Just an addendum....looking through the pictures, I saw the swimming pool. My dad, and my friends fathers, were all instrumental in 'building' the pool. The money was raised from the school fete, and they were all given 'jobs' and completed it, in the evenings, under supervision. The following year money was raised for the cover. I had great delight in saying, 'My dad built the pool'.

Fifty years ago, April 1965, I started 'grown up' school at Uxendon Manor, with my friend Karen. We met two other little girls, who were 4 years old, Lesley and Michele. We were in Mrs. Thorne's class.
It was a lovely classroom, with a Wendy House. Mr MacDonald was the Headmaster, and he was very tall and awesome, but very kind.
Since then, the four little girls have kept in touch, even though I am now living in Austin, TX, in the USA.
Those years, from Reception to the '10's', (no Y1, Y2 in those days,) were wonderful. My teachers (after Mrs Thorne) were, Mrs Rita, Mrs Clifford and Mrs Franklin (job shared), Mr. Bromley, Mr Smith and Miss Creek (2 years).
Fifty years ago we knew nothing of Internet, 'smart' phones, or 'Skype' (without which I would have to resort to old fashioned writing to keep in touch with my friends).
We were safe at Uxendon Manor, and the memories will live forever.

He has had the biggest most positve impact on my life, more than words could describe and more than he will ever know. I look back with the fondest of memories. This was one of my happiest times in my life. I think we were the last year to go to butlins in Wales and put on the play, going going gone where I played a politician and the queen of hearts from the nursery rhyme! I now live in Coventry where I believe its where mr woodfield was from and knew that he supported Coventry football team.

Schools, teachers, friends and family are the most important things in a child’s life.

Uxendon Manor was the most wonderful school. I started there in 1953-4. We loved our school and had a great sense of belonging. We used to walk to and from school and rarely saw a car other than Mr McDonald’s (the headmaster) black ?Morris. He was a wonderful headmaster, he would always teach when required and used to set us difficult (to us) questions to find the answers to – the first one to find him and give him the answer was often rewarded with a sixpence.

I remember nearly all of my teachers and many others, Mrs Inkpen, Mrs Creek, Mrs Golding, Mrs Clutterbuck, Mrs Annals, Mrs Dunn, Mr Fry, Mr Jones and Mr Simons the caretaker.

Mr Jones who used to smoke a pipe and end every day with a story and a joke (some of which I still tell) was, without doubt, the person who most influenced me as I grew up. He gave me knowledge, thinking skills and self confidence. I wish I could pass my thanks on to him and/or his family.

Keep up the good work.

A big hairy bearded gentle giant playing "House of the rising sun' on his portable record player. And can't believe you still have the swimming pool under the white tunnel canopy. Had lots of fun learning to swim in there. The dinner hall was next to it as I remember. Many happy memories. Wishes all your past and future pupils lots of happy days in this lovely school. Xx

I was a student at Uxendon Manor school from 1950 to 1955.
It's well over sixty years since I walked from my home at Branksome Way, along Lindsay Drive and then the long walk (or so it seemed) along Falcon Way, through the Council Estate and then the pathway alongside the "Brook", which led to the entrance of Uxendon Manor school.
I'm quite sure, that we wore school uniforms - I think that brown was the dominant colour. A blazer with the school emblem sewn onto the pocket, short grey trousers, white shirt and striped school tie. A school cap with a small school emblem completed the ensemble. How smart we must have looked!
Memories of my teachers have faded over the years; however, a few names do emerge from the mists of time. Mrs. Butcher? I remember her as a strict disciplinarian, somewhat stricter than the norm. A good math teacher.
It was during the reign of Mrs. Butcher, that we were taught how to use a pen and ink. To my joy, I was given the responsibility of filling the inkpots, one of which was located in each student's desk. What a mess! We were each issued a piece of blotting paper; however, this did little to clear-up the blobs and splashes that were evident on our school work. Nibs crossed and broke with alarming frequency. Hands, face and clothes provided clear proof that we were masters (?) of a new skill.
Mr. Smith, I remember him well. He would enter the room in the morning. Immediate silence. We would stand in unison. He was silent. We knew what was coming. He raised his conductor's baton. We started. We chanted the words and numbers, like monks in a Benedictine monastery: One times One through all the tables until we finished at twelve times twelve. Mr Smith would then lay aside his baton, the school day began. I have never forgotten my multiplication tables!
I was fortunate to have Mrs. Inkpen as my teacher in my last year at Uxendon Manor school. All we knew of Mrs. Inkpen's personal life, was that she originally came from Cheddar, the town famous for its caves and cheese. Mrs. Inkpen usually ended each school day by reading to us. Chapters read from J. Meade Faulkner's Moonfleet remain clear in my memory. We were introduced to the wonderful childrens' stories written by Enid Blyton. My love of literature stems from those early days in Mrs. Inkpen's class.
On occasion, Mrs. Inkpen would tell us stories of the war years. She described the Spitfires weaving intricate vapour trail patterns in the blue skies above the school in the summer of 1940, as those brave fighter-pilots fought the enemy during the Battle of Britain.
Mr. Macdonald, the Headmaster, was an imposing and fearsome figure of absolute authority. Tall (Or was it that we were short?) with a full head of very white hair. To be sent to his office for some misdemeanour was a terrifying experience.
I suspect, by looking at pictures, that the school hasn't changed too much. Of course, the wartime air raid shelters have long gone. As a small imaginative schoolboy, the strictly off-limit air raid shelters attracted us like a magnet attracts a piece of metal. Temporarily used as a storage place, these cavernous gloomy structures were places of high adventure to us.
The large school canteen must have fed the majority of the school population. Horrible but just about edible food was dished up each day at a cost of five shillings per week. The famously watery custard that contained large lumps of undissolved custard powder, was ladled onto an unimaginable dessert, making it barely edible. Like some of the naughtier students and unbeknown to our parents, we would often use the five shillings to purchase sweets or that gourmet delight known as a chip bun. A large bun hollowed-out and then filled with six penny worth of chips - What could be better than that?
Your web-site sent me back to a time of innocence and joy as we began our life's journey. For that, I thank you.
Should anyone read my message and remember me from those far-off times, I would be delighted to hear from you.
Every success to Uxendon Manor in the future.
Richard Leney.
