It really does feel great to, have found, the primary school I went to, back in 1984. Times may have changed, but even though I'm living in Germany now, it's; great to remember all of the wonderful times and teachers and, memories.

I remember when I went home, after day of school, and heh, did my homework. Its times, like that, that connect, us across time, and, space(bar, heh).

thank you for all the memories claytons, and thank you, for making, more memories for todays generation of wonderful kids. make no mistake, an education at claytons, is a pathway to success, in life.

I thought, one time I wouldn't amount to anything in life, and as claytons stood behind me, I now stand behind claytons, and it really is wonderful, to know that claytons has such a wonderful, teachers, and students, and one time I wouldn't amount to anything in life, and as claytons stood behind me, I now stand behind claytons, and it really is wonderful,

thank you for all the memories, I remember, when I was in year 9 I got a detention (or a deNINEtion, hehx). and its times like that, that in my office in germany I look back, to,

Claytons thanks. ta ra ta ra
Mark.

Y'know, I probably take a look at this page every few years for the sake of nostalgia. Le sigh.

I miss Claytons. I'm at the Wye Valley sixth form at the moment, doing a music performance/technology BTEC, philosophy & ethics, and media studies. I'm having a great time here, but I still look back and see Claytons as the best part of my life.

So erm, yeah. Just felt I should say that. I might come over and visit the summer thingy for the first time in a few years. I miss this place. :3

hi i miss u claytons primary

Ian Gillingham 22 September 2011 22:51:44

As an old pupil of Claytons (both the old Claytons in Hedsor Rd. and the new), I was so pleased to find my dear old school's website and to see that it has flourished - obviously in good hands!
I would so like to thank all the staff (if I could) between 1967 - 1971 for all they did for me and helped shape me as a person. I often look back with many happy memories. Now in my 50's, but it only seems like yesterday we were lining up in the playground to go in!
These days I design systems for particle accelerators and speak at international conferences on the subject - but it's all down to the hard work of good teachers. So a big "Thank You" to you all, past and present.
I remember particularly: Mr. Houghton, Mrs. Harper, Miss Brocklesby.
Keep up the good (hard) work - it will be appreciated by many in later years.

Xpupil 13 September 2011 13:04:18

hi i miss all the teachers at claytons i tell you all to go to wye valley it is the the best place in the world.
so come!!!!

Thanks
The staff enjoyed it too! and although we were shattered the display at the summer fayre demonstrated what a talented bunch of children we have at Claytons. well done everyone!

Hey, everyone Just to say i really thought that art week was amazing. although i am not going to be here next year i really think you should do it again as i learnt many things.

Hi Everybody, just a short message to thankyou all very much for the gifts, letters, memories and all good wishes on my last day before my retirement.
A special thankyou to all the children, parents , former colleagues and governerors and to David Orford for the special privilege of allowing me to officially open the new pond area.
I hope to make a return visit to Claytons very soon.
With all my thanks and best wishes to you all.
Andy

I would just like to say a final farewell to Mr Nash aka Mr Banoonooman. It has been a pleasure to be your cleaner and to work with you for so long. Have a wonderfull retirement but make sure you come back and visit. We will miss you sooooo much but I know every time I eat a banana I will think of you! Bye Bye x

Hey!!
Its been nearly TWO WHOLE YEARS since I left Claytons and i've really missed it! Wye Valley is great and they're not kidding when they say "These are the best days of your life" so year 6's, if you're worried about moving- don't be!!

This was a random search just to see if i could find it really but i went to claytons in 2002 i think lol. It was a really great time and the teachers were great so to future pupils you will have a great time so no worries. :-) I only went there for one year but it was the best school i went to in the uk and there were a lot lol (i moved around a lot) hope you all have a good school year!
Love Bekah xxx

Anya :-) 30 April 2010 14:55:39

Hi guys
Luv claytons sooooooo much I don't wanna leave its just sooo sad :-( ya know? xxxxxx

Jas Bansel 09 April 2010 23:09:32

I thought that as I had a little bit of spare time (as my little ones slept) I would look at the school website. It is so nice to read the comments from children past and present- it really shows how Claytons has affected their lives and has been the basis for many memories to come in the future. It brought back a few memories for me, of children from several years ago and it is lovely to know that they still think of the school. I can't wait to return in April and resume my job although I will miss my little ones and the job of being a full time mum! See you all soon! Keeping working hard for this last term!

Alex Honey 05 April 2010 14:28:31

"hi eveyone at claytons,
i miss claytons loads, wish i could go back only if there was a claytons secondary school!!!!!!!!!"-luke harris 24 March 2008 09:11:49

I would just like to point out that Luke's grammar has improved since I employed him and that he can actually write out a sentence correctly, without difficulty. Disappointing though, still. Anyway, happy 15th to Luke today! And all is going well at Wye Valley. We're all pretty epic. Well, I'm pretty epic.

Hello Friends,
My friend used to go to this school. She is extremely clever and I would just like the opportunity to say that I am very impressed with Claytons Primary School and it is certainly a great place to be. I think you children should be proud that you have a great school with excellent education. Make the most of your days left here. If you come here, you will lead a very successful life. I wish you every success in the future.
Well Done to teachers and pupils.
A True Admirer. = D

We live on Chapman Lane and have noticed how reckless parents drive down this narrow country lane with their children to and from school. We have witnessed several crashes, near misses and a number of animals getting killed, including our own pet. We therefore urge parents to slow down and stop risking your own lives and those of your children.
* * * *
This is a really valid point. We are constantly trying to remind parents of the importance of driving carefully and parking sensibly around the school. We have an active hard working Travel Plan, organised by Ullie Walmsley. if you are interested in helping us or wish to contact us again you can do so via Ullie. Any parents who are reading this message we hope you take notice. Thank you

The following are e-mails received to the guestbook that have been posted as a single posting, due to some interesting grammar and spelling and just the fact most are a general hello to everyone past and present.
ENJOY reading...

Molly Ridley 17 April 2008 17:05:52
I think claytons school is great. We get lots of new children coming in every year. My auntie has an autistic child, (my cousin), and he may be coming to claytons. I am a bit nervous about my 11+ this year, but i'll manage!
I think that if my cousin came here, he would love it! This is because we have lot and lots of nice kids here, and the department children are lovely! If my cousin came it would be even better, i can then play with him at break times.

Hi Everyone, my daughter Loren is about to start full time school,(05/09/07) and i hope that she enjoy's her time at Clayton's as much as everyone who has signed the guest book, and when she's all grown up, her memories of the school will be happy one's. (good luck Teacher's )

Helen Turner 31 August 2007 00:00:00

Good Web site, very colourful for the children, however for a parent or prospective parent looking for certain information its not user friendly. Would be nice to have a Parent Section which lists School Uniform Requirements, School Opening Times - day timings for the children when they need to be dropped off and collected, Term Dates and Stationery Requirments (although on the site not easy to find). Hope the comments are check by the web-site manager!

emma scott 18 July 2007 00:00:00

I left claytons a while ago and am just coming into year nine. I left a note to Mrs Griffis to say I was looking through her class page and saw my work from nearly three years ago of goldilocks and the three bears and I'm happy that its on show. I miss the fun environment of claytons but am happy to meet new people.

I really liked claytons now i live in devon but i still check for news and its still a wicked school from alex

***
We hope you have settled into your new school. We remember how fond of dinosaurs you were. Hope you and your family are enjoying Devon too.

Hiya!
How you all doing?
I'm loving Becki Hi and have made loadsa new mates!
Miss Claytons though....
Lotsa love Ellie xxx

Pleased you are enjoying your new school. Thanks for your posting

hey guys..

love yooh all lots -xo

Hi everyone!! Hope you're all having fun. Congratulations to Mrs Garnett. Hope mum and baby are doing well!! Miss you all loads!! I'm enjoying Borlase's but I still miss Claytons!! xx
***
Will pass on your congratulations to Mrs Garnett. Glad you are enjoying your new school.

hello every body, hope you all had a good summer holidays and are all enjoying you first half term. i miss you all.xxx
****
We all miss you too, Toni. Hope you have found a job with nice people to work with?
xx

Hello Claytons i'm missing you already and i'm really sad to leave good luck everybody keep on working hard!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
* * * * *
I'm sure we will continue to work hard! Good Luck in September.

The 'Joseph', production by year 5/6 was really enjoyable & a credit to all those involved.
* * * * *
Thanks Tony, the staff and children worked really hard. We are glad you enjoyed it.

Today is transition day and my daughter is spending some time in Miss Lailey's class (once again the parents seemed more anxious about this move than the children!).
As this is my first child to go through the school system, I actually have not met Miss Lailey and feel that as she will be an important person in my daughters day to day school life it would have been nice to 'put a face to the name'. Would 'meet the teacher' be something you may consider in the future?
* * * * *
We do offer a meet the teacher evening in September, but yes you are right by this time the children have settled into their new classes. We have a parents evening on Wednesday 11th July and I'm sure Miss Lailey would be more than happy for you to pop in and meet her, at least you will have been able to put a face to a name before the summer holiday starts. I will mention your suggestion to the Senior Management Team, thanks for contacting us.
Mrs Garnett

Hi Everybody

No doubt you're all looking forward to the summer holidays, hope it dries up before then! I'm going on a school trip this week (ice-skating), then we're haveing a band called Brass Hoppers in term 3. In a couple of months we're going on a 3 day 2 night school camp in the Adelaide hills.

I'm having trumpet lessons at school now (not the same without Mr Ho!!), playing inline roller hockey, having swimming lessons and I belong to the local Cub Pack.

My sister, Jenny, has started my school now and she is going dolphin watching this friday for her school trip. She loves being at school but still remembers Claytons Nursery and all her friends there.

Anyway life here is awsome. At the moment it's winter so a bit colder, it was even was frosty the other morning.

Well I have got to go now so
!bye!
from Glen

PS Hiya George B! :)
* * * * *
Glen, how lovely to hear from you, we can't imagine going dolphin watching on one of our school trips. It's nice that you have been looking at the website to see what we have been up to.
Take care in Australia.

The website is looking really good now. Very colourful & eye catching.
In the interests on the younger children please could you let me know if the buddy bustop still exists?
* * * * *
Thank you Rachel. Yes, the Buddy Bus Stop does still exist but we had a few problems, Mr Nash attached it to a post by the top playground and a parent reversed and knocked it down!!
We are looking to get some benches for the key stage 1 children to sit at while they wait for their buddy, which will make it easier for the children. So hopefully we will sort out these problems shortly.
Mrs Garnett

I left claytons a year ago but I never forget the help all teachers gave me

Alex Honey

Thought I'd just say "Hello".
How's the school changed nowadays? I'm writing a French essay on it. Someone reply please.
*******
Bonjour Ashley, some of our Year 3/4 children are now doing French lessons once a week. Hope your essay is successful. We are very proud of our school and hope you are enjoying yours? Come back and visit us again.

Hello,

The websites really good. Me and my friend are looking around each others school websites and she agrees that ours is better than hers!
From Kallie
*** Thanks we like to think so too.

my name is Laura Neale and i am a student at BCA college. i recently visited Claytons and i thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would love to come back there some time. it is quite convienient because my nan and grandad live there!

**** we enjoyed you being at our school, look forward to seeing you again.

Having had a good perusal of our school website it inspired me to take a look at my old primary school's. I was disappointed with theirs. But WOW, I then realised how great Clayton's website is. Thank you to Caroline, David and Claire you obviously put in a huge amount of time to keep the site so up to date and lively. Somehow you have managed to capture the caring feeling of the school but on line. It shows how our school values everyone who steps through the door, adults and children alike. Thank you all the staff appreciate it.
* * * * *
Thanks Mrs Davies, the thanks is all down to David and Caroline - I don't know what we would do without them.
Mrs Garnett

I love this school! It will be a shame when I have to leave after yr 6!
Bye
* * * * *
Moving on is always tricky - we will miss you too!
Mrs Garnett

Hi all. Hope things have been going well since I left! I've seen the new buildings, they're Gr8! Hope to be back soon. See you then! Jethro -_-

Mrs Garnett

Claytons is a great school especially Mrs Stanley
* * * * *
Bruno I am glad that you are happy at school
Mrs Garnett

G'day mates

I really enjoyed Claytons and I'm really sad i had to leave. It is such a brilliant school with exellent students and teachers. I will always remember the great times I had there.

Life in south Australia is excellent. It's a lot hotter than the UK and I get to go to the beach after school. We've had koalas in the trees outside our house and blue tongue lizards in our back garden and LOTS of spiders!

See ya

Glen
* * * * *
How lovely to hear from you. We miss you. Isn't technology amazing, you can find out what we are up to all the way from Australia. We are having our Christmas Fair next week so that will be fun. I suppose the weather is really warm in Australia. Keep looking at the site.
Love Mrs Garnett

Thanks to Caroline and David and all who have contributed to this site. It looks fantastic. Some really nice comments in the guestbook.
* * * * *
Thanks Mr Orford, it's nice to know that you think Caroline and David are doing a fab job! We all agree.

I really enjoyed reading the report about me leaving on Friday. It is most interesting to know how you see the job I did in the school. Thank you for all my lovely presents and cards.
I wish you all the very best of luck in the future and I am missing you already.
Mrs Jones
* * * *
Thanks Mrs Jones - the school doesn't seem the same without you.
We hope you find time in your new job to check the website so you can see what we have been up to.

heya i really miss the school but my little brov is telling me about every thing thats happening there e.g. Mr Orford new knee and the new builidings i really miss claytons and mrs garnett who is the best teacher in the world bye every one xxxxxxxx
* * * * *
I'm glad you enjoy finding out what has happening in the school. Mr Orford's new knee seems to be working well!!! I'm glad you have happy memories of your primary school
Mrs Garnett

I think Claytons is the best school ever and I really don't want to leave at the end of the year!!!
* * * * *
It is always sad moving on - enjoy the rest of year 6 there are lots of exciting things planned for you to do.
Mrs Garnett

What a wonderful environment for learning and fun. I enjoyed looking at the skeletons in the SCD.
* * * * *
I'm glad that you enjoyed looking at our website, we hope you continue to look in the future.

Claytons is the best primary school in the world it has the best teachers and the friendliest pupils and recommend it to any children who are looking for a primary school
* * * * *
I'm glad that you are happy at school. We all enjoy working here.
Mrs Garnett

heya Claytons website, i think it would be nice to have some of the year 6s scrap books on the website to show visitors how we (the cirrent year 6's)are rembering claytons. im going to miss it so much i know i am going to cry on the last day!
from isla
* * * * *
Isla, that's a good idea. If we do scrap books next year we will scan some examples in. We hope you enjoy your new school - we will all miss you

I know the day that Sports Day is happening, but I was looking on here to see if there were any more details (time etc). Also times of the school production. Notes do not always make it home!! It is good to know the details as far in advance as possible when you work so the time can be blocked off in diary.
* * * * *
A good point, Mr Orford does put copies of the newsletter on the website but I can see that these may not contain sufficient detail. Yes we will try to update the calender with all the events (with times) although it is tricky keeping up with it, we are looking for a parent who enjoys ICT who might like to help!!

Hi its jimbob, remember me? I used to come to claytons 10 years ago! now live in Blackpool. Is Mrs Antcliffe still there? I remember being really scared of her in year 1! Bye
Jimbob
* * * * *
I'm afraid Mrs Antcliffe left 18 months ago, she retired. She was brilliant and I know that all the staff and children thought very highly of her. I have taken over Mrs Antcliffe's role at Deputy Head. I hope you continue to look at our website.
Mrs Garnett

Hi everybody! Its ash and jess here! We really enjoyed the summer fete and the wye valley concert! Really pleased to here that claytons yet again have won the first round of the year 6 games as usual! We're both having a great time at becky high and look forward to the new year seven's coming here in september!
GOODLUCK in the next round of the year 6 games!! Go Claytons!! We think its a great website but think perhaps a few pictures of the old year sixes!!!!!!
GOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
* * * * *
Thank you Jessica and Ashley, we are glad that you enjoyed the Fair. It was as brilliant as usual, thanks to the wonderful PTA we have. Yes, our year 6's won the year 6 games again. As for pictures of old year 6's perhaps!!!
I am glad to hear that you are enjoying Becky High.
Mrs Garnett

your school looks great and you have added a great lot of work to the website and let the children have a say lovely place i will send my child here
* * * * *
I'm glad you are impressed, we look forward to meeting your child.

Hello,
Just going through some old photos of when I used to go to claytons before it changed to a combined school. Im 22, I left in 94 & still have many great memories of the place & school!!!!!
* * * * *
Dear Geoff
Thanks for the message, I'm glad you have happy memories. You may even remember some of the teachers Mrs Griffiths is still here and Mr Nash is still the caretaker. Some of our Year 6 children were born the year you left! Time goes by very quickly.
Mrs Garnett

Hi
Maybe we could have the Newspapers on the website from creative afternoon.Though the internets great! We could also have some games on the internet mabey maths and other subjects.That would be fun.I'll miss Claytons when I go .
Bye Bye
* * * * *
Dear Megan
Thanks for the message, we did think about putting the newspaper on the website, but as we are charging people to buy it, it might stop people purchasing it if they could read it for free on the website. Games are a good idea - I'm not sure I'm techncial enough to design games and put them on the website, but perhaps we could recommend good maths games websites - what do you think?
Mrs Garnett

hi
loving school at the mo.Mrs garnet has turned out to be the best teacher ever!!! Ihope your having a great time too.
bye
* * * * *
I'm really glad that you are enjoying school, perhaps we need to work on full stops and capital letters in English! I hope you continue to enjoy learning.
Mrs Garnett

Hi Everyone
its great to see that all the lastest news is up here and some of the past keep up the good work.
Ellen xxx
* * * * *
Thank you Ellen - we will do our best.

Hiya!!!!!!

The school website is really cool! book day was super fun I hope that I can do it again (Emma) before I go. Becca and I think you should have more pics of the children actually doing work or playing sports or somthing! The website needs to be more....COLOURFUL!
x Becca and Emma x
* * * * *
Thank you for your comment girls. I am glad that you enjoyed Book Day. I'm sure we can dress up again before you leave. Yes it is nice to have colourful pictures on the website and we will try our best but it does require a lot of time and effort - perhaps you could help take some.
Mrs Garnett

hiya!!!!!!!!!!

this is really cool, but are there any pics of the pupils/teachers?
We will miss you mrs grafham!!!
natalie
* * * * * *
Dear Natalie
Yes we have pictures of the teachers, click on the page "About Us" and look at "Our Staff". We have some picutres of the children scattered around the site. We will all miss Mrs Grafham.
Mrs Garnett

A trip down memory lane - I left Claytons (Middle School as it was then) to attend John Hampden in 1978.
Wonderful memories of when life was simple and I got good reports. Playing football on the pitch up the road that sloped so badly. Glorious.

Graham Smith - former resident of Bourne End
* * * * *
Dear Graham
Thank you for looking at our website, I should imagine that the school has changed a lot in the last 25 years. We still have a pitch up the road, and yes it still slopes - somethings don't change! We hope you continue to enjoy looking at the site.
Mrs Garnett

hi guys i used to go to this school it has changed soooo much! i'm proud i went here it's a great place! i have now moved to somerset and i'm in my final year at school. and hello mr ho i meen holland (he used to be my tutor).
love libby
* * * * *
Dear Libby
Good Luck in your final year at school, I should think that Somerset is very different from Bourne End. Mr Holland still works at the school and is always busy with the band or the choir. I am glad that you enjoyed your time here.
Mrs Garnett
xxxxx

Great to see a web site that has contributions from the kids.
Would it be possible to have a homework list for years 5 and 6 posted on here? Perhaps even a weekly posting of what homework is due that week. It would solve the "I left my notes at school" problem.
Keep up the good work!

Dear Bob Bradshaw
Thanks for the message, that's a really good idea to post the homework list on the website each week - it would involved quite a bit extra work for some of the teachers, but the idea is great, perhaps we could trial it in a year group and see if other parents though it was worthwhile.

Nice to see news by pupils. Would be good to get information into the extracurricular section, eg a summary of what is on offer and when, sucesses etc.

You are right - it's just a case of getting out afterschool with a camera, we are hoping to have that page up and running by Christmas. It just takes time . . . Hopefully you will keep looking.

hi dudes at claytons!!
I hope you 'enjoy' school and are all well by the way I like my new school.
Anyway I believe you changed the school name, what is it called now?
and I will try and keep in touch. BYE!!

Hello Liam
I'm glad that you chose to look at the site and leave a message. Yes we changed our name on the 1st September to Claytons Primary School, which we felt was nicer that Claytons Combined School. I'm really glad that you like your new school. Hope you are working hard.
Mrs Garnett

Hi Anna
I'm glad you are enjoying your new school. It's lovely to hear from you.
Mrs Garnett

Nice to see the website coming back up to date with input from the pupils adding significant interest. Thanks.

Thanks we are trying hard to improve the site. Any ideas about what we can add would be gratefully received - Mrs Garnett

Well Done on the beginnings of updating the website. I was particularly interested in the news items. It would appear that there is still some updating to be done on the other
links (more uptodate pictures would be nice) and the extra-curricular page is empty! Still, a good start and a great way to show off our lovely school.

You are absolutely right. We need to take some pictures during all the afterschool activities and write a little bit about each. Watch this space!

the pictures are good but there needs to be some links put in. i wish i had been here to help

Hello Savannah
I'm glad you found time to look at our site. What sort of links would you like to see?
Mrs Garnett

I am very impressed with this website. I think Emily and Chloe are very talented young girls. This websiite is very good idea and is going to be a real asset to the school.

You are right. Emily and Chloe are exceptionally talented. During the last hour on a Friday afternoon the whole of Key Stage 2 has a "creative afternoon". It's all really exciting, the children play golf, table tennis, write the school newspaper, cook, play bridge etc. It was during this time that Emily and Chloe wrote the weekly news, unfortunately they are now cooking! Malcolm and Georgie have taken over until Christmas, but I'm sure they will do a fantastic job. Look out for their news.
