Robin Turrell

Went to Gresworld between 87-90. Remember Mr King and Mr Carnell very well. Was in the same class as Jonathan Barnes, Katie Munro, Elizabeth St George? Katie Munro was my first girlfriend I think? remember being kind of jealous cause she really liked Rick Astley the singer. remember also going on week long trip to Wales where a goat deprived me of my field trip work so Mr Carnell had to wrestle with it to get it back (so funny). Best time of my life going to that school, great teachers. I've still got my 1990 and of year book signed by Mr Carnell and the mayor where all pupils write a poem or something like that.
Robert Parker

I went to Gresworld in 1986. I came from Denmark. I went only for one year and we returned to Denmark before most of you went to Lode Heath. Would like to hear from any one who remember the class of 1986. I think to remember we had Mr. King as our teacher.

1970's
I went to Greswold Infants/Juniors from 1969-1976. I started in Mrs Parry's class and my later teachers were Mrs Bridgens, Mrs Harrison, Mrs Rogers, Mrs Sudaby, Miss Pople and Mr Burley. Linda Seidal was a teaching assistant. I also remember Mr Kent (he looked like one of The Proclaimers only stood much taller in his duffle coat). Mrs Bullivant was headmistress. I sat next to my cousin Martin Benton for most of infants/juniors. We both lived in Lighthorne Road. Friends were Ben Winsworth, Simon Reynolds, Stuart Hall, Stuart & Andrew Wilson, John Arnold, Colin Ager, Martin Swift, Anthony Turrell, Karen Evans. I fancied Ruth English (she was Scottish) but was never brave enough to tell her.
Richard Cassidy

Error in my earlier post, Miss Pople was at my senior school, Tudor Grange! I forgot to mention Mrs Johnstone though. She played us in to assembly each morning on an upright piano decorated at the back with colourful felt fish. It seemed that Bach's 'Chorale from Cantata BWV 147' was her only tune! I think of Greswold Infant's every time I hear it played.
Richard Cassidy

I was at Greswold School 1970.  I lived on Thornby Ave.  Jane Taylor my best friend lived in Buryfield Road. i remember the very scary Mrs Bullivant.  She was straight out of a Dickens novel. Punitive and cruel, as I remember.
Joanne Burns

Left Greswold school around 1972,and I lived around the corner in Woodfield Road Looking to school friends    
Marc Butler

Is there anyone out there who has a better memory than me? I was there, left in 1971.
I can't remember many names - Steven Howe, Jimmy Mitra, Simon Hancox....er.....Jenny Wits.....er...umn!
Neil Martin
1960's
Greswold Junior school 1966-69. I was there and it seems a life time ago, where have the years gone. Definitely the happiest, care free schooldays of my life. Isobel Lowe, Debbie Cook, Diane Watson (If you're reading this Diane, you were my first crush, if only I had been brave enough to tell you, who knows what the future may have held!!) Steven Dann, Malcolm Hooper, Jane Taylor, Bev Yetman (is your name Beryl?) Paul Nicholls, Simon Whitehouse, Clare Langstone, Frances Hall, David Ewer and so many more who I would instantly remember if I heard the name. Mr Hemmings (looked after the footy team, I was the keeper) Mrs Harrison, Carnell, and the Mrs Bullivant (aka as the Trunchbull, wow she was scarey). Hi to Andrew Pettitt, not in my year but a Ferndown Road fellow resident, along with Paul (pickles) Nicholls, Simon (Snoz) Whitehouse, Stephen and Caroline Giles and Nigel Neville. Hope everyone I remembered here, and those I havnt recalled, but haven't forgotten, are well and happy in their middle age. The passage of time is remorseless, but the memories are timeless.
John Aston

I was at Greswold until 1962/3. My form teachers included Miss Hoggett and Mr. Kerr - perhaps Janet's Scottish form master. I also remember a Miss Butterfield. Does anyone know what happened to a girl called Jennifer Allen? I lived in Glebe Road and she lived round the corner.
Margot Kuhnel

I remember Greswold infants and juniors. At school '66 to '73. I really enjoyed those days. I remember all my teachers...Miss Turner, Mrs Bolland/Mrs Wentle, Mrs Sudaby, Miss Knight, Mr Martin (heart-throb), Mrs Harrison and Mrs Rodgers!! I remember winning the netball tournament , sports days on the big field (I was in St Patricks), singing Rudolph at the Christmas party and Miss Taylor who taught the violin. My mum was dinner lady at the Infants, Mrs Smith. Do you remember Mrs Ranson and Mrs Neville the dinner ladies!!!!! The days are like yesterday
Lesley Sawrey (nee Smith)

I attended Greswold Infants then moved to the Juniors. I left the Juniors in 1969 after the dreaded 11 plus.. Moving to the Juniors meant walking across the field to the 'big' school. Teachers that I remember in Infants: Ms Wood (headmistress) Ms Wentle, Ms Harding
Juniors:  Miss Bullivant (headmistress, very strict), Mr Kerr , Mr Carnell (my form teacher in one of the two Terrapins at the back of the school hall) Mr Hemmings, Ms Hoggett? had lived in New Zealand.
Mr Kerr gave each pupil an ice cream cornet on leaving day. He might have played the bagpipes to 'see us off'?
Breaktimes in the playground listening to Tony Blackburn on the portable radios we all had back then. Listening to childrens hour on the radio in the school hall. Watching 'The Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe' series on TV in class. A girl called Jaqueline Hunt playing the piano in morning assemblies.
Pupils names I remember: Lawrence Main, Sean O.Connell?? lived on Lode Lane, Mark Selwyn, Paul and Barry Aymes, Claire Langstone, Gail Arrowsmith, Susan Beck, Trevor ?? a childhood friend who lived in Buryfield Road, Mark Sansome, Keith West
Happy Memories of a great school
Garry Knox

I was at Greswold from 1963-68, and also lived in Ferndown Road. We lived at No. 44, with the Davis family at No. 42, the Faulkners at No 46. Andrew, you lived opposite, and I recollect the Davison's not far from you. Helen, sorry, but cannot remember you.
Philip Powell

I remember you Andrew, I also lived in Ferndown Road  You have obviously moved on, I still live in Solihull and my children attended Greswold (without the e) too. The day I took them in all the memories came flooding back!
Helen Thatcher

I moved to Greswold for my final year at junior school from Wales - must have been 1963. Had a Scottish form master (can't remember his name) who taught us country dancing. Remember playing rounders and getting a certificate for throwing a rounders ball a certain distance and other events. Moved on to Harold Cartwright School.
Janet Gregory (now Jan Gray)

Lived in Ferndown Road so ended up at Greswold infants school and Greswold junior school (please note there is no "e" in Greswold !)  attended there mid 60's.  must go back some time !!
