from Eleanor

Hi everyone,

I can't belive that we (year 6) are leaving in a few weeks. The last term is THE BEST term of year 6. We have the play and prom to look forward to. Thanks to Mrs Downes and Mr Stephens for all the hard work they are putting into for the play.

Saakshi

Hello!! :)! can anyone guess what play we are doing?? Except for the teachers!! Bye.
REPLY: Better keep it quiet girls so it's a surprise!

I would like to say a BIG Well Done to everyone in Class 7!
Your Class Assembly was absolutely brilliant - I was very proud of you all!!
From Miss B xx

Hey Baileys!!!
Wow it's been six years since I left the school so i doubt anyone will remember me! I remember all of you though! this site is amazing and it's nice to see that Bailey's is still just as fun and friendly as it was when I was here! I wonder if any teachers I knew are still there...Mr Telfar, Mr Stephens, Mrs Davey, Miss Legg, Miss Baker? Well I know Miss Hazell is all the way in New Zealand! Wow! hope everyone is having as much fun as i did in Bailey's Court!
REPLY: Mr Telfer, Miss Legg, Mr Stephens and Mrs Davey (who's now called Mrs Preedy) are all still here, and so is Miss Barnett. Nice to hear from you. Mr H

Hello from New Zealand !
I've just been looking at the website - as impressive as ever! Loved the 'Mr Tickle' animations, reading the messages and catching up with what you have all been doing! It's great to see 'old' Bailey's Courts names on the message board as well... Joe... Mr Higginson NEVER shouted because you ALWAYS did your homework :-)
Keep up the good work Bailey's Court and can one of you teach Mr Higginson and Mr Telfer to email.. I'm still waiting to hear from them!!!
REPLY: Wow - is that THE Miss Hazell of days gone by? Lovely to hear from you and we all hope you're doing well out there. It's nice to know you're still keeping an eye on us. Both Mr T and I have tried to send you countles messages but there's something about problems in the Middle East and messages getting intercepted! We'll keep trying though! Mr H

In year 4/5 we are doing Dragon's Den homework.
It's really cool. I'm doing research for mine in a few mins.
Gotta go
Gemma.
P.S. The shelter challange was fun - can we do one for homework!!!!!!!

Hi green area

from Henna & Maisie xx

Just looking on this site brings back loads of memories! I cant believe it was 6 years ago i was being shouted at by Mr Higginson for not doing my homework! :P Or sat around a fire on year 6 camp singing Will Youngs first ever single wih Mr Bowman playing guitar! Those were the days! Hope everyone is well and having a great time! Joe
REPLY: We're all glad you've got happy memories of your time here Joe! Nice to hear from you but did i really ever shout?!? Mr H

Hello class 7 and green area. I loved making the shelters for the test- (the best bit) and I like doing tennis at P.E. Missing Saniya loads.

" I know they are only 1 line parts but all the good parts are gone. Very sorry that all good parts are gone. Please conact me anyone who wants one of those parts

Hi everyone! Friday 1st February was awful. I'm talking about the vandalism. I can't belive people did that. It was awful. When I came into school on Friday, Mrs Vincent was standing on the corner and I saw nobody in Yellow Area. I thought the bell had already gone. Anyway, bye!

Hello I'm in year6! Just like to say Mr Higginson your class's show on Friday was really good and funny! When Krista had her dreadlocks and hat on and was dancing that was hilarious! I could imagine you doing that! Bye!
REPLY: Were all glad you enjoyed the assembly Briony - class 9 worked hard to put it together.
Believe me though - you wouldn't want to see me dancing! Mr H

We like it at this school

Jaimie

p.s pleaseeee reply please

Hi i'm Hannah. I'm having a good time in year 4 and have made lots of new friends in year 5. I am excited about our Christmas carol service. Bye for now Hannah.

Wow. Well now being 16 and in year 11, It has been absolutely ages since I was at Baileys! I have my GCSEs in June (fingers crossed) and am actually predicted all A's, B's and A*'s. Looking around the website it's clear that Bailey's has changed a lot since i was last there, 5 years ago ! I am still in touch with a few old friends and have made many more at Filton. Now, choosing what i want to take for A level, i cant help but think back to the days at Bailey's, mainly the year 6 leavers play ! Aladdin and the bath mat years ! Seriously insane! Me and a couple of friends were planning to come to the Christmas fair and just show our faces again, but we dont know when it is, so if you could let us know that would be fabulous. Anyways...hopefully we'll see you at the Christmas fair ! Becky Collins (now aged 16 ! can you believe it !)
REPLY: The fair is on Saturday 1st December so we'll see you there Becky!

I've really enjoyed year 6 so far, I thought it would be really hard and strict. Yr 6 camp was amazing. I thought I'd miss my parents loads but didn't, to be honest I didn't miss them at all. But (there's always a but in something) anyway I'm still scared about S.A.T.S. I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE PRIMARY EITHER I'M SCARED ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL. AAAAAAAAH.
REPLY: You don't need to worry about either SATs or high school, it's just the thought of something different but you'll soon get used to it!

Hey how's everything going? It's been a long time since I've been back in Bailey's Court, a great school though.
REPLY: Thanks Chelsea, It's nice that you have such good memories of us!

I like doing enrichment afternoon, and I like doing gym, art and social skills.
I like Mr Potter, he is brilliant, and Mr Higginson and Miss Barnett too.
Hello to everyone in class 7,8,9

This is the first time I have ever been on the Bailey's Court website - I love it
ha ha!!! See you at school .

I am enjoying school, it's my second year. Mrs Rogers is a great teacher and I hope to make even more friends. Thank you Mrs Rogers and Miss Mud you have made a great term for me and others. I hope term 2 is the same and I love school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Baileys Court Primary School. Amy Gibbs here. Just want to tell you I really miss you. Hope you're having a great time. Just want to say hello to Jessica Cherry, Hannah Pitt, Lauren Cole and Jessica Wallace. I am crying. Amy

I am having a lovely time in Keswick in my new school, St Herbert's school but I still miss my old school and my friends.
Last weekend we stayed at Mrs Vincent's house and had a sleep-over with other friends, we had an AMAZING time!!!!!!!!!!!!
REPLY: Lovely to hear from you Ross - we haven't been able to get onto the website for a while so that's why it's taken so long to put this on the site. We're glad to hear that everything's going well up there. Can you pass on our best wishes to Scott and the rest of your family.
Mr H and the rest of the staff

Hello,
It's the week after camp and year six are all very excited still!!!
We had a great time, but i feel very sorry for all the teachers that came with us! They must be very tired!

I am so proud to be a Bailey's Court pupil. I am now a year six. I am a bit scared but looking forward to SATs. Mrs Downes is my teacher and I am having a great time so far. I've just been on camp which was great fun. Anyway bye bye.
REPLY: It's great to hear so many positive comments from current and former pupils. We're glad you are proud of your school but we are also really proud to teach such a great bunch of children.
From all the staff.

Heya! How is everyone?
Hope you are all ok, we are all in year 11 now and being at Bailey's Court only seemed like yesterday. I have stayed in touch with most of my primary school friends and it would be great to speak to some more of my old friends who i haven't seen for years.

I LOVE SCHOOL. I LOVE BCPS. I LOVE IT!

Hey!!
Hope all the teachers are behaving themselves.
I cant believe I'm in year 11 now, I'm so scared cause I have got my exams in a couple of months.
I'll come to the school soon and see how everyone is!!

Bailey's Court Primary School is the best in the world. My teacher is Mr Higginson and he is funny sometimes. I'm also in class 9. My favourite subjects are Art, Numeracy and Literacy.
REPLY: We're all glad you are enjoying school so much Shelby!

Hi everyone,
Hows life back at Baileys Court? I left a fair while ago now, 2003, I was in the first year to go right the way through the school, and I'm now in year 11 at KLB (a school in Gloucestershire) and playing quite a bit of Rugby (after discovering it in the tag rugby in year 6-thanks Mr Higginson!) and now most of my spare time is spent is spent playing or watching it!
I am also enjoying my GCSE year (well... as much as possible) but i don't think it will ever match up to Baileys!
I'd just like to thank everyone who taught me while I was at the school, it looks like quite a few of the teachers are still there, Mr Bowman, Mr Higginson, Miss Barnett, Miss Hazell, Mrs Davey etc.
Was thinking the other day about some of the best times at Bailey's, year 6 camp and the prom probably stick out as some of the most vivid, along with Alex Pearces' and I memorable performance in the pantomime at the end of year 6.
Anyway, good luck to all,

Jack
REPLY: Nice to hear from you Jack - and good luck with your rugby! There have been a few changes though - Mr Bowman has moved on now and so has Miss Hazel - but the rest are here. Call in and see us some time?
Mr H

I used to go to Bailey's Court and thought it was a great school and I miss it! I would like to say hello to Miss Barrnett and all of my friends that are in year five.
Bye

Hi everyone, I am at Redland High School now and it's really fun, but we get loads of homework. My little brother is still at Bailey's Court but I wish I still was!

Hello everyone at Baileys Court I was looking on your website and think it is really good. I hope everyone is having a really good time at school!
Bye for now
REPLY: We're glad you enjoyed the website Rebecca - thanks for visiting it!

5-0 We beat St Michaels 5-0! What a game - well done COREY.H, NATHAN R, SAM M, SAM W, JORDAN B, MORGAN J, BILLY S, TITCH ME AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO MR WALTERS. HOPEFULlY, WE WILL WIN OUR NEXT GAME BECAUSE I THINK WE HAVE A VERY GOOD CHANCE! SORRY IF I FORGOT ANYBODY'S NAME!
REPLY: Thanks for that Matthew - keep giving your best and playing together as a team and you'll do us proud, whatever the result!

Hello everyone, time has gone so fast since I was there - a whole 3 years! I'm already in Year 9. I'm just writing here to say I hope Year 6 have fun with Sats (I'm doing my High School ones this/next year) and camp and I hope to see some of the Year 3 brownies - Hannah & Emily

I'm going to BSCS now - great school but I prefer the homework quantities back at Bailey's Court. It is great fun but the homework is loads and they're ment to go easy on us !!!!!!! Good luck to all the new yr6s - have a fabby year and work hard and don't let any of the teachers down! :)

Hi to everyone at Bailey's Court. Just started at BSCS and its fab!

NOONE WORRY ABOUT SATS, IT'S NOT ANY DIFFERENT TO YOUR NORMAL LESSONS, JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN. THAT'S ALL THE TEACHERS ASK!!!!!!!!!!!

We would like to ask whether it would be possible for you to have a reunion for the first set of people who came to the school when it was first opened.
Hope everyone is okay.

REPLY: What an interesting idea - I'll pass it on to the powers that be! Mr H

I'm scared about year 6 and S.A.T.S - it sounds hard and I'm scared about messing up BUT WE'VE GOT CAMP TO LOOK FORWARD TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REPLY: Don't be scared Wallis - I know that you will do your very best and that's the most anyone can ask. Look at it as a chance to show yourself what you can do.

Hi!
This website is GREAT! I'm going to year 6 after the summer holidays. I'm a bit nervous but excited. I'm really excited about camp but scared of SATS. I'm going to be in class 10 with Mrs Downes (my favourite teacher!). I was in her class in year 2 when I first came to this school, then I was in her class in year 4 and now in year 6! Going up in two's! I like this school and all the teachers are great! I'll miss Mr Bowman and Mrs Ford. I wish them good luck. I really miss Miss Walls and she was my favourite teacher but because she left it is Mrs Downes!

When do we go back to school?
REPLY: Look in the 'Calendar' section of the website - the dates are there - Mr H

Hello
I used to go to Bailey's Court and would like to say hello to all my friends that are going up to year 2!
Bye for now

Me and Daisy had a great time visiting our old school and we are having a great time at our new school. Hope all of the year 6's have a fab time at their new schools. Bye

Fabby school! Very sad leaving such a wonderful primary school - it was an honour to be there, thanks for the great time !

Hi everyone
The summer holidays have been great so far. On the 19th of August i'm going to Lyme -Regis for the day. Can't wait till we come back to school!

See you soon

Eleanor

BYE to everyone in year 4/5, have a good holiday weeks and the 3 days we have left . and of course everyone else in the school and Mrs Davey and Mr Telfer and all the teachers.

Love Mollie xxx

Enjoyed the class pages very much - good to get a flavour of what the children are up to. Could there be information on governors - ie a governors page with copies of published minutes?
Keep up the good work.
REPLY: We will look into it - thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Hope here,
So I was cheking out the website and thought i should leave a comment.
I hope you teachers who went camping had a great time.
i'm really eager to find out who my new teacher is.
Bye for now.
ps. Excuse my grammar Mr H.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr Bowman is a LEGEND, used to go to this school and he was my teacher in year 2 and was a teacher in one of the years 6 classes BEST TEACHER EVER GONNA MISS YOU WHEN YOU CHANGE SCHOOLS Good Luck!!!!!!!!

We had a really good time at the fair today, watching those sponges flying at the teachers......Mr H has definitely got a fan club.

I'm really sad I'm leaving Baileys Court I've had a great time and i won't forget anyone i know of. I do have some Muslim friends in Newcastle but i still want to stay here.
From Momin

Not bad website
REPLY: Thanks for your interest, Shadow.

Hi yr 3, I can't wait until our school trip!

I am starting at Bailey's Court in September 2007 and I can't wait!. I have seen my new teacher Miss Goold, She looks really nice. See you soon for my first visit in a couple of weeks.
REPLY: We're looking forward to seeing you too Ryan!

Hi yr 5 don't even bother thinking about worrying about S.A.Ts because it's better than normal literacy and numeracy and, even if you dont get the score you would have hoped to get, at the end of the day it's just words on paper and these tests won't make that much of a difference to your life. Like the teachers say, there are more inportant tests in years to come and with camp as a treat you'll be glad you did them anyway. Got to go now so bye (FOR NOW)
REPLY: That's right Courtney - SATs are a great chance to prove to yourself that you can work hard and make loads of progress, but they aren't anything to worry about. Mr H

My child is due to start school in Sept 2008. I wanted to clarify what Open Days are available at the school and when applications are due in.
REPLY: Applications for places in 2008 should be in by the end of October this year. Please contact the school office on 01454 866666 for details bout open days.

Hi everyone,
Can't believe I've already picked my GCSEs. It seems only yesterday when I was messing around on the trim-trail and playing the flag game (nothing beats the flag-game, even hockey and tennis and netball etc.)
REPLY: Nice to hear from you Ann - time flies doesn't it! Mr H

Hi, year 6 is great! Camp was the best part of year 6! Though I could have done without the sats boosters, but it's over now!!! The sats turned out to be alright after all. The sats boosters seemed to have dragged out a bit but now we've got all this knowledge in less than a school year! Good luck to all future year 6s!

Hi ! We are chilling in the hols, SATs came and went so dont worry about it if you still have it to come. It has been a great help with our teachers helping us so we want to give them a big thanks to Mrs Downes , Mr Stephens and Mr Telfer . Take it easy and good luck to future Yr6s !

Hi everyone.I was wondering if anyone from year 6 is coming up to Marlwood?
I'm having a great time at high school - hope to see some of you soon!
Bye

We're really enjoying year 5 next term is our last term of year 5 and then we're going into year 6 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah we're so nervous. I'll pass you over to Saakshi. We're very very very nervous to go into year 6 it will mean SATS aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
REPLY: Don't worry girls, It will be the best year of school so far (I'll ask you again in a year's time - I bet you that you'll agree)! Mr H

Hello Mr. H - please could you tell me what they are doing in the car park? It's just that I dont know what it is for but I do want to know. Thanks! From Briony
REPLY: I'm not exactly sure Briony, but I think they are building a new youth centre or community centre. Mr H

Why do the same people persist in parking their cars right at the school gates? I live 20 minutes walk away, yet still manage to get to school, and if I do drive, I make sure that I park my car well away from Breaches Gate. It is becoming dangerous walking into school now especially when I have more than one child to supervise!
REPLY: Thank you for voicing your concerns - we too are both worried and irritated by inconsiderate parking by a minority of parents. We cannot take any direct action ourselves but we are in constant contact with the police about the issue.

Hello everyone how are you. I'm doing very well in my new high school and I'm looking forward to seeing the year 5`s coming up bye bye xx

Hi folks! Just having a look at your website because I'm thinking of applying for a job here. If any of you can stop munching on your easter eggs for a moment I'd really like to know what you like most about your school.
Thank you.
P.S. Very impressive website.

I spent January through to Easter on a work placement in Bailey's Court school and I was treated with such respect. I definitely would go back there in future work placements.
REPLY: Thank you Sarah - We aim to please! It was a pleasure having you here.

Hi everyone at Baileys Court Primary. Just to say thanks for letting me accomplish a work placement at your school. Thanks for all the support you provided me with regarding college coursework. Special thanks goes to Miss Legg and Mr Walters as well as Miss Watson. It'll be a long time before I forget any of you.

Hey, Mr H you're reallly cool.
REPLY: I think you'll find quite a few people who would disagree with you there Warren! But thanks anyway. Mr H

Hey, to all children in year 1 + 2 +3+4+5+6. Remember that you're all the best ever. Love Sophie Farr x

I think this school is GREAT! I really like my teacher {Mr Higginson} and my year {5}. I really like this website.Thanks for the website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone. I was a student at Bailey's Court school five years ago. I am now in year ten so I doubt any of you will remember me. I was the crazy little ginger girl (well not much has changed there!)I just want to say what an amazing head teacher Mrs Davey was. I loved her so much and I have never met such a lovely person. By the sounds of things, the only teacher left who I know is Mr stevens. YOU TOLD ME OFF IN ASSEMBLY AND I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN THAT! he he. I still get told off for talking, and, if your still there, HELLO Miss Legg! Hope everyone at Baileys Court has as much fun as I had even though I never got to go on year six camp as I left in year five. Lots of love from Rosie x x x

I love being in Bailey's Court. It is an absolutely fantastic school, especially as my teacher is Miss Gooding. My brother loves school as well.

Hey everyone! Just thought I would go on the School Website to see what has been happening lately. Hey Mr. H why do you like to annoy Miss Barnett? Its funny though when you come in the class because the whole class goes wild! Love from Briony.
REPLY: Briony, I wouldn't dream of annoying Miss Barnett - she just doesn't like being helped sometimes! Mr H

I was just looking at term dates and noticed that they only go up to July. I wanted to know when school starts again in September if possible.
REPLY: I will put the full list of dates on the Calendar asap, but the official first day of the school year will be Monday 3rd September 2007. INSET days have not yet been decided for next year but they will be posted as soon as they are available.

Hi Year 3
I love being in year 3.
Studying World War 2 is great!
love
Eleanor

I used to go to this school and Mr Bowman tought me - he was a very nice teacher.
Sorry it's been so long - hope you're not missing me. Thanks for everything Mr Bowman.

Well done Mr H for surviving camp with the y6's and by the way, is rugby on this Tuesday? Hope to see you tomorrow.Thank you as well to Miss Vernon for teaching us on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. A big thank you to Mr Telfer who taught us on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Thanks to Mrs Evans on Thursday afternoon. Thank-you to Miss Goold on Thursday - we would like you as a teacher but you have to teach the receptions, thanks for your offer though.
REPLY: Sounds like you had fun Matthew, I'm pleased that you had so many nice teachers while I was away. Mr H

Hi all - hope your doing O.K. We've got our Year nine SAT's this year, seems like only yesterday that we were sitting our Year six SAT's (and playing the flag game in the afternoon!) We are in ICT at the moment but we have a supply and there was no work set so we have a free lesson, wooo! We miss you all loads and will visit to tell you how we get on in our SAT's (fingers crossed)! Have fun and don't worry for all those who are taking their SAT's too! Best wishes Rosie and Tasha xxx

Hi year 3
I am so happy that it is half term soon.
See you soon
Eleanor x x x

I think this website is great! I rate it 12/12!

Unlucky to Bailey's Court F.C. after you tried your hardest in the tournament at St Michaels, I hope we win the next one! P.s. we need to bring a cup home.
REPLY: That would be nice Matthew but the team has played impressively anyway and it's that effort which counts - not just winning or losing! Mr H

Hi, we love this site - its very cool I think it will be the best school site !!! We think all the children in this school are very nice and kind. We wish year 5 did not leave soon in two years. I really dont want Briony Morgan to, she is my best friend. I dont want her to leave but she needs to !!! I like all the teachers in the school.

Hello everyone in class 9 - you have been very kind to me this year and I hope that next
year will bring us joy too.

Dear Mrs Davey and Mr Telfer
I was wondering if we could have a pets day. It could be educational because we could learn about different animmals, and we all will be responsible.
REPLY: Thanks for that Liam - i will pass it on to Mrs Davey and Mr Telfer but in the meantime, why not suggest it in class council - they could take the idea on to school council. Mr H

Hello,again everyone!
Of course i still remember Mr Heslop, what's he like! I'm in year 7 now and it rocks!!! Oh Mr Higginson - Jhonny must be out of his mind! Who wants to go out with Miss Goold???(she loves me really!) off to have a sleepover at Abbies tommorrow, nice girly time! I've managed not to forget any pieces of homework so no detentions.... YET! Sites looking good!
Mollie

P.S can you get Mr Heslop to email in again i love hearing from him!
P.P.S anyone who's in Miss Goold's class I'd watch out - she might bite!!!
REPLY: Nice to hear from you Molly - I'm glad I'm so fondly remembered - Miss Goold.

We have just had a look at the website and we love it! We love our school and really enjoyed seeing all of the pictures of children learning. Well done Mr Higginson for doing the website. Love from Class 4. x
REPLY: Thank you Class 4 - keep looking at the website so you can follow any changes. Mr H

Hi I love my school and my teacher is a cool dude - class 4

Hi! The children who are doing sats next year - don't worry - you may worry about them at first but after a while you get used to the day and they can be come quite fun. I've just started sats boosters and I've got used to the daily schedule. You'll love year 6 - even though you got sats you've also got camp and the PROM.
REPLY: Absolutely right Katie - Year 6 is a fantastic year - probably the best school year you'll have - so enjoy it!

I think they need some pics of each year group. And I would like to say hi to Abbie Pearce.
REPLY: It would be nice to have Year Group pictures Abbie but as many parents do not want their children's pictures on the websiteit is not possible. Sorry.

Hi please reply OR ELSE! where is the picture of the staff?
REPLY: Check the staff section on the home page Niamh - it's just been updated! Mr H

Hello! I am still at this school but when I do leave I would like to stay here for ever and never go to any other school.

Hi I'd just like to say that please can we do more ict and the school site is brilliant.
REPLY: Thanks for your comments Gemma - I will pass them on.

Cool school- I just love it loads and the teachers are cool dudes

Do you know what I'd love to have? A friends week (or day) where we could get to meet younger children that we're not particulary friends with YET!
REPLY: What a lovely idea Courtney - I'll pass it on to Mrs Davey.

I love this school and i recomend you go to it. Out of all the teachers I recomend Mr Stephens, Mrs Downs, Mrs Legg and Mrs Barnett.

Hi! When you come to year six don't worry about sats. They are worrying at first but you'll get used to it. Trust me I know I've just started them. So when you go into year six have a positive attitude and don't worry. Oh but there is one thing you need to worry about - Mr Stephens, he likes to eat little children.
REPLY: You're absolutely right Emma - there's absolutely nothing to worry about. Oh - and as far as Mr Stephens is concerned, that explains why his class is so small!

Hey,

just checking out the website, cool so far!
How are you all doing?
Not looking forward to sats/boosters!!!!!!!
REPLY: Don't worry girls - it will be fine and you'll enjoy SATs when you get to them! Mr H

Hi everyone, sats coming up so better work hard!

Hi - we love this school, there are lots of fun activities going on all the time. We are really looking forward to camp. Wish we could stay here forever. Courtney and Rebbeca

I hope all and everyone of you in the school have a happy new year.
Gemma Tovey

Hi it's Ellis, I'm getting on alright at my new school - hope you're having fun.

I really like this school. I recomend that Miss Downes, Miss Hargreaves and Miss Barnett are the best teachers.

Hello everyone at Baileys Court! I miss this school very much. I am now in year 9! More SATS! hope you are all ok can u say hello to Mr Bowman for me! Speak to you all soon
Emily x

Hiya, I used to go to Bailey's Court and it was amazing. But I can't compare it to BSCS because they're totally different! The amount of homework we get is horrible....i'm not very organised though! In P.E next term we are doing girls full contact rugby.....should be funny...and fun!!
Tell everyone i said Hello
Byeeeeeee
REPLY: Nice to hear from you Abbie - I hope you enjoy the rugby! Mr H

I go to BSCS now and it isn't half hard, I hate PE and this term we are doing girls full contact rugby which I am not looking forward to as I may break a nail or a neck! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! So how's everyone doing,........ is Miss Goold still in love with her photo of Jonny Wilkinson! Good luck to all those in year 6 with their SATs, they're not actually that bad, just seeing how much you have learnt over the school. Oh I nearly forgot - Mr Heslop can you keep writing in and how's our bear....something something wheelbarrow!! if you have time can you write back.
bye!!!
REPLY: Yes Mollie - Miss Goold is still in love with Mr Wilkinson but I think he is beginning to soften up a bit and may soon agree to a date! Mr H

Hi everyone, Merry Christmas! School is really fun, pirates week and creativity week were great. The Christmas productions were exellent! Please type back, Charlotte Morgan.
REPLY: Thanks for your email Charlotte!

Merry Christmas to everyone at Bailey's - last day of school tomorrow can't wait!

Hi to all the teachers that remember me at Bailey's Court. Yes Mr H I'm not doing too bad. Working at the Baileys Court Inn at the mo - Thursday lunchtimes I see some of the Bailey's staff there. I miss primary school (was so much easier) hope you're all doing well Take care

My son George is in Class 2. We came to his concert today and were very impressed. I admit to having tears in my eyes for Away in a Manger. ALL of the children were so well behaved and enthusiastic. Congratulations to all involved.
REPLY: Thank you for taking the time to write to us - I will pass this on to the teachers involved.

Merry Christmas to everyone at Bailey's Court School

I like being at Bailey'scourt school. I also liked the Christmas fair. A big hello to class 12 and 13.
bye for now

Having a really great time at school but leaving next year i'm so sad (BOO HOO) but my best moments are finding out who my teachers are, i'll never forget this school bye. I like this school a lot but I only joined in year 2 and now I am in year 5. I like finding out who my teachers are, bye!

Hi, Mike Qian here. I'm now in year 10 and i do kinda miss Bailey's. The site is wicked btw. Better than Q.E.H.'s
REPLY: Hello Michael - nice to hear from you - I hope things are going well for you. Glad you like the website - keep logging on as we try to keep updating it. Mr H

Hello everyone at Bailey's Court primary school. Looking forward to the Christmas holidays and lots of presents. I liked pirate week and enjoyed everyone dressing up especially my mum!!!!! Our school rocks!!

Well hello there - I haven't really spoken or written much on here. I miss this school. I am in year 11 now, getting ready for my mocks next week. I am so worried i will do rubbish but hey I have to go and revise now - bye everyone Amber Turner xxxx

I love school especially in Baileys Court


School is great

Miss you all lots

Hello everyone at BCPS. I hope everyone is well and getting through this long term. Such fun reading all these messages from ex-pupils of mine! Tom, I certainly remember your sister calling me Mr Headlock - there were others who I'm sure called me far worse things!

It feels as if summer has returned to Switzerland and its the last week of November - the last two days the temperatures have been in the 20s in parts of Switzerland and I have got my shorts out again (oh yes!). Stefan (7) and Lorin (4) are desperate for snow so they can get on their skis but not a chance at the moment.

I still cycle to school - 4000 Km this year and it's a bit hillier than Horfield to Bradley Stoke but it keeps me fit(ish). I turned 50 this year so am feeling really ancient but trying my best to follow JM Barrie's advice - be an adult but never a grown up!

My role as Learning Support teacher (SEN) allows me to work with children from 6 years to 16 years old. I do a lot of Maths support and maths extension and love the variety. Took my soccer team to Geneva last week and surprised ourselves by winning gold medals. We went to Vienna the previous week and didn't do so well. It may all sound exotic but spending a weekend with 15 twelve year olds has its downsides too!!!

Deep in reports at the moment - what a fun part of the job that is.

I hope you are all well.

Big hugs all round

David Heslop
(ex-teacher)

REPLY: Great to hear from you David - I know your ex-pupils will love to read all about you on the website. You can see that It's all fun here - Pirate Week was wonderful with the school decorated and the children dressed up - You would have loved it!
Now, of course, Christmas is coming, it's the party season and thoughts turn to previous years. We're visiting Hullabaloos tonight which might bring back a few memories for you.

Let us know if you will be appearing in these parts any time soon - we'd love to see you.

Merry Christmas to you all

Mr H and the rest of the staff

Hiya everyone,
I used to go to Bailey's Court and I'm now in secondary school. Apart from the HUGE amount of homework, its really fun here! Can't wait to see some of the yr 6's come here next year! Missing everyone! Bye! xx

You have no idea how much I miss everyone there at Baileys!!!!
REPLY: Thanks for that Claire - It's nice to know we've made an impression!

Hello - I'm having a good year I like my classroom Merry Christmas

Hello everyone, i'm in year 3 now. I'm having the best year ever and Merry Christmas!!!!!

Hello everyone, how are you all? I'm in yr 7 now - I used to go to Bailey's Court, now I go to Filton High. I play for the the school full-contact rugby team, I played in a tournament on saturday - I played every match . Say hello to all teachers for me. Mr Higginson i'm not number 8 because we don't really play them - I'm second row!!
by Jack Staynings
REPLY: Nice to hear from you Jack - I'm glad it's all going well for you. Second row sounds fine - just keep it up.
See you here sometime soon? Mr H

p.s. work hard everyone work hard otherwise your struggle in high school !! trust!!

Being pirates was great!
REPLY: We're glad you enjoyed it - look forward to another great pirate day on Friday!

Hello everyone! I used to go to Bailey's Court and am now in year 7 at Bradley Stoke Community School! Charlotte and I are going to come and visit sometime! Say hello to all the year 1's as Charlotte and I always used to play with them! Anyway, got to go as I am up to my neck in homework! Thankyou for such a great time at Bailey's Court! See you all soon xx

I'm now in my second term at the Ridings. It is great - I am really enjoying myself. But I still miss Bailey's Court very much. Some of the teachers at the Ridings are not as nice as the ones at Baileys Court. Has Baileys Court got an in-set day Thursday 30th November 2006.
From Jess G
REPLY: Nice to hear from you Jess. I'm afraid we don't have an Inset that day - Sorry!
Mr H

The school website is getting better and better. Hello class 11!

I used to go to Bailey's Court Primary School but I am now in year 7 at Filton. Just like to say hello to all of the year six's and hope that they are ok - anyway, have to go now bye

Hannah L.

Hiya I used to go here. High school's ok but Baileys is way better. Hope everyone's well. love Kate xx

Hello everyone - the website is cool! I am now in year 4!

Hi, this year has gone sooo fast. I'm already in year 8 but I still love this school! bye bye

Hi to Mr Higginson {my teacher!} I really liked the Lemonade Stand game
and I sold 55 cups of Lemonade. I really enjoyed the trip to Ashton Court {I'm glad
I didn't get on the bus that broke down! Almost did!}
Saakshi xxx
REPLY: Nice to hear from you Saakshi. I'm glad you enjoyed the game - I'll try to find some more good links like that - and the trip was great fun wasn't it.
Mr Higginson

Hi everybody - I used to go here but then we moved!
I don't know if you can remember me, but I got up to about yr 2 I think. I am now in yr 8 at St Bernards. Please reply and tell me if you can remember me.
REPLY: I'm afraid you didn't leave an email address so nobody will be able to reply. Hope you're getting on well.

I cannot access your newsletters. File source of .pub not recognised by my computer.
Tried opening using Word, powerpoint and excel with no luck. Can anyone help?
Thanks
REPLY: Thanks for your message. It is a problem - I'm afraid there are so many versions of Publisher and many are not compatible with others. The newsletter is written using publisher and it is too big a job to convert it to word each time so for the time being you may not be able to access it online. I will try to find a way around this but it may take some time.
Yours
Mr Higginson

I injoyed learning about the Tudors.
REPLY: That's good to hear Joe - why don't you try to find out more at home?
Year 4/5 teachers

We've been looking at our Tudor houses -all looked very Tudorish! Just started a new school year - going well so far. Looking forward to our trip to Ashton Court next week - hope it doesn't rain! Loved the Spanish games on the website. Really looking forward to the rest of the year. Hi to Mr Walters & Jayko, hope the wedding went well & Jayko is ok. Hi to all our friends at BCPS.

Hi! I'm in year 5 at the moment. I would like to say hello to Mr Higginson because he is really cool! By the way Mr Higginson I'm in your spelling and numeracy group. Do you remember my sister Kimberley Cruickshank? I hope you do. Also if you see Miss Walls one day can you tell her i said hello!
REPLY: Of course I remember Kimberley, we all do here - I hope she's doing well!

hello everyone. Hey Mr Higginson, where's the lemonade game?
REPLY: Go to LINKS then LEARNING AT HOME - you'll find it there.

We love our school!

There are some good houses made by year 4&5 . I think they have done really well making the houses.
REPLY: Thanks Amy!

Wow ! how long ago was it i went there? Wow, well if I am in yr 10 now then I left 4 years ago and I must of started in 1995! I think that's right, I dont know. :) Hope you Still remember me :) Bailey's was wicked. It was so much fun! I haven't been back in a while. I will try and pop back if i can, but I got a load of course work to do :( How's everyone doing?
I had such a fun time and I am still close mates with James Ashdown and Jess Leak and Lucy and Charlotte Hobbs and and still in contact with loads! Bailey's was so much fun !
REPLY: Nice to hear from you Becky - I'm glad you have such fond memories of your time here - Mr H

Dear class 8 . The school website is on google.Type in Bailey's Court Primary School at the uk.

Dear Mr Potter . I found the school website.Thank you as it is very useful.
REPLY: I'm glad you find it useful - I'll tell Mr Potter!

Hi guys . I was showing my Mum and Dad our Tudor village through the slide show on the site when I came across this part of the site. I will post regularly and keep up to date with all the news.
REPLY: Good news Hugh - I hope you become a regular visitor!

Hi to everyone at Bailey's Court, I used to go to Baileys Court 9 years ago before i left to move away. You probably wont remember me anymore :( I just thought id take a look and see how things have changed. Hi to everyone who was in class 10 Miss Himes. i miss you all. I am now in my last year of secondary school and would like to thank all the staff who helped me at bcps. I would like to say hello to Mr Heslop. I will never forget him as my sister used to call him Mr Headlock.( she had speech problems ). Hi to Mr Stevens.
Thanks again
It would be nice to hear from you all

Tom Gawne
REPLY: Thanks for your mail Tom. I can't remember you myself but I'll ask Mr Stephens if he can. Miss Himes has left and teaches in Bath somewhere and Mr Heslop has been in Switzerland for about 6 or 7 years now. Hope your final year goes well
Mr Higginson

I would just like to say that I love Ridings High but I sort of miss your school and my old friends including Abi Sparks and I wish all the new Y1's a good time since I loved them so much last year.

Hi! We just went into year 7, Tom's in Filton and Theo's in The Ridings. We liked Bailey's Court and we are having a great time. Hope everyone's ok and bye bye
- we'll pop in some time!

I was in reception the day the school first started and I was only wondering if there are any of the photos from the newspaper, I remember that there was a photo taken. I was only wondering if you could have a page on the history of the school, it started 10 years ago now.
REPLY: Thanks for your idea Emma - it would be great to have a page on the start of Bailey's court and the 10 year anniversary would be an ideal time. I'll see what I can do!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to say good luck to all those going up to secondary school in September. It will definitely feel strange but it doesn't last long. Hope everone is O.k. and enjoying themselves! Bailey's forever!!! xxx

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to say hi! It's been ages since I went to Bailey's Court. I wish I hadn't skipped a year now. School is so much harder a high school but we have longer holidays!
REPLY: Lovely to hear from you Ann - we've seen your picture in the papers! Perhaps you'd like to pop in and see us sometime during your long holidays?

It's great to read so many lovely comments from both past and present pupils...... and past teachers! This site certainly gets better every week. I'm very proud of it - and of Mr Higginson's efforts to keep it so up to date and exciting! Thanks to all of you who contribute (and especially Mr H) and keep communicating!!!.

Hello everyone - how are you all? Just came on this site to say that i'm getting on well at school! but i miss this one!!!!

Hi Eloise Heal, Jodie and Joe Constance!
I'm from St Michaels and just to say that your website is really cool!! I like it! I'm in class 6.1!

Hello people!! This is Jonathan Davey!! (The best!?). I used to go to Bailey's Court (in case you have forgotten) and now I go to the new school - Bradley Stoke! The worst part about leaving Bailey's Court was the thought I was never going to see my friends that were going to other schools! But this was not true! I sometimes see my old friends when I am walking to school!! They also come and call for me sometimes! So I hope when the New Year 7 people leave school they do not feel scared in anyway because there is nothing to worry about! The experience is so much fun and it does not matter which school you go to! All the people that are going to Bradley Stoke, you might see me sometimes!
REPLY: Thank you so much for that message Jonathon - it is great that, even though you have a busy life going on there, you can still find time to think about how the current Y6 must be feeling. Everyone worries a bit about moving schools and a few words from someone who's been through it can really help. A lot of us are coming up to the school soon so we may see you then. Mr H

This web site is wicked cool and the new game we learnt, the flag game, is really good.
Also just to say my leg is back to normal.

Dear all,

It is six years since I left Bailey's Court for the mountains of Switzerland and the first message I read on the message board is from Mollie. Mollie you probably won't remember me as I was your teacher in Reception but I certainly remember you particularly because of the song you wanted us all to sing on your very first day at school. The song was... well, I can't say here, but the lyrics were not the most appropriate for the occasion. I still laugh about it now remembering how I felt hearing you sing it! I can't believe that you are already in Y6 and soon to move onto Secondary. The best of luck to you and all your year group.

Also my very best wishes to all the staff and students at the school particularly Wendy, Martin, Julie, Mark, Catherine, Val, Lyn, Matt , Andrew, Lucy and all others who I had the pleasure to work with.

Is the cuckoo clock still working?!!!

Best wishes

David Heslop
REPLY: Lovely to hear from you Mr Heslop - I'll pass this message on to everyone on the staff, a lot of whom you'll still remember from the 'old days'. We're putting together a leaver's performance with the Year 6's at the moment and your name is still fondly remembered when we talk about reception. I think the clock is still going but we've all got so used to it that we don't really notice any more - i'll check!
Hope all is well with you and your family

Best wishes

Mr H

Hiya, i am in year 6 now and I would like to say I have been through all of my school years and have not recieved a red card or a yellow card (exept for the ones that have been given to a whole class!!) I am so glad!! Could i say thank you to Miss Goold and Mr Higginson for helping me and the rest of year 6 get through SAT's. From Abbie x
REPLY: Well done Abbie - it's been a pleasure teaching you and all the other children in Year 6.

Hi, we go on the school website regularlyy and the school website is great and we think it has got a lot better!! Well done to everyone who had an impact on making it!! Especially Mr Higginson!!! From Abbie and Alice xx

Hi it's Laura, I cannot say how much I miss you all! My new school is rubbish and I don't have many friends, I wish I was back with you guys where I belong! Best wishes to Year 5. Hi Mr Stephens! keep up all the good work. Hi Mollie, Katie, Sam and Katie! It was fun. Love you all! I will write soon. love, Laura x
REPLY: I will pass this on to Year 5 Laura. I'm sure your new school is not so bad - you just need time to get used to it, and I'm sure you will make some wonderful friends in the end. Mr H

Woo! Year 6 is nearly over,and I'm on the long winding road to the REAL world, but when the worst comes to the worst I must admit that my time at Bailey's Court has been very enjoyable.One last event I am looking forward to is the prom ~ I can't wait to see Mr H dancing. ( Just a warning Mr H can't dance to save chocolate so beware!)
REPLY: Nonsense Mollie - you just don't understand my dancing style! Mr H

Wow! The school website is a lot bigger than it used to be!
Hi everybody in yr 5!

Hey Mr H - i tried watching the airbus A380 but it wouldn't download. Do you know why?
REPLY: I'm sorry you couldn't watch the video clip. It might be because you don't have a program for watching video on your computer but you probably have Windows Media Player or Realplayer so it's unlikely to be that. It does take a long time to download, even on broadband so it could be that you just haven't waited long enough. Otherwise it must be your media player's settings. I hope you get to see it eventually! Mr H

i can't believe it is 4 and a half years since i was at balieys court.. i would just like to say that thanks for being a great school because i got a A* in my english essay because of all of you( we had to write about our primary schools and our memories- dont ask me why! hehe). Hope everyone is well.
xxxxxxxx
REPLY: Great news Whitney - I'm glad you have fond memories but I'm sure It's much more exciting there really!

Hi it's me! I've finally made it to your amazing website (much better than my new schools!), life is good and to what should be Mr Bowman's delight I have created various albums on the computer and I'm now the lead singer and songwriter in a band. I hope to catch up with you all soon and hope you are all having a great time in what should be named THE BEST PRIMARY SCHOOL ON THE PLANET EVER!!!
Cheers and bye!!!
P.S Please tell Mr Bowman the spirit of Good Vibrations lives on forever!
REPLY: Lovely to hear from you Shaun. I'm glad you're getting on so well and I'll let Mr Bowman know about your musical exploits. Come in and see us some time.

Hi everyone


Its Sam Maddocks - I used to go to Bailey's Court but i don't anymore. I now go to The Ridings High School. I'm missing everyone there and I hope everyone is getting on ok.

Bye

Sam
REPLY: Hi Sam - It's good to hear from you.

Mr Higginson! I think this web-site is really smashing and very informative. It gives a great picture of a really lovely school. Thanks for all your hard work in maintaining and developing it!
REPLY: I'm blushing Mrs Davey!

Hi everyone - I just want to say I hope you're all ok down there. Please give a big thank-you to class 2 for letting me help there.
Poppy

You should put more things about tag rugby on it and take more photos of us playing tag rugby because I would like to see what I look like playing.
REPLY: It is difficult Joe, because quite a few children cannot have their pictures on the website, but we will see what we can do. Mr H and Mr S

I'd like to say hi to all my friends and i'd like to say hi to all the teachers - mostly Mr Stephens.

BETHANY

Hi

I think it is a great school and my child likes school as well.

Mr Higginson - Are you planning on running your excellent Summer Holiday club this year? Sophie really enjoyed her day with you last summer and would like to come for longer this year.
REPLY: We certainly are going to run the club again this summer - from Monday 31st July to Friday 4th August. As normal, this is not an official school club but it will be run by members of staff who work at the school. We will send out more details in May.

As a parent it would be quite nice to have the schools policy on illness on the web - ie. how many days after high temperature, sickness etc. is it necessary to keep a child at home. It would give us a quick and easy reference - thanks!
REPLY: Thank you for your suggestion - the school's guidelines for pupil illness have now been included on the website. Click on 'school policies' on the menu bar on the left, then 'guidelines'.

REPLY: Thank you for that Georgina - a real trip down memory lane and I'm sure all the up and coming Year 6's will be inspired to write equally wonderful songs about their time at camp.

I really enjoyed year 6 camp.
Miss Goold and Mr Higginson are really funny but at the same time serious.
From Jess G
REPLY: Thank you Jess (I think) - Mr H and Miss G

Hi to all

Hope all you are having a good time. High shool is hard.

REPLY: Nice to hear from you Adam, we're all fine here. Keep working hard - it will be worth it in the end! Mr H

I would just like to say a big hi to everyone. The Web site is looking really good. Having a look round made me realise how much I have missed the school and everyone there.
REPLY: Good to hear from you Mrs Ferguson - how long is it since you left? It can't be 2 years can it? A big hello back to you from us all - perhaps you could let us know what you are up to now in another message?
Take care - Mr H and the rest of the staff

Sats are getting really close now - we are all nerves.
Hi to all of year 6!!!!!!!
love
XxXxHannahxXxX
REPLY: Don't worry Hannah (or anyone else for that matter). As long as you have worked hard and done your best everyone will be happy.

Hi everyone - I haven't seen you for ages. How are you all?
I must meet up with Hannah Lopeman & other people!
See you soon
Mae
REPLY: Nice to hear from you Mae, but please write in normal English - it takes a while to change it from 'text speak' and I probably won't have time next time.

Hi Everyone!
Hope you are all ok!!
PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL!!!!!!!!!
Love
Laura and Emily Pullen. ( who left school in 2005)

To my friends - Hannah and both Jesses.
Love Amy P.S hope you are having a lovely time - wish i visited

Keep up the good work updating the website Mr Higginson, its a shame about having to blank out so many faces in pictures, surely parents should be happy that their children have achieved so much.
REPLY: THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

hi everyone
how are you all doing? High school is ok but much harder work and more homework and no laughs like it was there. I miss being at Bailey's but i'm getting older!!!!
Say hi to all the teachers
Zoe
REPLY: NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU ZOE - I'M SURE IT'S REALLY FAR MORE EXCITING THERE BUT IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE HAPPY MEMORIES OF BAILEY'S COURT. MR HIGGINSON

hi - camp photos won't come up.
REPLY: I KNOW HANNAH - I WILL TRY TO FIX IT.

Im in my house rugby team at school and I love it, that's all thanks to the rugby club that I went to that Mr Higginson and Mr Stephens did, but the rugby i do is full contact so...
see you all later,
Zahra
REPLY: I'M GLAD YOU ARE STILL ENJOYING RUGBY ZAHRA - HOPE YOU KEEP IT UP!

Hi Sam! I'm glad you enjoyed the play about Ancient Greece. I thought that you and all of the children in Class 9 were great this morning and that the assembly was brilliant. I was really proud of you all, well done! Mrs Downes.

Hi I want to thank Mr Walters for starting a football team - I'm really excited. Would you like me to be the Captain? Hi Mrs Downes you're great - I'm really enjoying the play we're doing about Ancient Greece. From Sam Wentland

Hi all,
we're missing our old friends but have made loads more! We've got our SAT's soon and our choices week next week!
Hope everyone's having fun and working hard !
Bye from us

2nd message left.. Charlotte Bagust has been through the whole school currently in year 6 and has never recieved a RED card. This needs to be praised!!!! Well done sweetie i'm very proud of you!!! Lets hope the school reconises this too.
REPLY: Thank you for your message Mrs Millward (I don't know where the first ended up!) and we are, of course, also pleased that Charlotte has behaved so well. We have no formal system for recognising such behaviour because this is the standard we expect from all the pupils and the large majority meet this expectation. Well done though Charlotte, and congratulations also to all the other well-behaved children at Bailey's Court.

As parents of a year 6 child at St Michael's, Stoke Gifford we found your Powerpoint presentation for Key Stage 2 SATs very informative. At our school we do not have meetings about such important matters, nor do we have any such information on our website.
REPLY: Thank you for your interest.

Hi every one, I miss you all. I can't wait to see all the year 6's that are coming to Bradley Stoke Community School.
Hope to see you all soon From Laura Morgan

Hi everyone - I am at my new school at the moment, anyway happy new year to Hannah Bone and Mae Allsop.

Hi everyone,
I am a bit worried about SATS but thanks to Miss Goold and Mr Higginson.
I loved camp - we went abseiling and lots more! From Charlotte.
REPLY - Please try not to worry Charlotte - it will all become easier as you have more practise.

I MISS THE SCHOOL VERY MUCH JOSH

I used to be a pupil at the school and it is the best school I have ever been to.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERY ONE FROM ELLIS XXXXXXXX

Have logged on regularly over the past few months and am still waiting for the radical changes. Is the calandar correct regarding Inset dates - is there an inset date in January? Would be nice to have more general information about the school - eg school results for last year plus pictures of school events (eg Christmas plays) to encourage children who log on. There's lots of good things going on at the school that we parents don't get to see - the website is an ideal place for us to share in the good work.
REPLY - Thank you for your interest John, and you were right, there was an omission from the calendar. Regarding the content of the website, we are limited in publishing pictures by the need for permission to be given by parents. At present, between a third and a quarter of parents have not given permission and this makes it very difficult to find suitable pictures. We will, however, continue to develop the website and try to make it an even better showcase for Bailey's Court.

I think that the website is really good. I would just like to say a big thank you to all my old teachers for putting up with me (How did you do it?) and for teaching me the things that came in use for my Year 9 sats. I would like to thank Mr Bowman for teaching us about Ronnie the Raindrop as I took GCSE Geography and we are doing rivers at the moment.

I may come to the school on Work Experience if I get turned down by the Hippodrome or Colston Hall.

Cheers again to you all
Adam Shea

P.S Tell Miss Legg that I am yet to be put on a star chart at The Ridings, so I am doing well!!! : )

Hi everybody in year 6 and everyone else. I had lots of fun on camp with my roomates Adam and Luis - sorry that Harry couldn't make it!
Bye from Joe

Hi - it's Amber - just writing to say hiya and that I am in year 10 now and doing G.C.S.E fun!

Amber
~~xXx~~

Merry Christmas to all of year 6 especially Alice Law and Amy Parry who is travelling to Florida at the moment! Also a big MERRY CHRISTMAS to Mr Higginson! ( :

Thank you Hannah, Merry Christmas to you too - From Mr Higginson

Hi Bailey's Court, Past and Present!
I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas from New Zealand!
The website is looking good Mr Higginson - it's great to read all the messages!
Have fun -
Miss Hazell xx

Merry Xmas to you too Miss Hazell - from everyone here at Bailey's Court. Expect an email any time soon (just had to give you time to settle down over there!)

Hi everyone, I used to go to Bailey's Court. Just to say hello to all of the year six's
From Hannah Macleod

I left this school in September this year to go to Cardiff. I really miss my friends - they are called Jessica, Hannah, Lauryn Cole and everybody else in year 2. And my lovely teacher Mrs Badham.

I'm in year six now - it rocks and there are some pics of me in the year six camp pictures.

Hi - it's really cool at the new school, but it will never be better than Bailey's Court !!!! I miss everyone there except the new year sixes (joking) Bye

Hi everyone.
It has been so long since i have visited this website!!! My year 9 SATs are coming up and wishing everyone in year 6 as much luck as i need. I have seen Mr Higginson walking to the portacabins, so look out for me on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings - i might see you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Missing all my old friends and teachers, just want to say to ALL of the teachers that I have had in my years at Bailey's, it has been a real pleasure you teaching stuff to me, it has been really useful!!! See you lot later and year 6, spend the most of your time studying for the on coming years ahead, you really do need it. In the Ridings we get tons of homework and its not fair because I'm behind on some.
Jess
p.s. please type back, looking forward to what your reply is!!!

Hi

I think Bailey's Court is a great place to learn , I loved camp and I would love to go again. From Ellie

I have really enjoyed reading all of the comments. Mr Higginson has worked really hard at keeping the website going. It is so nice to hear hear from all of the children who have left Bailey's Court .
Mrs Murphy

Did i say you could put my picture on here? Only joking.
I luv that school. It is 100 times better than all my other friends' schools.
Thanks for everything.

I love this school!

Hi - I went on year 6 camp on the 3rd of October. It was really fun.

Year 5's should be really excited.
from
Hannah Lopeman

Hi teachers
It's the twins; Charlotte and Lucy Hobbs and Philippa Joyce and we just wanted to say hi to all of you.
We have just turned year 9 and its great but we have our SATs coming up so we're not looking forward to that.
All the three of us have became very good friends because we are in the same classes except science.
We are all very good at science.
We hope Bailey's Court is ok. and that all the teachers are behaving.
Bye!

Hi, how is everybody? Im fine. Hope you're having a nice time - missing you, from Stephanie.

Hi remember me? I'm Joe. The Ridings is brilliant but we get 5 pieces of homework a day and 15 a week, so be warned those who want to go to the Ridings. See you!!!

My mum has moved so thats why my E-mail address is different. In my new school im doing fine but i am missing you guys love Ellis

Hi everybody, it's me. Our new school is great. Hello Mr Bowman & Mr Higginson.

Hi!! Miss you all loads! I've made loads of new friends but Megan, Morgane and Hannah Lott are the best!! How's everyone? Wish i was back in year 6 (not a lot of homework) I have my year 8 sats soon! (HELP!!)
cheers
bye!
From Emma xxxx (Hannah says hi)

Hello everyone - i know it's been a while but i thought it would be good to say bon chance (good luck, i think) to all the year 6's sitting sats.

Hi everyone - it's really cool in sats but its hard and i cant belive that its may already. It feels like we are in year 5 but we're not. Also my 3 best friends are the best ever in this school and they are Zahra, Freya and Rosie, athough we do have our ups and downs but we're friends in the end.
Poppy

Hi everybody - i miss all of you. Hope you like sats and the prom.
The prom sounds really cool and i will email again. Bye bye Emma Barker

could have some games on it.
See you soon

Hi you lot, this is Saleha from ages and ages ago. I left after year 1 but that doesnt mean i was sick of you lot. I really missed you guys. I am now in THE HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS (Gloucester). I was sad to hear Miss Baker left a few years ago, because she was the only teacher i only had.

Wow its been 3 years since i left Bailey's. Miss it loads - wish i stayed that extra year. I popped in a while ago with Ann and saw Mrs Murphy! Is Miss Goodi
