I was a pupil at Windsor School 1958/59.
My house was Balmoral, and my house number B99.
I would be very interested to receive any relevant information from that period.I have happy memories of that time, and recall especially the wonderful meals provided.I also recall seeing the latest films in the school hall. Recall of lessons not so good, so obviously I enjoyed the leisure times more! Thank you in anticipation.

just found the site! i was wondering if the school was still operational? I've found the answer on this site.Cannot remember most of the names of my friends.I recognised some of the names on the members list, but all were in years above me.The only name i saw whom i related to was Marcus Ball. I remember him being a 'Day Boy' and also his father teaching me. I have just noticed another name 'Mike Ore',we both played football together. On the subject of football, i would like to mention that i played for the school team for each year i was a student.I was also a member of the group of boys that played 'a sponsered 24hr 5 a side football.This was to raise funds for a 'football and basketball tour to Doncaster'. On the tour we all went to Leeds Utd's ground.Had a great time. Anyone else remember? please let me know. I would like any other info that may be of interest for the time i was a student in Sandringham hse. I will be 42yrs old this year. What about a great housemaster 'Mr Ramsdale'

Message for James Bennett - M63-68

Hi James, I remember you in Marlborough, we both played in the house and school junior football teams together. I remember you were a great dribbler and would never pass the ball!! I eventually joined the RAF and had a full career. I am now retired and living in France.

Be great to here from you again.

About old exam certificates - at the Girls' School, it was the London board - this now falls under Edexcel (Edexel?) - they should be able to reissue old certificates. Information on the QCA website, I believe. Good luck! I can't believe you don't have your certificates in an old envelope gathering dust at the bottom of the cupboard, like I do ~

I wonder what happened with the boards we used to have up in the Assembly Hall foyer, with all the names of the pupils, and the O and A levels they had achieved?

Best wishes Pam

(who remembers Chris Bennett - she was in the chapel choir with me at
one time - please send her my best wishes, bro's Ralph and Jimmy)

Hi Willie. It appears edexcel don’t re-issue actual certificates anymore but will give you a certifying statement for the small cost of £30. You can get the form on their website.

I’ve still got my CSE & GCE certificates from ’75, do you know any good forgers?

Hello to Ralph and James Bennett. How could we ever forget you!! On your message you mentioned a name I have often wondered about - Paul Clay! I have not heard or seen him since 1969! I live north of Boston in the US. Last summer Paul Sayers and Bob Young visited me. We talked about "the good old days"! How is Gerry Mills and whatever happened to Mike Waters? I hope one day to attend a reunion.

Michael Downey (M65-68)

Hello Michael Downey,I met Paul Sayers at a re union and he told me of your success in the USA as a tennis coach,is that right? I vaguely remember you could swing a racket.Well done mate.

Paul Clay lives near Peterboro'......he worked for Umbro for years and is now semi retired working only when the mood takes him selling expensive country wear like wellie boots.The rest of the time he plays golf with a handicap of 2.Gerry Mills is a painter decorator,self employed in Hadleigh Essex whilst Mike Waters joined the Met Police in about 1968/9..I met him once in London with Gerry but have not heard from him since.I think he got thrown out for selling hooky cigarettes..something he picked up from George Squires ?

I hope you are well and if you do come to a re union I will see you there.
