Isabell Groegaard

ummm......how do i start this? im Adnan jalil and attended the school from 2001-2006! I know i must seem sad actually leaving a message here but i just hope none of my friends read this. Im getting my gcse results today, and guess what its also my 16th birthday today!
 I think that this school was amazing and i will truly miss it.   I have to give a round os applause to da staff and da governing board for such a great job at the school and alot of thanxs to Miss Westwood [head teacher] for an atstanding job.  my three favourite teachers are: Mr McCracken...Mr Ward...and Miss Donnely [i still dont know how to spell her name]. However all my other teachers were great aswell and dont deserve any less applause.  The most memorable time i have had at this school was...ummm......when i went to laser quest with the P.E class to laser quest and as we were entering there were some kids who thought the were all ''gangstar'' and ''hard'' blew canabis smoke in my face which made me have a headache....lol....naaa...im sure i have better memories. Finally i must say thankyou to my form tutors for being great supporters of me and helping me: Mr Hains and Mrs Burrows.

Craig Tonks

Hello folks, I don't suppose I'm old enough to be writing messages on this board but hey ho. I left Lyndon in June 2001 after finishing my GCSE's. Mrs. Westwood was the Head, Mr. Ash was Deputy Head, Mr Ricketts was Head of Year and Mr. Powell was my Form Tutor throughout the five years. After that I went to Solihull Sixth Form College with most other people to do science A Levels which was probably best move of my life. I have my final Chemistry exam tomorrow and its 6.19am so I should probably be revising. I leave college after that and unfortunately I will probably lose contact with the people I remember from Lyndon. We are going to try and keep in touch but I guess when you get to 18 you know things aren't always that easy. I am off to Bristol Uni in October to do Anatomy, Physiology and Biochem and I'm bit nervous about leaving home. Anyway, If you wanna get in touch you have my email and I'd love to hear from you. Cya soon folks, all the best......... Neil xx
Neil Smith

Hey. Just a quick hello to anyone who knows me from my Lyndon days. I was a student there from 1996-2001. Was wondering how people are? I will never forget the days spent at Lyndon, they were some of the best years of my life so far. For anyone that's interested, I have just completed my A-Levels and am now studying music at Vienna Conservatoire in Austria. Anyone that wants to get in touch, please do, would be great to hear from people.

Lisa Camwell (No email address supplied)

HA HA! I'm BACK! So, how are you all? Missing me yet? Well, I have lots and lots of fond memories of my beloved Lyndon, how I miss it so! My favourite would be sitting at the bottom of the staff room stairs when I fractured my knee and making sure that everyone was happy and ready to work! The only person who actually appreciated it was Mr Brian Ash, YOU'RE A DUDE! Anyway, I shall be back to see you soon, I doubt I'll be at the reunion as it's my 19th birthday! WOO-HOO!!! Anyway, love ya and leave ya! Miss you all! Luv Lots, Daiz XxX ;-)

I attended Lyndon school between 1993 and 1998 and am wondering what has happened to all the other people from my year.
Kimberley Mann

I
They say that the school days are the best days of your lives ... so I’ve gone back! I’m now the Network Manager and started working there in July 2000, only two years after leaving. I’m getting married in September! I still see some of my old friends, but regrettably have fallen out of contact with others. If you want to, drop me a line. My details aren’t that difficult to find on the Internet...
Daniel Dainty

I was in Lyndon in 1998 and moved to Spain when I was going into year 11.
I miss all my old friends and get really home sick some times, if any of my old mates read this please get in touch I miss you all and would love to speak to you lot again. I love Spain and am currently studying Art and Sociology.  I hope every one is doing what they wanted.
My sister and I were not happy to leave my home my boyfriend my good mates and my family. But the thing I miss the most is Solihull because I grew up there, all my memories are there. I cried for a long time after I left but now I have the people I knew and Solihull is in my memories.
Donna Harley

I was a pupil at Lyndon until leaving at the sweet age of 16 in May 1994.
The last time I set foot in the school was Oct '94, and this was to pick up some certificates. I haven't seen anyone from my year for quite some time and want to know what people are up to now. I'm not sure how many people will remember me, I was fairly quiet at school. I was in class 11B when I left after the dreaded GCSE exams. Mr Lawton was my last form teacher. If anyone can remember me, please get in touch and let me know how life is treating you!
James Wilson

I was an in-mate between 1977 (the year I discovered the sex pistols) and 1981. I then went to the 6th form and from there did a couple of degrees in London.  After working overseas for a while I've been back in the UK and living in Cambridge for the past 3 years.  Fav teacher was definitely Mr Martin the maths genius who also had an uncanny ability to target chalk missiles at us delinquents sitting in the back of the class.

John Kitchen

I attended Lyndon 1969 to 1974. would like to hear from anybody else who was there during this period.
Stephen Prosser

Former Chapel Fields then Lyndon School 1969-1974.Contact me if any of these names ring bells:- Richard Badland(RIP), Martin Humpheries, Ian Docker, Mark Mansell, Kevin McKee et al. On the teaching side I'm surprised that none of the other entries at time of writing mention Ian 'Chad' Chadderton- all round good bloke. Old age lends itself to thinking that school days were blissfully happy when in reality they were probably really quite crap. Still, Lyndon prepared you for life's ups and downs as good as anywhere and the teachers were at least characters. Here's to you Sam Carter, Charlie Bull, Winnie Poole, Old Man Bassett, Morris Chilton & Beaky Thomas. Wherever you are, Good Luck and Best Wishes to all ex-Lyndonites. 
Jez Price

I would still like to hear from anyone in class  2A to 5A through the years of 1969 to 1974.I now live in Bedfordshire, married with 2 children, enjoying my mid-life crisis by looking back as we all do, to those years that only seem a blink of an eye away. It would be good if any of the teaching staff mentioned in my earlier posting could write and let us know how the old place is doing.
Phil Johnson

I am trying to locate Jeffrey Garrett who used to go to Lyndon High School for boys... then to Solihull Technical College... I attended Lyndon High School for Girls in the 70's. I know he lives on Meriden Rise...... I left England in 1976 to come to Canada....I would love to contact him via e-mail...
If anyone knows or can help me find him I will be eternally grateful.
Janet Davis

Hello. Went to Lyndon school. Left about 1972. Hung around with Colin Norman.Kevin Patterson.Paul Stokes.(You still owe me a pound Stokes!) Are the police still looking for you? Paul once threw a terd onto the ceiling in the lav, it defied gravity as mr Carter the head teacher berated us for being inside the school. Is he still alive? I can still Remember Keith Fellows/Lovegrove/D.Bates/Roy Harris/O,Grady/Snotty Smith/Wookey (It was Colin norman and me who nobbled your bike and nicked your sandwiches) Good and bad memories. It took me a long time to forgive Brian O'Grady for pushing some excrement into my face! I bet you're all looking a little....worn round the edges now.  All the best. Live in Dorset now.Three children, married to the same woman since 1983 after leaving the forces.
Richard Mosley (Lampost/Mose or Dick)

Finding this site has brought back some memories. I was there in a previous life till about 1972. I remember having great laughs but not learning a lot. I remember names like Alan Bradford (now A&B Decorating I believe) Pete Goodwin (PC Goodwin - sheep-clothing-wolf springs to mind) Graham Jones, Kenny Davis, Richard Ludgrove (infamous), SS Uganda cruise, Mr Chadderton, Mr Poole, Mr jenkins(3 of the best - not the teachers that's what Mr Jenkins gave me for getting my Maths wrong), Keith Seargent fighting with Mr Jenkins during the Boys v Teachers rugby match, David Earp, Howard Bednall, Stephen Freeland, Geoffrey Richards, Nigel Sterenburgh, Thomas Rowson, Geoff Povey, Steven Wilkes, Stephen Myatt, Denise someone (first snog), Kevin Patterson, Paul Mudd, Kevin Mudd, Gary Wookey, Alan Hull (a.k.a. Al Ashton of London's Burning fame), Mark Green( maybe the one also mentioned in another note - did you have a younger sister?) .. any many more. Good luck to you all and thanks for the memories.
Keith Fellows

Hi, I am looking to locate some "old" friends from the Solihull area, I started my schooling at Valley Road Infants school in 1961, went to Hatchford Brook 1963-1967, then I failed my 11 plus (no new bike!) and went to Lyndon High School for boys 1967-1972. I completed 1 year at Solihull Technical College. While I was going to school, I worked at Ray Hitchcocks sports shops, both the one in High Street, and the one next to Beatties. I then worked at Beatties until I emigrated to Canada in 1975. I lived the whole time in Windsor Drive, and was part of the Windsor Drive Five, consisting of myself, Stephen Lewis, Stewart Jackson, Leslie McCoy, and Nick English. we got into many scrapes together, and had a couple of visits from the local constabulary. Its tough to remember names from that far back, but I seem to remember another boy in my class with the same name as me, we were identified by our middle initials, Mark F, and Mark J, I also remember a Carolyn Grey, who used to live on Dovehouse Lane, I think, and a Martin Greensmith. At Lyndon I had Mr Armstrong ( we called him legweak ) and Mr Dibble for technical drawing, remember his nose, we used to duck whenever he came around the corner so it wouldn't hit us!! I was madly in love with a girl named Pamela Watson, her mom ran a hair stylists on Old Lode Lane. I have very fond memories of my times in Solihull, and would love to get back in touch with some of the people. I now live in the U.S.A. and dont get much of a chance to get back there. By the way, does anyone remember the "Catains Locker" pub. it was down some stairs in the High Street, they had the best chip buttie I ever ate. So, if you were at those schools at the same time, or remember me from Rays, or Beatties, or even the A.T.C. on Haslucks Green Rd, please send me an e-mail, I would be thrilled to hear from you. Also if John from 492 Squadron A.T.C. reads this, please write me again, one of my kids erased your e-mail, and I could not reply. I hope to hear from someone soon, and remember Up the Blues, Down The Villa !!!
Mark Green

1960's/1971  Margaret and Julie Webber, Jackie Field, Beverley Stansfield, Valerie Harper, Jill Eastfield (Keith Fellows) Mrs Harrison (head) Mrs H? teacher  Cruise 1971 March SS Uganda. Things remembered.

Terry Smith

1960's

Hi, I went to school with Susan Ainge, Jill Moore, Val Smith, Kathryn Gardner in the 60s.  After living in CA for nearly 30 years, I have retired to France (I use the term retired pretty loosely!).  Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me.  I am also on Facebook (Kingston, Ontario network).  I remember Mrs Tucker, Miss Harrison, Mrs Worth, Miss Collins (who terrorised running down corridors) and I went on to a secretarial course at Solihull College. 
Sue Talbot

Linda (Pinfield) Copper

I left Lyndon in 1970 - loads of teacher's names: Mr. Beale, Legweak, Clark, Carter, Chez Chilton, Dibble, 'Want a lollipop sonny' Shutz; amazing how you lose touch.  Now in sunny Milton Keynes and can be found on Facebook.  It would be interesting to hear from anyone.
Alan Hodgetts

I went to  Lyndon road school from about 1962 - 1966. Went to school at same time as  Kathryn Wilde, Dorothy Bridgins, Susan Lipet, Maralyne Reeves, Silvia Giles.  Was there then when Miss Collins(Deputy Head)was there. Does anyone know or keep in touch with any of these girls from that time?
Christina Heath (Booth)

I was at Lyndon school from 1962 to 1966 class 1c-4c I wonder if anybody remembers me also my brother Alan class 1c-4c 1964-1968 and before that at Chapel Fields. I wonder if anybody remembers Mr Spencer (music) and the slipper! would be nice to here from anybody from that time.
John Roberts

I attended Lyndon High School (for Girls as it was then) in the 60's.  Miss Wright was headmistress and Miss Collins (who took us for needlework) was deputy.  I remember spending over a year doing cross stitch making our aprons ready for domestic science lessons (which have always stood me in good stead - but didn't appreciate then) the next year! My best friend was Karen Bragg in the year above me and my class mates with Gillian King, Mavis Hewson and Christine Barnes. I went out with Ron Little and John Parry from the boys school. We had some times then didn't we?  Remember the 'bops' at the school - great days!
Jill Bayliss (nee Stace)

I was at Lyndon for a short time around the years 63/64, what I really like about it was how close it was to our house (Melton Ave) after 4 years of slogging it all the way to Chapel Fields, Lyndon was a result!!! Now living in Turkey and loving it, enjoy life everyone.

I attended Lyndon from 1963 to 1968.  Finished in 5t in Mrs Tuckers Class.  I went on to Solihull Tech to get my O and A Levels and then to Sheffield Uni.  I lived and worked in Yorkshire for 10 years before returning to Brum in 1981.  In 1987 we went to live in Frankfurt for a year, after which i returned to do my MBA at Aston.  !n 1990 we went to live in the south of France for a year.  Eight weeks back in England before emigrating to Australia.  I often think about friends at school and what they are doing now.  I wonder what ever happened to Miss Collins and Miss Harrison. Do any of you remember going on a joint school trip to Swizterland? I really regret never being given the opportuniy to do languages at school.  It certainly would have helped me in later life.  I think if i had been given any decent career guidance i would have taken quite a different path in life

I was at Lyndon between 1964 and 1968. The Lyndon experience, as I remember it was mainly a preparation for employment in the local industrial economy. In the city of a thousand trades, I left Lyndon with a thousand opportunities. However, the Goddess Fortune had made other plans for me. For, it seems that manual work is not my forte.  My thousand opportunities were transformed into a thousand prohibitions by disability.  On the eve of this great awakening to the fickleness of Fortune, my life changed. I went to a very rare adult college called Fircroft. Fircroft College is one of the Selly Oak Colleges, affiliated to Birmingham University. It is six months older than Birmingham University. It was founded by George Cadbury in 1909. As I understand things, Fircroft was based upon the Danish Folk High Schools of the nineteenth century. As I understand things, Fircroft's mission was to further the cause of education and of intellectual and spiritual fellowship amongst working folks. I graduated from Fircroft to Birmingham Polytechnic (University of Central England) in 1988. I passed an entrance examination to read for an honours degree in English.  Disability prevented me from completing this degree course. The Fircroft experience prepared adults for life beyond the local industrial economy. It gave me a foundation for a disabled life without work.  Fortune reappraised my situation and put me in touch with a private tutor. My private tutor has persevered with the obstacles thrown up by my disability. For the last four years, I have been a successfully published author. My creative work has been published by Pinpoint Magazine. Pinpoint Magazine is published by Disability West Midlands. Their website address is http://www.dwm.org.uk. There is a link for Pinpoint Poetry which leads to a short list of published authors.

I left Lyndon in 1961 and was in 4G. I would love to contact anyone from that period who remembers me from that year or before. Been a long time so would be interesting to know where everybody ended up.
Roger Horton

I was a Lyndon from 64 -69 when I left to work for Land Rover as an apprentice. I had a brief flirtation with the music business in the mid 70's to early 80's and still play in a couple of bands. I recently married for the first time and now have a son, we still live locally. I remember some of the people from my years  at Lyndon and would love to hear from anyone who remembers me or those day.
Chris Gill

I left Lyndon Boys in 1969 with six CSE's and an 'O' level (do they still have those?) My fortunes have faired well since then and after Jobs too numerous to mention I now find myself teaching English (which I was crap at in school) and Drama to high school kids. I now live in Sydney, Australia and am still passionate about sport - I HATE it! I still have my Speech Day booklet with a list of my peers though these days there are gaps in the old memory. I even have the words to the school song....'We build our school on thee our Lord...' The list has hepled me shape a few 'memoirs' I am committing to paper. I recall Mr Carter in his black gown (Batman), Armstrong (Legweak), Mr. Dibble, Mr.Jennings (Maths), Mr. Smith (woodwork), Mr CLarke (science) Mr. George (maths), Mr.Waters (PE!) Mr Bennett (PE) Mr Hankinson (geog) and Mr Berry (RE). I guess there are others I remember but that will do for now. Look forward to any contact with old colleagues who left about the same time! My sisters also attended Lyndon so I will be happy to pass on any messages. Jackie Field left in '71 and Maxine about four years later. This is a great idea, sorry I cannot make the reunion.
Des Field

Attended Lyndon High School for Girls in the 60s.  Now back living in Solihull after living in Guernsey and Reading. Married with two sons, aged 25 and 23. Does anyone remember Miss Marshall (music), Mrs. Tucker (how I dreaded maths lessons!), Mrs. Worth, Miss Willoughby and the art teacher whose name I can't remember but sadly died of cancer. Would love to hear from class mates - Susan Ainge, Kathryn Gardner, Val Smith, Stella Richardson, Christine Shotton, Linda Trevelyan, Ann Woodward.
Jill Moore

I was in classes 1a to 5a,1965 to1970 and would much like to meet old class-mates for a jaw about old times and compare beer guts and bald heads!
Andrew (Andy) Bent

I attended Lyndon from 1964 to 1968 and would like to hear from anyone who was in 1C-4C.
Melvyn Jones

I was at Lyndon High School for boys between 1963 and 1968. I was previously at Chapelfields Junior and before that Daylesford.  I have only just discovered this website and would love to hear from anybody that remembers me. I was then about 6'4" and 10 stone dripping wet. I'm still about 6'4" but alas have long left behind a maximum weight of 10 stone.  I still live locally and have many happy memories of Mr Hankinson's reminiscences of Burma, Mr Dibble's precise technical drawing, Mr Davis' crazy driving of the school bus and a couple of wicked trips to Switzerland when we were joined with Lyndon Girls School.  Other names that come to mind, Mr & Mrs Bull, Mr (Legweak) Armstrong, Mr Bassett, Mr Schultz, Mr Maker & Mr Maker, 'Sam' Carter (Head), Mr 'Clicker' Clarke and  I'm sure many others whose names will come back to me when prodded.
My only claims to fame during my time at Lyndon were getting the whack in the playground in front of the whole school on my first day by Mr Dibble (for moving after the whistle sounded), having a bit of success throwing the discuss and ending up as Head Prefect (totally unjustified).
Pupils names that come to mind are Stephen Wilkes, Stephen Stokes, Robert Neale, Stuart Owen and Stephen Jones. I look forward to hearing from anybody from this era.
Andrew Green

I just discovered your website. I attended the school from about 1963 until 1967 at which time I graduated with CSE and some 'O' level GCE courses. My family and I immediately emigrated to Canada. I am currently living in St. Thomas Ontario and would love to hear from some of my old classmates. Here are some of their names: Geoff Clarke, Steve Newman, Chris Surrey, Anthony James, Paul Humphreys.
I still have my program folder for "Speech Day" held on Thursday October 26th, 1967.
John R. Edwards

Ann Saddington (nee Docker) and Roy Saddington attended Lyndon from 1960-1965. Married March 1969. We have two children and two grand children and have lived in Canada since 1977. Would like to hear from anyone still alive!
Roy & Ann Saddington

John Stubbington

Have just come across your website and oh how it brought back memories. I attended Chapel Fields School from 1950 to 1957 then on to Lyndon High School for Girls (as it was called at that time) the to Sutton Lodge (now Solihull Technical College I think. Does anyone know where Ann Saunders, Jayne Taylor, Alison Phillips, Norma Chambers might be. (probably different surnames).  I remember biking Hobs Moat and walking along the canal banks, bluebelling in spring.  Will be back April 2001 - Now live in Winnipeg, Canada.
So many of us move away but retain such good memories.
Does anyone know where Howard Shaw might be?
Brenda Guttridge

I would love to hear from anyone who attended (what was then) Lyndon High School for Girls/Boys during the period 1958-1963. And those who remember Friday nights at Lyndon Youth Club! 
Lorna Quorn

I was at Lyndon from '57-'61. Was always up to something dodgy but enjoyed every minute!
I remember when we bought our first school bus, a real old banger from Midland Red. It got painted in a lilac colour. Never knew why. We took a trip to London in it once down the M1 which had not been open very long, but we were still the slowest vehicle on the motorway. Our destination was the Houses of Parliament and then the Tower of London. Does anyone out there remember that one or me even?
My two best mates were Roger Smith who went to work at the council offices, and Jennifer Holland, my first passion.
Robin Woodcock

I didn't go to Lyndon, I was a Lode Heathian, but I have fond memories of two things from my association with the school in the late 50's, the hard fought games of rugby and my first love. I wonder what June Burrows is up to these days. She had a twin sister, Ann who also went to Lyndon left around 1960/61.
Trevor Jones

Just interested to hear from anyone who remembers me. Particularly keen to find out whatever happened to Michael Hayes, Kathryn Jones, Adrian Moyens and, of course, Alison Henry.
Matt Swoffer

I'm posting this on behalf of my brother Martyn Welch, as he doesn't have handy access to the 'net. He's expressed a desire to reacquaint himself with his good mate Graham Hopton. They went to Lyndon School, about '58/59. Graham lived on Scott Rd in Olton, about a dozen houses down from us, I think they were also at Chapel Fields together. If anyone knows of Graham it would be great to surprise my brother with the info. Cheers, Richard Wilford
Martyn Welch c/o Richard Wilford

I transferred to Lyndon High School for Boys from Turves Green Sec. Mod. in late 1957. I was in 4G and then into the 5th year and left in July 1959. The head was Mr J. Moore, and I had Mr. Dibble for Tech. Draw., Mr. Hankinson for Geography (and others), but do not remember the teacher for Maths or Science. Best subjects, Tech Drawing (top of the class) and Maths. Worst subjects Music, History and Art. Liked playing hockey and cricket, hated the cross country running we were forced to do in the most horrible weather. Remember, 1) a guy called Peter who was a diabetic and had to weigh out all his food, 2) The art class where someone did a superb drawing of "The Flying Purple People Eater", 3) Jubblies, 4)The no-mans-land boundary between the boys and girls playgrounds, 5) Maureen Deakin, 6)falling off my bike on the way to school one morning, spending the whole day at Solihull Hospital and arriving back at school at 3.30 with my left arm plastered straight, and many more. If anyone remembers the session we had at the end of the 5th year playing Buddy Holly, Connie Francis, and Elvis then get in touch.
Anyone from that time in 4G or the 5th in '59 please send me an email
Philip Mudd

I left Lyndon School in July 1957. I now live in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and would like to contact anyone from that era. I will be in UK (Stratford area during December)
