i first started griffin in 87 when i was in the nursery, i still remember my first day. My biggest memory is when it was play time and i used to run around the weeping willow tree in the playground I left griffin in1995 to go to secondary school. Been a student at griffin was a very happy time for me and i still miss it to this day, wish i could come back.

i think this school is the best i've been to up to now it has great classrooms and lots of playing space, i would give this school a 10 out of 10!

This school is the best
i go to this school and everybody is nice to you so look at our school tour then you will see what it looks like.

This school is the best school in the world I even go here .when i go into my lessons i am always exited. you always have friends to play with so you are not on your own.
My favroite subject is art because you get to do exiting things.

I have now been headteacher at Griffin for eight months and am having a great time! We are so lucky to have a great building to work in, such hardworking staff and fantastic children.

I was so shocked to hear about the fire at the school over the easter weekend, It is really sad to hear. I hope the school is back to normal soon, as i cant wait to return on tuesday. I think all the teachers are wonderful in pulling together in the clean up. Griffin is a great school.

Well it has been a long time since i was a pupil at this wonderful school, 1995 was my leaving year. I recently came back to Griffin as part of my University course. I spent my time with Mrs Storr and staff in the nursery department. It was wonderful and i learnt so much. Thank you to everybody for making me feel welcome again. Griffin primary is a wonderful school and i have many happy memories of it.

I HAVE HAD A GREAT 6 YEARS AND I AM GOING TO MISS ALL THE BRILLIANT TEACHERS THAT HAVE TAUGHT ME AND I AM GOING TO MISS ALL MY FRIENDS THAT ARE NOT GOING TO THE SAME SCHOOL AS ME AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A BIG GOODBYE TO MR GREEN XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I have now finished my SATs and waiting for the results but i don't want to leave this school but i can't waitto go to archbishop thurstan secondry school

iam now in the process of doing my SATs in the last years i have really enjoyed the school.

The school is really good but now were doing our year 6 SATs.Today we did a science test.

We like our pretty school! We do lots of interesting things. We love our classroom!

i used 2 come here and i miss it alot!! i miss all the teachers 2. especially mr goodwin. its a great school.

Lucy thought they should of been more pichers of all the staff. The web site was Exelant the portraits were good. I thought the picher of miss Mathews was brilliant. And who ever drew the picher of Mr goodwin was Exelant. They should of been a picher of all the children in the school and staff in the uppers and add more pichers.

Hi I am samantha I am in miss garmstons class and what i thought of the school web site is the pictures are excellent?WELLDONE to the people that did them welldone to all the teachers at griffin pramary well done to mr dook the computer helper at griffin the web site is brill?there is not 1 thing i would change about this web site?

i enjoyed looking at the website the pictures are all really good i'll be back

i have tried to download the gainsborough old hall pictures many times but nothing is happening????

your school was and still is the best i miss u lots love Heather

Brilliant website. I went to that school when it was northcott/griffin. Well done to Mr Dook (Ed. Many changes since then I'm sure you will agree).

i think it would be great if you would add to the links ,any sites a class are working from as my children often tell me they went on this great site at school today but they cannot remember what its called ?
GREAT IDEA FOR GETTING HOMEWORK DONE !!!! (Ed. I have to agree. Some will be going up soon:-)

Remember me? This was my primary school!!!! I loved it here!! I've been looking at the 'school tour' and the whole school looks so different!! I love the new improved hall

the website is great luke told me about every picture on the page!!!!
it would be nice to see more pictures of the schools outings, and the teachers (come on dont be shy???)
luke said he wants his picture on the website??? (Ed. I have to agree about more pictures but of teachers, I doubt it. They are very shy!)

the teachers are really kind my favs are mrs furniss & mrs simpson

Hello again. I thought it was about time someone added something to this site as the last time was back in January. Perhaps more people would visit again if we thought of something completely different to put on it? (Ed. I quite agree Mrs Rockett and more work will be going on before the summer holidays. Many Thanks)

I think there should be photos of all the teachers
I think the website should be up-dated to show off the new i.c.t. suite which my family and I think is brilliant (Ed. It is brilliant and will be updated very soon. As for pics of teachers, they are very shy)

Very impressive website. It would be nice to see more photo's of the children in school.

whenever i come to this website it becomes more interesting and i never want to leave the school......NEVER!!!

Love the school site wish there was more pictures of teachers

the website is excellant i wish i could go back to school but i am a bit too old now and i think i would break the chairs!!!!!

i like my school and my favourite two lessons are history and numeracy, my sister Kiera enjoys going to our nursery, and cant wait to start school when she is five, we both enjoy learning, and I enjoy my library and book club,

we like the school trips. our favorite was THE DEEP

We liked looking at the web site and we are going to ask our mums to look at it tonight when they are in school for open night.
We liked the teachers' pictures best, especially the one of Mr Goodwin.

i think school is great, my favourite lessons are hand writing and art . I think the website is intresting and exiting.

thought the pictures were good especially mr goodwin. Could do with more pictures of staff and kids.

WE LOVED GRIFFIN AND WERE SAD ABOUT LEAVING!!!!!

I think my school is quite good and I enjoy school trips!!!!!!!!!

I have just been looking at the guestbook again and am a little disappointed to discover that there have been hardly any entries recently, especially as the website has been updated and has a lot more information than before. Why not take a look at the clubs and other activities that are available at Griffin, look and see what the children have been doing recently and perhaps make suggestions for further activities that you think may be popular.

i love the web site so much but would like to see some photos or drawings of the sponsered bounce please.

Jason said that he liked all the pictures on the web site. Robert liked the drawings of the teachers. Victoria liked exploring the web site. Some of the children thought that it could be improved by adding photographs next to the drawings of the teachers. The children also thought that it might be a good idea to show photographs of the children working in their lessons.

i thaught your website was quite interesting,but, i think you should display more of the childrens pictures in the gallery section,one picture per year is rather a waste.

I think the web site is fine, but I enjoy looking at the guest book the most to see who has been visiting the site, and to read their comments.

i thought it was good but should be more work

We looked at the web site altogether and we thought Mr Goodwin's portrait was really good. Ellie thought Mr Longbone looked like Tony Blair!

i think the web site was great , all the best for the future happy webbing

I thought the site was really good and the picture of Mr Coulton was excellent.

The site is good but I was very annoyed that there isnt a picture of all the upper school teachers in a group together

I thought the website was really good but the only thing that was bad was that when I looked on staff it only brought pictures up (not photos drawn pictures)

Went on website at home on Sunday night. Very impressed made me want to come to school on Monday morning.

Considering I couldnt see all the website eg staff photos of what I saw of it I think its o.k . p.s bet you can still remember me I can still remember you.

I think it is very exciting to see our school on the web and that other people can see how lovely our school is.

I enjoyed looking on your site me and the family went though everything its great

Excellent website which is well planned and easy to use.
Some really good pictures.

It was not great as I was not able to look at the pictures of the staff.

I LIKED THE DISPLAYS AND THE PICTURES OF THE SCHOOL.

What a great idea! Scott and I really enjoyed looking at this site he was able to explain everything to me which kept him interested.

I enjoyed looking at the site. The staff pictures were great.

I thought the home page was very good and the way you have put the things about us
and it is good that you added the dates on for the term.
I liked the way you have done the school tour it is brilliant, the things in the gallery are the things i did when i was there.
p.s. i think they should do one of these for every school.

I really enjoyed the site.
