To all the staff and children
I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday. I want to thank everyone for all the cards,presents,good wishes and all the wonderful activities at the end of the summer term. I really enjoyed all of them, but I was a bit worried when Dr Who came to take me away!!
I am now enjoying my time at home and am going off on holiday soon. I keep thinking about you all and hope you are all working hard, as usual!! I hope I will see you soon. All the best for the next school year.
Thank you to all the parents for the lovely gifts - they were much appreciated.
Love from Mrs Johnson x x x

hi missing the infants. cant wait for year 6 but i will miss year 5. hope you r all doin well bye

Thank you Jasmine. We miss all our children when they go up to the juniors. We know you will work hard and do well in Year Six.

I have just come from the year 1 end of year assembly and I still can't stop smiling.....! Thank you so much to the children, Mrs Simpson, Miss Timings, and all the support staff who made a truly wonderful assembly possible.

I wish you all a fun and relaxing holiday.

Thank you for inviting us to James' Birthday Assembly today. We were very impressed at how grown up and confident he was in telling everyone about his 5th Birthday! He loves being part of the school and he was so pleased that we were able to join him this morning and also this afternoon at Sports Day. Thank you all very much, it was fun.

Thank you for your comments. James did speak very confidently didn't he! We are very lucky at Churchdown Village Infant School to have such delightful children and supportive parents

really enjoyed it at the Cheltenham Festival. Thank you to Mrs Williams who helped me in recorders to play Grandfathers Clock. I won the Recorder Cup, medal and certificate. Thank you to Mrs Stewart and Mr Stewart for helping us to do so well in choir and for helping us win the cup again.

Well done Abigail. You did very well at The Cheltenham Festival, as did everyone who took part

On Tuesday I really enjoyed going to the Gloucester Museum. I liked the classroom. it had lots of benches and you were not allowed to speak to each other. The Teacher told the girls to clean up at break time. I had to write with my right hand which is really hard because I am left handed. The teacher was much more strict that Mrs Western.

We are glad you enjoyed your visit to The Folk Museum. The Victorian Teacher was very strict wasn't she!!

Hello to all our friends in Year 1. We have enjoyed looking at the art work and reading all the latest news.

Amy loves being in Miss Timings class and enjoyed writing her Witches poem. Her certificate meant alot to her especially as Sam already has two !

Sam is enjoying Mrs Simpsons class. He thought it was brilliant that he was allowed to bring his Joseph CD to class this week and listen to some of the songs with his friends.

Thank you

hi its nick i realy enjoyed the infant school. junior school is amazing.

Thank you Nick. We are glad you are enjoying the juniors. Keep up the good work

I heard Mrs Jarrett talking about the visit of the Life Bus on BBC Radio Gloucestershire today. It is a shame the three year 2 children didn't get much of a chance to speak, but well done to them. (Christa, Georgia and Oliver?) The item really brightened up my normally gloomy drive to work on a Monday morning!

I was reallly sorry we could not go to school today. I really enjoy my time in yr 2. I best thing I like most is doing my numercay and trying to get a certifcate on a Monday. I think it's the best school in the world.

Please may we come back to school tomorrow as I miss doing my letters and numbers because I really like going to school. Brilliant!

We had a lovely time at school making Christmas things and we're really sad we didn't get to finish our stockings because school was closed today. We've just looked at Mrs. Jarrett's wedding pictures. We liked them and thought Mrs Jarret looked very pretty.

We are looking forward to going back to school tomorrow.

Love from Max and Zoe Dibble

i love recepshon

We are pleased to hear that you are enjoying your first few weeks in Reception. We will continue to have lots more fun throughout the year.

i like reading with mrs western on friday and all of the hard work i do in year 2 i like
playing my recorder and violin

We are glad you are enjoying Year Two Abigail. We also really enjoy your recorder playing in Birthday Assembly. Keep up the hard work.

Thank you Miss Timings, Mrs Daniel, Mrs Western, Mrs Edwards and Mrs Rayers. I really enjoyed Infant school and all the activities I was able to do. I loved the Cheltenham Festival, being in the choir, recorders and performing poetry and prose. I was a little embarrassed when I watched the International dvd but I'm pleased the school won an award. I will miss you all but you will still see me around as Alex and Gabby are with you now. Thanks again, Chris.
We are so glad you enjoyed your time at Churchdown Infants Christopher. Your performance in the International DVD was a joy to watch and we think you should be very proud of all your fantastic achievements, well done.

Thank you to everyone who taught Christopher. He has gone to Juniors a happy, confident, caring child who is a pleasure to have around. I hope that every school he attends realises and encourages his wonderful attitude and brings out the best in him as CVIS did.
Thank you for your lovely comments. All staff will remember Christopher with great affection. We consider all our pupils to be our greatest asset and really appreciate all the support we get from our parents, so thank you again.

Thankyou so much for the amazing start you have given to Caitlyns education. Amy starts in Mrs Jarretts class on Monday I hope you are all prepared for her! Thankyou also for keeping the website so up to date. It is a fantastic resource that many schools overlook.
Thank you for your comments. We do enjoy sharing our news with you all.

Thankyou for being a great teacher last year Mrs Williams. Thankyou Mrs Cottell for being a great Teaching Assistant. I really miss you but I am enjoying my new school and class. Thankyou Mrs Rayers for being the best headmistress in Churchdown Village Infant School. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you for being a great pupil Caitlyn, please pop and see us anytime.

Hello everybody! I'm Miss Sonia, one of the Spanish teachers who were in Mrs Johnson's class in March 2007. My best regards to my Reception class and all the staff. I am missing you all very much. Now I am working with year 2 Spanish children and I tell them how sensible these children were and what wonderful smiles they had. I'm very happy to hear that Mrs Miles is getting better and Miss Wood wedding was great.
Thank you very much to everybody for your help.
Hello Miss Sonia, how lovely to hear from you. We are so glad you are doing so well back in Spain and wish you well with your new Year Two class. It would be lovely to keep in contact. Perhaps your Year Two children would like to have some emailing friends at our school.

I really enjoyed my first day in Year 2. I liked doing my writing, numeracy and playing on the adventure playground with Miss Keating at lunchtime.
We are glad you enjoyed your first day Abigail. We will have lots of fun in Year Two.

It is nearly the end of our summer holiday and I have just been enjoying looking at our school website. It is really fantastic to see all of the things we have been doing and to read the comments. Fantastic news too!!!!!!! We have received the highest International School award for all of the International work we do in school. Well done to everyone and especially to Mrs Williams and Mrs Western for putting together the portfolio of work.

I left the Infant School back in 2002, but still see it as the starting point for my education. The teaching then was excellent, and now, with all the technology it must me outstanding! I thorougly enjoyed CVIS and would go back there anyday. It's great to see the school flourishing as it well deserves! Best of luck in the future.

I have just seen Miss Wood's wedding photos and I think they are very good and it looks like everyone had a good time. Her dress was very pretty and there are lots of good photos in the total of 274!
She certainly does look lovely doesn't she. All the best Helen!

we have both loved churchdown village infants

We have loved having you here. We will all miss you both. Remember we are only across the playground.

A huge THANK YOU to all the staff at CVIS. Anna has learned a lot during her 4 years and has really enjoyed her time there. She has especially enjoyed the extra curricular music with Mrs Stewart and the sports with Miss Keating.
Well done Anna, you have worked hard.

I am very sad that I am leaving the Infant school but I have still had a great time. I think I might see you soon. Good bye Infant school.
We do hope you will pop and see us Anna. All the best!

I really enjoyed the Year 2 Leavers Assembly today, and have enjoyed being at Churchdown Village Infants School.

Thank you for all your hard work Lewis, we are glad you enjoyed your time with us.

Thank you to all our Year Twos for doing such a fantastic joh with the Leavers' Assembly. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with such talented pupils.
Well done!

I have lots of fun at school and really enjoy doing my writing and reading. The sports activities after school have been really exciting and so far this year I have taken part in multi-skills, football and tennis! I'm now learning the recorder and make some wonderful squeaky sounds! My Mum & Dad love my music too!

Thanks to everyone involved in Health Week. Will had a fabulous time - he really enjoyed the sports activity day at Chosen Hill School, even if it was a little hot on the day! He is also loving his music lessons with Mrs Stewart - he wants to practise his recorder all the time!

Could someone get me in contact with churchdown junior school,6H that would be great. Thanks. Bye IM an x pupil.

If anyone can help Dan please see Mrs Williams for Dan's email, thanks

Dear Miss Keating Thank you very much for the activities week for Year 1 and Year 2. I really enjoyed the whole week, particularly the tennis, the penalty shoot out and the golf as well as the hockey. I would like to do more of this in the future. I haven't seen you lately at mass. See you after half-term. From Connor.

A really big thank you to Miss Keating and Miss Jarratt for organising the Healthy Living Week. The activities were lots of fun too! Thank you also to pupils from Chosen Hill School and our juniors for helping out.
Miss Keating, you need to get along to mass, you need all the help you can get!!! x

I really enjoyed the Cheltenham Festival and well done to everyone who took part.

Thank you. We all enjoyed the fesitval too. Look out for more photos of our medal winners.

i love being at school with all my friends. I have taught daddy and mummy how to use the school website. francesca bevan

What a clever girl you are Francesca. Did mummy and daddy enjoy looking at the website?

Dear Mrs Western and Year 2(GW) - I just thought I would pop in and say hello. You all did such a good job of helping me to become a 'proper' teacher that I have been given a job in a lovely primary school in Hertfordshire for September. I will be teaching Year 4, but I will always have fond memories of teaching Year 2 at Churchdown. I hope you are all going to try hard to do your best in your SATS. Best wishes, Miss Kirkcaldy.

We are so pleased for you Miss Kirkcaldy, congratulations. Perhaps we can link up with your new school through email.
Thank you for helping us with our work.

Hi Everyone would just like to let you know that I am on the mend and being looked after by my wonderful husband. I would like to thank everyone for the lovely cards and flowers that I received from you all. I am missing you all so much and cant wait to get back to see all the children. It is nice having the teachers coming to visit me and I enjoy the company and hearing all about the school. When I am a little bit stronger I will come up and see you all. Mrs Miles xx
Mrs Miles, how lovely to hear from you. We are so happy to hear you are on the mend as we have missed you very much, especially everyone in Mrs Johnsons' class. We look forward to seeing you soon.

I like being in Mrs Jarretts and Mrs Andrews class because they let us do lots of fun things and I like drawing.

You will soon be having lots of fun in Year One too!!

I had a great Easter holiday and love being back at school in Mrs Jarratt's class where I have lots of friends. I was worried at first when mummy said I wouldn't be in Miss Wood's class after Easter - then I realised what she meant! I think Mrs Jarratt looks beautiful in her wedding dress.
I'm glad the weather is warmer so we can wear our summer dresses.
I love painting, drawing, reading & writing and often visit this site to see if there are any new photos.


It is great to be in our summer uniforms already isn't it Maya!

I have been telling my mummy about this website for a long time and have finally convinced her to look at it for me. Hello to Mrs Jarrett my teacher (and Mr Jarrett) and all my class friends.
Hello Remo. What do you think of the site. Is there anything you would like to see on it the next time you look?

I love being back at school and going to after school club. Hello to all my friends in reception.

My Mummy and Daddy thought Mrs Jarratt looked beautiful on her wedding day.
Lara, your mummy and daddy are right Mrs Jarratt did look beautiful on her big day. We are so glad you love coming to school.

To Mrs Jarratt, I am excited to go to Year 1. I have enjoyed Reception.

Emily-Rose, you will soon be in Year One, what fun!!! This time next year you can look forward to being in my class!!! Mrs Williams

i love being at my school and i am looking forward to being in year one.

We are so glad you like coming to school Emma. You will also have lots of fun in Year One too.

I have had a really nice Easter Holiday with my family and am looking forward to being back at school with all my friends and teachers. Great Website lol Emily x

Glad you are enjoying your holiday Emily. I am looking forward to going back to school too, so we will be glad together!! I will need a little help updating the website when I return to school, perhaps you and some friends would like to help take the photographs and text.

To all the staff, children and parents who made my last day at school before our wedding such a lovely memorable day! It was such a special way to start the celebrations. Well done to all the children, especially those in my class, who managed to keep everything a secret for so long. The wedding day itself was wonderful. May we also take this opportunity to thank everyone for their contributions towards our present (Denby crockery set), the many gifts the children brought in and the lovely cards we have received. Looking forward to seeing you at he beginning of term. Much love, Mr & Mrs Jarratt. x

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! We are glad you enjoyed your surprise assembly. It was a very well kept secret wasn't it!! How long do you think it will take the teachers to remember your new name?

I enjoyed working with the Spanish students who helped us school. I also really liked our school visit to the Holst Museum - I liked the funny feather pens.

I liked meeting the Commonwealth Head Teachers.

It was lovely to meet our guests wasn't it Lewis. I hope you enjoyed performing to them too!

I hope you remember me! I am really enjoying year 3!

Of course we remember you Isobel. We are so glad you are having a good time in Y3.

I really enjoyed my time at the Infant school,thank you for everything.My brother will be joining the infants in September 2007, watch out he is not like me!.

From lewis

We will bear that in mind Lewis. We hope you are having a good time in the juniors.

Thank y ou to all the teachers and Mrs Rayers for a great time.

Hola! We hope you are all well and you will be pleased to hear that it is raining in Spain today! We all like our new international school in Madrid but we do miss Churchdown. We are learning to speak Spanish but Will has the best accent thanks to his Spanish lessons in Year 1 and Year 2 at Churchdown Infants!! Best wishes to you all.

Hello Sykes family
Glad to hear that you are all doing well. Keep watching our site and we will help alleviate your home sickness. Our Spanish lessons continue, although now it is with Senor Savage. You can always talk to teachers and pupils if you would like to touch base.
All the best

Hello everybody! I really love my school and my teachers.

I like to check the website to see what is happening at my school

I liked looking at detail with respect to my school, particularly the picture of me, Ben, Daniel and Rowan, when we were in reception.

I enjoy being in Miss Timings class. I like seeing my brother Christopher and my sister Gabby at school.

I love being in a new class because it is more fun and harder but I stil miss my teachers from last year. I am pleased that I am in the choir now. Especially I like maths and tennis club.

Mrs Williams is a nice teacher. I was a bit scared at the first day at school because I missed Miss Timings and mrs Daniel but I'm happy now because I have new friends at school and Mrs Williams does art and Mrs Weston does Drama. I am really proud that my harvest poem is on the website.

I like school because I get to see Miss Wood every day, she has cars in her classroom. I can see my sister at lunchtime.

I am so excited to come to this school in October

I really enjoy looking at this website.

I attended the Infant School from 1975 to 1978, and I have very happy memories of it (even of coming last in the obstacle race on Sports Day). Mrs Newitt was my teacher in Reception and, I think, Year 1; I remember that she was very nice. I am pleased to see that the school is still doing very well; keep it up!

what a great website, having my 4th child just about to start school here, i thought it was time to leave a comment - great school, excellent staff!

Thanks for a great time at CVIS...off to watch Spongbob and then Juniors..Thank you to all my teachers and Mrs Rayers

hello! I am glad to see that the school is still doing well. I rembember when I was at the school and when I won the silver medal at the Cheltenham festival on the recorder playing Sad Song. I still love doing my music on the flute where I am either going to be doing grade 6 or 7! Also on the oboe where I am hopefully gong to do my grade 5 unless I am doing a exam on the piano. I know my little sister Anna loves going to school and she is always telling me that Mrs. Williams keeps calling her Katie, she finds it quite funny. See you all soon Katie xxx

Im approching the end of my time at Churchdown Village Infants School and going up to the junior school but I've had a great time and this is a fantastic school - i am looking forward to going up to the juniors in September!

Glad to see the school still doing well and achieving the usual standards.

I think that my photos are great but some of them do not have photos of wonderful great
me!!!!!

We will have to rectify this situation very soon. It is our leavers assembly soon so we will be able to include some more photos. Keep looking. Have you checked the choir pictures?

We like looking at art and thats one of the reasons why this school is a better place.

I like the website because I was very excited to see my school and to see my brother wearing his Easter bonnet in the Easter assembly.

ahhhh the good old days, good to see churchdown doing so well, although missed 1 year of school due to illness nice to see that it is doing so well and some teachers are still there (mrs Newitt and mrs Johnson) thanks alot, i think you were actually my only teachers in reception and year with mrs newitt and mrs johnson year 2.

I love my school very much.

It was really good looking at school. We loved it.

We enjoyed looking at the website in school. We liked seeing the children doing their work. We also liked seeing the girls and boys eating their breakfast in the before school club. We can't wait to see it again! Love from Miss Wood's Class.

For some reason my earlier comment, which was sent on Friday never appeared. But I will write it again for you.
Woh - my school web site is great and when I went on year one I saw my picture that I took today (Friday)

WOW my schools website is great and when I went on year 1 and saw my picture that I took Today.

What a great site. We enjoyed looking at and reading about all the wonderful things you are all doing at CVIS. Keep up the good work!

Just flicking through the pages on this website has brought a florish of memories. Teachers such as Mrs Simpson and my old Head-Mistress Mrs Holden. Ahh those were the days!!
Good to see those trusty climbing frames in the main hall are still there!!
Regards, and keep up the good work

I'm so pleased to see the school still flourishing! I have many fond memories of Churchdown Village Infants (and Junior) schools from my time there in the 1970's. I still live nearby and often walk past the schools. How time passes - my son is now 4 and a half years old himself! I remember myself as around this age attending the school........
