Hi to all our Ex Students!

Welcome to the website, we are sure you will find lots of interesting stuff to read. Follow the links on the homepage or take a look at the Archive section to see what we have been up to. If you left school within the last four or five years you may even find pictures of yourself. We try not to delete any of our major articles as we feel that they may be of nostalgic interest in a few years' time. Also, at the top of the page, in case you didn't notice, there are links to pictures from the reunion dinners held every year at christmas time.

We have found that the most popular way of keeping in touch is to put an entry in our guestbook and leave your email address. If you browse down the list we are sure you'll find some old friends.

We are now starting to use newsletters more to keep in touch, so sign up here if you would like to recieve news of the old school and notification of forthcoming events.

There is also a nice site called http://www.friendsreunited.co.uk which specialises in just this sort of thing. Navigation to our school is a bit long winded but keep plodding through the menus to the UK overseas section and you'll find it eventually. Once you have registered and have received the 'cookie' you are taken straight to the school whenever you log on. Several of our ex students have already signed up and the list is growing. Registration is free at the first level but, when you want to get into the clever stuff, like sending emails, you have to pay five pounds a year. From what we have seen so far, nobody can access your actual email address, they can only send you an email using the system. This makes it totally useless to spammers as you have to send each email separately. There are bulletin boards of all kinds on the site and we shall be using them to announce events like the reunion dinner and other dates that may be of interest during the year. Later on we will look at a way of holding a secure database here that only registered members can access, but which we can use to keep you informed of what's happening.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Every best wish.

Maria Sutcliffe and Lesley Lawrence
