boy with artificial legs who took them off to swim at Uxbridge open air pool, Some boys in my class were Alan Sharp, Norman Swallow, Peter Bunce, Gerald Dumbalton, David Polyket, are any of you still around? I live in Ruislip now and have never moved far from Denham, apart from two years in the merchant navy, and a year in Seattle, Washington State.

REPLAY: Thank you for visiting our site and sharing your memories with us. We hope you get to reunite with some of your old classmates.

Hi I went to this school in 1969, Mrs Wingate I think was head teacher and I do remember Mrs Monahan, I still have my school reports as well, live in Hampshire now! I remember the ice cream in a roll and the milk we use to get every day, I was always wanting to drink every one else's!!!!

REPLY: Many thanks for your message and sharing your memories with us!

i was born in 1973 in plymouth, where i live today. but due to my parents marriage break up i did live with my granny and granddad with my mum and sister in nearby house just off the cricket pitch in denham village. so about 1976 1977 i went to the infant school. i was in the same year as roger moores son i believe and have a newpaper clipping of our class. i remember dressing up as victorians for school

REPLY: Great to hear from you Abbie-Jo! See you at the next Summer Fayre!

What a nice surprise to find this website. I was a pupil at the school way back in 1964-66 and can still remember the teachers there, Mrs Monaghan and Mrs Wilson. The effect of Primary school must have had a big impact on me as I am now a parent governor at High Wycombe C of E Combined and am enjoying every minute of it. If there is anyone out there that I went to school with and remembers me please get in touch.
REPLY: Thank you for taking the time to leave a message. It's always wonderful to hear from past pupils!

My mum is a teacher here and I went to the summer fair and
it was really fun! But I have not been to this school before.
I am in year 3 now.

REPLY: Hello Ella! The Summer Fair was great fun. Love from Mum x

As a former pupil,1975-79,was amazed to stumble across your brilliant web site,bringing back loads of memories in the process! There was mrs monaghan,very strict but lovely,and the head was mrs harper if i remember correctly? In the playground were a couple of large concrete tunnel type things we used to play in,and the school dinners were eaten in an old building out the back,hopefully the dinners are better now,dont know if health and safety would pass the old five pence pieces we used to get in our xmas pudding now! Best memory was the the 100 yr anniversary in 76 (i think),when we all dressed up in victorian clothes and even had a feature on nationwide on bbc1 doing a piece! have a great photo i will send..Good luck for the the future and keep up the great and hard work!

REPLY: Thank you for your message Gary! We would love to see a photo!

I was at this school 5 years ago and it was the best school ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REPLY: Great to hear from you Thomas, thanks for the message!

Great to see the site of my old school,I started in 1948,and my first teacher was Mrs B.A.Dickinson,who lived in a house in the lane.
I still have all my school reports to December 1954 when I left.
The school in those days was bursting at the seams,5 classes in the main part, and two overspill classes in the village hall at the bottom of the lane.
I can remember walking up the lane to get our lunch at the main school.
The class size is on each report, and in one year it was 41,and most years in the high 30?s.
After Easter we used to go on the bus once a week to Belmont road Uxbridge, and walk from there up to the open air pool,our allotted time was 10am and it was always freezing cold .
The head master was (gaffer) Thompson,I got the cane off him twice,he was followed by Roy Entwhistle,never had the cane from him,but he went red in the face,and his voice rose when he rebuked you.
Other teachers were Miss E.M.Richards,who married and became Mrs.Cossey.
Mr.Rudman,Miss Martin,(N. Levine) (M. Bramwell)
The school meals were very bland in those days of rationing,
Any veg as long as it was greens, any potato as long as it was boiled, meat as long as it was Mutton, and the sweet or afters as we called it was invariably something that had the texture of frogspawn.
Icould go on with so many happy memories, and some not so.
Kind regards
keith

REPLY: Hello John, really pleased you are enjoying your new school. Everyone is working hard at Denham. I'll pass your message on to Miss De La Mare. Love from Miss Blakeley

I was once a pupil at Denham School1947-1951,along time ago! I have very happy memories and remember Miss Martin as being one of my favorite teachers of all time. I was quite delighted to find the new web site and can see that many changes have occurred since my days. i remember there was a wall in the middle of the playground, separating the boys and girls . I am now living in the US close to SF but hold England and especially Denham village close to my heart.
Joyce Herrera(nee Taylor)

REPLY: Thank you so much for your message Joyce and for sharing your memories wth us. We will have to tell the children at school today about the wall that used to separate the boys and girls! I wonder what they will make of that?

I was here 1965, emigrated from Italy, unable to speak a word of English. Lovely fond memories and recently found an old school photo of the whole class.

Glad to see its still going and often visit Denham (now in Oxfordshire)

REPLY: Thank you for your message Sue. It's always lovely to hear from past pupils.

Whilst I might be one of the younger past-pupils on the guestbook it's still been 12 years since i've stepped foot inside the school. I believe my year was one of the first to have a brick put in the millennium wall! Many fond memories! From what I can see of the pictures it's changed so much! I would love to come and visit again some time.

REPLY: Thanks for your message Jack. It's always lovely to hear from past pupils. You're right, parts of the school have changed a lot especially the Reception Classroom and the addition of the School House.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for arranging the lovely Mothers Day assembly last week. The children were inspired and I think all the mums would agree they did a great job and brought tears to our eyes! I am proud of all of them!

REPLY: Thank you for your message Wendy. We agree, the children did do a great job and we're very proud of them too!

Just wanted to say I loved my time at Denham Infant school, and it was probably the best school i have ever attended.
P.S. I love the new website!
REPLY: Thank you for such a lovely message Michael. I have some very fond memories of teaching your class in Year 2.

REPLY: Thanks for your message David. It's good to hear that you've got some fond memories of the school.

Hi Mrs Cameron and staff :)
I moved to Canada last summer and I thought i'd come and look on this website since it was one of the best schools i've been too :)
Everything looks great. I'd like to say thank you to all the teachers that helped me through 2002-2004.
Keep up the good work!

REPLY: Great to hear from you Shannon! It's lovely to get messages from past pupils. We hope you're enjoying your time Canada. As you can probably see, Mrs Cameron and Mrs Stevenson retired last term but I'm sure they are keeping up to date with things via the website just as you are. Keep in touch!

as a former pupil, i remember this school being the best i have been to, and looking back on the website i see it is still a great school to go to. and i cant believe mrs. cameron and mrs. stevenson have only just retired . they were my teachers! and i have just finished school this year. just want to say thanks.
REPLY: Thank you for your comments, Sarah. It doesn't seem so long since you were here! We send you our very best wishes for the future. Do visit the site again, we love to hear from our former pupils.

We would just like to take this opportunity to THANK Mrs. Cameron for all her wonderful work over the years and to wish her a long and healthy retirement.
She will be a very hard act to follow ! Best wishes, Sue, Kevin, Rebecca & Jack
REPLY: Many thanks for your good wishes. We will pass them on.

What a great find. I went to school here in the very early '70's. I still have a vivid memory to thinking I had discovered a wolf in the corner of the playing field, hidden in the bushes. I had to be consoled by a dinner lady. I remember the snarling, and for some strange reason, it's hot breath! Must have had quite a vivid imagination. It's odd, as I was explaining this to my daughter only last week.
My other memory was having my shorts pulled down in the corridor by my friend as a teacher walked by. Oh well...

REPLY: Thanks for your message Colin. It's always nice to get posts from past pupils. It sounds as though you have some very amusing memories!!

Hello everyone at Denham Village Infant School. Wow! i don't belive it is me who is saying that I miss my school, i don't belive that I have left my school, it is like a dream! I was looking at the website, and suddenly I felt very very sad! I saw my holiday homework (Hong Kong) and my pictures of the christmas play as a cat, my best performance ever!!! i enjoy that very much, also my picture of a painted buterfly face, suddenly, I have tearful eyes and i wanted to go back to my privious school, i miss everybody and I miss fantastic friday and cooking on friday. I have my first birthday invitation at my new school, so that would make me happy!! I will come and see everybody one day!

REPLY: It is so wonderful to hear from you Leanne! We miss you too and it is great that you are looking at the site and keeping up to date with everything. Have a wonderful time at the birthday party and we know that you will love your new school as much as Denham. Keep in touch, love from us all.

It is lovely to see that my old First School (1972-5) is thriving and still looks like a real haven for education as it should be. I particularly like the Healthy initiatives and hope your current parents will get behind them wholeheartedly... I wonder whether I would have enjoyed a piece of fruit or veg instead of the ice cold bottles of milk we had at morning break!

I have so many vivid and happy memories of the School, rooted I think in its ethos of creative play and strong feeling of community - my Mum says I always wanted to go to School! I remember many opportunities and much encouragement to make things and to use our imaginations, from having time to explore the dressing-up box (and posing for a polaroid in Mrs Monaghan's office, wonderful headmistress at the time) to making a macrame bag (well, it was the 70s after all!) Of course, I also loved the annual Easter bonnet competition...

I am now a practising Doll Artist, and I am sure that my experiences in my First School have contributed greatly to my make-up. I had many interesting and lively friends at the School, and if they, like me, wander back down Cheapside Lane at any time, I hope they too get a little weepy thrill of recognition. Keep up the good work and best wishes!
REPLY: Thank you for getting in touch, Louise. We love to hear from former pupils. We're glad that our website acts a link. We try very hard to encourage creativity and healthy lifestyles. We have lots of fun as we learn...who knows, we may even revive macrame!

I started school in 1955 in what is now the memorial hall, then moved to your school . I remember Miss Nichols, Miss Gray (who used to ride a bike}, Miss Martin, Miss Daisy the lollypop lady. I then moved to the school in front of the Alderbourne School. It's lovely to see the school unchanged.
I have now lived 40 years on the other side of the world, but my memories of your school are still very vivid. I'm so glad that in this ever-changing world this building remains.
REPLY: Thank-you for your message,Carol. We are always thrilled to hear from former pupils. We are glad that you have fond memories of the school.We celebrated our 130th birthday this year!

School was shut today because of the snow and I've really enjoyed looking at the photos on the website with my mummy. Looking forward to coming back to school on Monday.
REPLY: Thank you for the message, Sadie. We're glad you enjoyed the website photos. We look forward to seeing you on Monday!

I have been missing Denham Village Infant School a lot, but I have settled in well at Tilehouse school. I miss all my old teachers, but I will come and see you soon.
From Michael Ayris.

REPLY: How lovely to hear from you. We miss you too! You wouldn't recognise Year 2(last year's Y1) they are so grown up! We all wish you well in your new school.

I am having a good time at Denham Village Infant School and I am now in Year 2. My favourite thing is watching Percy Parker on the interactive whiteboard. Percy and his rock and roll band help us with all our times tables by singing them with us!
REPLY: We're glad that you are having fun. It's a great way to learn some very important facts. Rock on, Michael!

REPLY: Hannah, we are certainly going to miss you but we hope that you will come and see us sometime soon. We wish you all the best in your new school and know that lots of good times lie ahead. Please keep in touch!

Thanks Keith,
You have jogged my memory! I happened to log on before telling a friend about the sight i discovered a year ago, and there were the names that i had forgotten. I started in 1950 and only remember Mr Entwhistle as headmaster who was very keen on hockey! And Mrs Cossey was lovely. Mr Rudmkan took us for maths, i think.
Thanks for bringing it back!

Dear All

I am currently in Kabul in Afghanistan until August. Oscar, Hugh and Alister are back home hopefully looking after Pamela while I am away. Good to see your site, the boys still talk of your school and miss it very much. Oscar is attending a special school and is doing well. He still has his moments! Hugh and Alister are coming on well and growing like mad. We hope to build a house this year, it is on hold until I return.

Best Wishes to you all

Russ
REPLY: Its good to know that you are all well and still visit the site. Thanks for your good wishes.

What a wonderful find. My old school with such a neat website! This was Secondary school for both me and my sister, Thelma. I left in 1954, my sister in 1958, as far as I can remember!

We lived in New Denham where we went to primary school.

I walked from New Town Road to the school each day, whatever the weather!

My uncle and aunt lived opposite the pub near the school. I once stayed with them and went to the infant school which was the large room on the left, in about 1946.

The headmaster Mr. Entwhistle loved hockey! We played hockey and rounders on the field behind the school. I often came top in art, and some of my paintings were framed and hung in the corridor.

I was confirmed in St Mary's Church, and my parents and other family are buried there.
Even though I have lived most of my adult life in New Zealand, Denham is where I come from. So, I feel a strong attachment especially to the school.

When I visit the U.K. I often visit the village with my sister. The school looks just the same as it did all those years ago.

I was looking for some history of the village when I saw your website. What a great find!
Thank you.

Hey! I just came across this website so thought I'd leave a message! I used to go to the school a few years ago [1993 - 96] before moving off to Devon which is where I'm at now, doing gcse's in a couple of weeks time and probably off to College next term/year to study to be a doctor or nurse.. not too sure which yet either that or try and become an actress and get a part on Casualty or Holby [seem to be obsessed with them programmes and often end up travelling to the sets where they are filmed meeting the actors & actresses either that or travelling round the country meeting up with fans of it from a website I belong to about it!] So, anyway, just thought I'd say hey to everyone, I shall shurrup rambling now! Hope everyones doing ok up in Denham! :) xxx

Hi! I was at the school for work experience this year in July for 2wks. I loved working with the children in Reception they were lovely and I learnt a lot. All the staff were very friendly and I would love to go back. I went to the school myself between 1994-1996.

REPLY: Thank you for your kind message. We are glad you enjoyed your work experience with us.

Hi To All The Children & Staff at Denham Village Infant School!

It was such a pleasure to visit and do the Face Painting for you on 2.4.04 at your 'Easter Egg Hunt.' Everyone seemed to really enjoy the day! What lucky children you all are!

Thank you so much for your hospitality. The coffee and biscuits were most welcome! Thank you also for collecting me from and returning me to the Train Station! My thanks also to the lady that showed me round the village.

You have every reason to congratulate yourselves! The Staff work very hard to ensure the children have a warm, secure, comfortable environment in which to study and this is reflected by the excellent behaviour of all the young students!

I hope to come and paint you all again soon! I had so much fun!

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

Kindest Regards,
Nicole

Hello to Everyone

We hope you are all ok. We are enjoying living in Cyprus. We miss all our friends and our teachers and staff at the school. Dad will send some photos, but we have had problems with the computer (he's supposed to know how to fix them!). It is hot here now, but when we flew out it was cold, and our house was freezing. Our new school is very big, and we are very busy there.

Bye for now
Oscar, Hugh and Alister

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you. Hope you are all enjoying yourselves - the weather sounds great! Everyone is very busy here at school also and we miss you a lot. Keep in touch!

Great web site, was nice to see the old school after so many years, I was a pupil in the 1940s when it was Old Denham School, and I can remember well Miss Martin and her love of wild flowers, and also Mr Thompson the head master, I can't say I have any pleasent memories of him!! I came to New Zealand in 1967 and ended up as a teacher at Eltham Tech Centre, retiring in 2001, keep up the good work.
REPLY: Thank you for your message. It is always lovely to hear people's memories of our school.

Hi everybody! I love the website and I love the school. I hope you all had a happy easter.
REPLY: Hello Katie. Happy Easter to you too!

we think your website is wicked and we would be grateful if you could visit our website at www.staugustinescp.ik.org.
REPLY: Thank you for your kind message. We visited your site and especially enjoyed looking at the drawings of the members of staff and your displays.

Fantastic website, congratulations.

I have very happy memories of Denham Village School. I left in 1975. It has changed so much. I note your policy on encouraging parents to help. In the 70's a letter was sent out asking Parents to help by contributing their special skills and their time. My Nan (Mrs Fryer) used to come into school every week and hear us read in the library - and continued to do so for many years after I had left. There were lots of other parents who used to help too - I remember learning pottery, cookery and macrame.

I loved the pictures of old Denham. My grandad lived in one of those cottages and attended the School in the early 1900's.
REPLY: Thank you for your message. It's always lovely to hear memories from past pupils.

Loved your web site. It has given us lots of ideas to add to ours(which is only just being constructed). Keep up the good work!
REPLY: Thank you very much. We would love to see yours when it is up and running! Send us the address.

Found your site following a recommendation from Andy Dixon of the ICT team. Congratulations on your recent award. Well deserved.

Best wishes from everyone at Weston Turville CE School
REPLY: Thank you very much!
