Introduction

In 2012, St Michaels celebrates 150 years of continuous service to our community. This is a huge achievement and we believe that it is the oldest primary school in the area. This site has been set up by the current head to allow the widest possible interaction by current and past members of the school, be they ex-pupils, staff, governors or members of the local community.

We want to share your tales, your reminiscences, your funny stories of your time at St Michaels. If you have old class photos, we'd love to see them, and share them on this site.

The site, at www.stmichaels150.blogspot.com, is open for you to add your memories, your stories of your time at the school. Please add your stories to the comments on any of the existing articles.  We encourage past pupils, past staff to contribute their humorous tales of their time at our wonderful school. Old class photos will be especially welcomed. It would help if you start your entry with your name and the years you were associated with the school.   If you have an older relative, friend or neighbour who attended the school, then perhaps you could gently nudge them to provide directly or indirectly their memories.

For those devoted to social network sites, an alternate method of adding your memories can be found by searching facebook for ‘st michaels 150’. You have to be logged in to facebook to carry out  a search. We’d love to hear from you.

Please note that the minimum age for a facebook account is 13. At St Michaels , we take our responsibilities seriously and actively discourage any current pupils from using social networking sites. We will therefore be making provision, closer to the 150^th celebrations in March 2012 , for our current pupils, as a class activity,  to share their thoughts on school life.

If you’d rather send your reminiscences or photos via email, then they can be sent to a special email address,  stmichaels150@gmail.com  It may take a few days before your tales appear on the site.

Finally, for those who would rather send their stories/photos by mail, then please address them to The Secretary, St Michaels CofE Primary School, Lower Church Road Sandhurst GU47 8HN. Please mark the envelope with 150^th Memories. Please supply a return address for photos. The school will then arrange for the photos to be scanned and returned.
