Hi I went to Guestling from 1986 to 1988 when I left to go to Hillcrest in Hastings. i used to live in Pett village. I left to go to University in Norwich where I met my husband who is from Cardiff. I now live in Cardiff anf have a son who is 4 and in school! How time flies! Mr Griffiths was my headmaster with Miss Gill teaching me in the 3rd year juniors followed by Mr Thwaites in the 4th Year - I loved my time at Guestling!

Hi.

We would like to thank Year 4 for their lovely letters following our visit during their World War 2 project. The letters were wonderful, the writing excellent and they gave us all a lot of pleasure.
Thank you too for letting us share your project with you - and especially for singing 'The White Cliffs of Dover' for us so brilliantly.
Thank you all so much.

I miss you all loads, especially you Miss Barlow.

Wow, what a blast from the past! I was doing a web search for one of my employees, who is shortly going on an English course in Hastings, and decided to check out Guestling as well. My family emigrated to South Africa in 1974, but I attended Guestling Primary from around 1968 to 1973. We lived at No. 3 Friars Hill Crescent. Mr Griffiths was the headmaster during my time there. I went to Thomas Peacocke before moving to South Africa.
I am now in Saudia Arabia on contract.

It was a pleasure visiting with you! Great website! Just an aside: I went to school with a Debbie Ades. I see that a Natalie Ades has left a message here in the guestbook. Any relation?

Hello to everyone I started with (who have just finished in year 5), I miss Hastings and Guestling Bradshaw a lot. Special message to Mrs Shortman - I'm trying very, very hard and I now have special coloured lenses for my dyslexia, and am beginning to find out just how good books are.

Dear All
Many thanks for the warm welcome I received this morning on my visit to GBS. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and am looking forward to many more and also to meeting more of you!
As you can see I have returned home and checked out the website which is great. I particularly like the section 'about us' and the inclusion of the area surrounding the school. What a lovely part of the world we live in.
Hope to see you all soon. Good luck to Key Stage 2 with your forthcoming production, it sounded great today.

I had 11 happy years teaching at the school from 1956-1967. During that time, I went on teacher exchange to Australia, and my class sent me tape recordings of their activities while I was away. I now live in Mill Hill, NW London, and have retired, but I will never forget my happy years with the school. Keep the flags flying!
