Hi

I was at Kingswear School from April 1938 until July 1944 having been born in Kingswear.

I left sometime after the Secomd World War to live with my mother Edna Short but returned for all the school holidays as my gran and my extended family still lived in Kingswear.

I trained as a Motor Mechanic, joined the RAF got married and we have Lived in North Devon for the last 33years. We often visit Kingswear as we still have friends in the area.

For some reason we missed the 100 year Celebrations of the school or would have liked a look around.When is the next one?

I loved this school. It was fun!

The wife was delighted to see Kingswear on the internet. She was a pupil at the school many years ago.She is now age 77, and living in Perth Australia. I met her when I was in the Royal Navy in 1950, and we have been together ever since. Enjoyed watching, keep up the good work.By the way the wife was Pat Satchell before we married in 1952.

I attended kingswear school in 1940 to about 1945, when I and my family were evacuated to there fropm London. We then lived a 2 Agra Villas. It was a great school then as well. (no website, television or anything new fangled like that). I now live in Exminster Nr Exeter and although I have visited kingswear I have have never visited the school but I promise, God willing, to do so in 2008. (If I can climb the hill?)

Wow fancy Kingswear school having its own web site. I attended there from approx 1943-1945, under the tuition of Miss Haywood. I lived at the Steam Packet Inn, Fore St. during and immediately after the war. Living now and for the last 30 years in Sydney Australia. If anyone can remember me please drop me a line at gentleman_jim34@yahoo.com.au

I use to go this school when Mr Bunce and Mr Simpson were there. I used to know Mark and Matt Brooke.
Hallo to Mark Setters. Do you remember Alice and Holly? You can contact me on wurly2009@yahoo.co.uk

I am a year 5 child at Kingswear School and I think:

Mr Oakshott is funny and is good at teaching and being a good headmaster!

Mrs Rhys-Jones I think you are excellent at teaching languages and science!

Ms Albon is good at teaching music!

I'm not quite sure how I got here, but Mark Oakshott used to teach me back in middle school we were his first class in year 5. I still remember what an amazing teacher he was and his motto too....work hard play hard.
Thank you.

Matt Setters. I left Kingswear in '99. I think you were in my year!!!

I really enjoyed the start of my education at Kingswear during 1949/55 went on to Dartmouth and Churston Grammars, became a Bank Manager with Nat West and have spent all my married life since 1967, with Joyce in Bournemouth, with 2 sons at JP Morgan. So glad to hear educations standards are still high in Kingswear!

hi i love the school
i am in yr 6 and still go there now
thnx to all the teachers

You are an amazing school

Hey I went to this school back in the day late 90's I think my head teachers when I was there were Mr Bunce and then Peter Simpson

How lovely for my old school to have its own website. I attended Kingswear Primary from 1939-1945. Am now living with my husband Peter in Queensland Australia and we still love to keep up with all that is happening in my birthplace. Quite a few of Kingswear Primary old pupils live in Australia and it is great to share memories with them.. We all studiously search the Kingswear website and all that it offers. The website is a credit to all involved..not least Michael Stevens..

It is great to see the old place still going, I like your web site very much. My family and I went to school at Kingswear a long time ago now. I have some fond memorys of then. I write poetry now and work as a gardener in Buckfastleigh, but it is nice to look back. Good luck in all that you do.

The teachers at Kingswear School produce the most friendly and well adjusted confident children. The school has a wonderful happy atmosphere, where the youngest children play hand in hand with the junior children.
Well done to all the staff.

My name is Barry Westacott and I went to Kingswear School in 1939/41. Miss Haywood was the school head at that time. I would like to meet anyone who knows me from that time. I live in Nijmegen, Holland. My email address is B.Westacott@kpnplanet.nl

Thank you so much Ms Albon for all you have done for my children, working them hard, manners. In all, thank you for your main interest in educating the children. I could go on, my kids have not had a bad word about you, they respect you, and they believe you should achieve a medal.
Thank you again,

Jani
