2000's

Ruckleigh is a good school!I was a pupil at Ruckleigh from 2002 to 2006! I absolutely loved it right to the the very end! I often think about the good times I had there and how the whole of year 6 cried at the last and how sad we were when said our goodbyes!

I attended Ruckleigh from I think 1992 to 1999. I then went to Edgbaston High School for Girls, and am still there now, sitting my A2 exams. Over the years I've managed to keep in and out of touch with several people. At the moment I'm very good friends with Sarah Boyle & Richard Brown and speak to them quite often. Recently I've been trying to 'track down' old friends, and started a Ruckleigh Group on MySpace.com . I hope by doing this it helps all of us to keep in contact with each other a bit better! If in anyone wants to get in contact, please do! xXx

1970's

I was at Ruckleigh School between 1979 to 1983 when Birmingham City was not doing so well. I now work in the NHS in Cheltenham. I am keen to hear from any students and staff at that time. I had some good friends, especially Asoka and Nell Macdonald. Remember those parties. I don't still have my old school uniform, except my cap, which never fitted then.

1960's

I attended Ruckleigh School 1965-1968 starting at "Little Ruckleigh" on Warwick Road and then transferring to Lode Lane.  I remember Mrs Service with great affection and Mrs Hall and Mrs Packwood who taught at Lode Lane. Still in touch with Karen Parker and other people I remember include Kim Weatherhead, Claire Godrey, Clare Ball, David Crowdy to mention a few.  I am now teaching Speech and Drama at the school which is great.  Would love to hear from any contempories.  I wonder who still remembers the General Knowledge questions every week and Mrs Carr-Smith's table tests!? I used to live in Buryfield Road when I was a pupil at the school.  Now live with husband and family in Stratford upon Avon.
Sally Gray (nee Shepherd)

I was a pupil at Ruckleigh from 1964 to 1966 while my father was posted to Dunlop in Birmingham. I have very happy memories and would love to hear from any students and staff at that time. One of my favourite teachers was Mrs Gaskell and my best friend was Simon Derby. We lived at 185 Station Road Knowle and returned to Australia in 1966. I am now a solicitor in Melbourne, Australia. I still have my old school uniform.

Happy days! Yes - I do remember Gillian Penzer and know she is in Stratford. So glad to be in touch again Gillian. I too remember Joe Bunch, Valerie Hurst, Ann Fletcher, David Cross, Paul Fellows, Vera Norris, Helen Grove, Wendy Thompson and Wendy McDonald, Claire Kirk, Jenifer Clews, Eileen Purden, John Stratford, Naseem Khan, Pauline, Anne and Derek Wilshire, Marie-Ann Wreford and David Carr-Smith (Mrs Carr-Smith's son and former H.M.of Ruckleigh.) My Mama, Mrs Clarke, was teacher in charge at the "little Ruckleigh" and many of we girls went on to Malvern Hall together. My oldest and closest friend is Sue Longley now in Sussex and I see her regularly. I have a good many photographs and when my computer is behaving itself properly I will post them up!   Are you all really as old as I am or have you mysteriously stayed as young as I remember you? We really should have a reunion. What about it? 65 years is a long time!  Love to you all, Roma.

I started school at Ruckleigh in 1942 & left in 1950. Have often wondered what became of some of my old friends. Joe Bunch, Roma Clark, Susan Longley, Valerie Hirst, Sue Wootton, Anne Fletcher. The teachers at the time were Mrs. Clarke, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs Deeley, Mrs Boocock. The head teachers were Mrs/ Carr-Smith & Mrs/ Dennett later to become Mrs/ Belgrave. I used to live in Broadoaks Rd. I now live in Stratford upon Avon.

I and my sister were at Ruckleigh school in, I suppose, 1940 when Miss Cartland was headmistress. I still have a school photo and can remember the names of several pupils on it.
