Hello, I just wanted to write a comment about St Mary's. My son has been with you since April this year (2007) After having a terrible time at his old school he has come on leaps and bounds with you and I'm very proud of him. Thank you to all the teaching staff for making us feel welcome at your school and for showing my son that not all teacher's are ogre's! Again, thank you. Happy holidays...see you all in September.

I would just like to thank everyone invoved with the year 6 trip to Bath, especially all those who helped to make Natasha's birthday so special. Thanks for all the cards , presents and especially the cake.

I loved st mary's, it was sooo sad to leave! i miss everyone!

Hi to everyone at St Mary's..The web site looks great.My son and I like to visit the site to see whats new.We will be coming to Kelvedon next April from the states.I would love to show my son my old school.

It's exciting to find this website. I moved away from Kelvedon when I was four to the States. We moved back when I was seven and I went to school at St. Mary's. My cousin's attended the school (Paul and David Hollick). This would have been in the 70's. I remember walking over to the outdoor pool to swim. Another time I was visiting the indoor pool was built. It was a great experience that I'll always remember. We moved back to the States, but I've visited numerous times. I now live near Bellingham, WA (north of Seattle).
My uncle "Curly" Stephen Hollick was part of the Feering Cricket Club.
So exciting!!!!

Thanks guys for all the great comments about our school! You are all fab! Keep up the hard work!!

Kelvedon St Mary's has been a fantastic school and still is. I have been here since reception and have loved every bit. All the staff here are great in helping me get a healthy education and making school extra fun so that children actually want to come! I will be leaving to go to Honywood but will come back to vist, although I'm leaving the memories will stay with me forever I just hope it will still be around when I have kids so that they can have the greatest education ever if not I'll just just tell them about all the embarssing stuff the teachers have done ( MR MURRELL!)! But I have still got alot if time left so I have to make the most of it !!!!!!! c ya kirstie parker

altough i am leaving to go to thurstable at the end of this year i will always remember everyone in my class and every teacher i have ever had (even if they've left now!) I'd also like to say thanks to Mr. brace for being great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelvedon Was Soo Cool, N Now Im In Year 9 Of Honywood Nd Making All These Changes Its When You Apreciate How Things Used To Be Back In The Good Old Days. Miss Kelvedon Soo Much, Want To Come Back x

mrs aird is FAB

Dear All,
Reading all the comments below makes me feel really old. I left St Mary's in 1993 when I was in Year 4 to move to Surrey. I am still up here, but will always think of Kelvedon as home. I'm working in a good job now, and got some great results in my GCSE's and A-Levels, and that is definitely down to my education in early years, so to all at St Mary's school- thankyou.
I am saddened to hear Mrs Milton will be retiring in September, but like all of you on here, I am sure she was a very influential factor on your schooling at St Mary's, so I wish her well for all she does in her future.

Hi, I went to your school in the 70's . I also went to the school when it was located
on the High Street. I remember how excited I was when the new school was being
built. I now live in USA . Your web site allows me to visit home. By the way I grew up on
St Mary's Rd and my parents still live there. Great web site!!!!!!!!!

Hi, i go to Kelvedon st marys and it is great there. The sports after school and in school are great fun. The teachers there are fantastic because they make learning so much fun. Please join the school you will settle in so quickly you would think that you have always been going there.

I just want to say thanks to Miss Sewell and Mrs Atkinson for making my lessons so fun!

I'm impressed with the website! We never had one in my day. I'd just like to wish all my previous teachers good luck for the future and to thank them for being great teachers. Thanks! Megan xxx

Thankyou for our great experience at kelvedon st marys primary school and I am very pleased to hear about the new ICT room.

Hi my name is Richard I used to be at this school but left in 1993 aged 5 when I left to move to Surrey. I am trying to track down any old school mates from this year Richard Hattley

Hello! Just to say this is such a cool website and it is nice to see pics of the current students!!!!!

Seeking sight of the weekly newsletter that didn't make it home last week (!) I turned to the website today for the first time. I really must congratulate Michael Hopper and all the contributors on a super site. Very easy to navigate, and full of positive and useful information. I have instantly added it to my list of 'favourites'. Well done also to Mr Brace and all the staff and pupils on the superb results announced this week. We always knew St Mary's was a great place for our sons to attend, and this makes it 'official'!

I love this site I can remember all of my good times at St Marys and all of my friends and teachers and not forgetting the best of all Mr Brace, I really miss you all and love looking at the web site with my Mum and Dad, I wish I was still there to see the new computor room and be able to use it after all that building work I watched going on, I have shown my new frinds at school this site on the internet during the wet break times and they can't believe how big my old school was as we only have 2 classrooms and 56 pupils. Can you put some more pictures on so I can show them my friends and Mr Brace, as I miss you all. i will keep looking.

I would like to mention that my granddaughter Sally Agomber recently moved to kelvedon and is now a pupil at your school. I must say how very quickly she has
settled in and is very happy in her new enviroment. I live in Waltham Abbey Essex, andit is nice to know how happy she is Thanks

Hi Mr Taylor thanks to you I'm in the team with Manchester United Football Schools of Excellence.

hiya really good photos
great style website hi all the teachers from an old pupil

Hi the school changed a lot after I left for Honywood.

Hiya People! Remember me? Josie Thorogood My last year at Kelvedon In 6N?! I hope everyone at Kelvedon is getting on well. Thought I would drop by to say Hi! and I did! Im just about to do my Year 7 Exams as well as everyone else at Honywood. Doing fine if you wanted to know! Sorry but I havn't had a chance to drop in and say Hi with everyone, but do pass this on to other teachers!! Thanks :)

I think the school is very well cared for, my daughter goes and is in year 6 and she hasn't had any bad comments to say about the school

Just thought you'd like to know that your web site is viewed as far away as Kuwait. It is well designed and very informative giving a good insight to my son's school. If any of the classes are covering any aspects of the Middle East in their studies and I can be of any help please feel free to get in touch. Kind Regards David Williams
