Left Painsley in '92, ended up at Keele Uni and got a Physics degree. Now test software for a company in Congleton. Would be interested in hearing from anyone I went to school with since I have lost touch with most of them.

Scary coincidence - My boss is called Pete Challinor !!!!@*

It was a complete building site for all five years, but when i look at it now, i feel proud to have gone. i had a brill time at painsley, and the teachers gave me so much support. to any perspective parents, there's not really anywhere better!!! (that'll be £5 please tunney!!! thanx to mr challinor (for being mad!!) thanx to mr weatherby (for keeping memories of the pies alive!!). it was great that you were such a good sport to me and caz through those difficult RE lessons!! thanx to mrs Allen and Mrs O' Neill for believing all those excuses i gave to get out of PE!!! thanx to Mr Barry for being a star and helping me to get one (my only A*) thanx to mr leese for allowing me to fulfill my potential in tech anyway, i sound like i'm at the oscars!! i'd love to keep in touch with anyone who went to painsley at that time because i went onto pastures new this year and went to thomas alleyne;s in uttoxeter. not sure what else to say, but thanx for some of the best times of my life, i really feel it made a difference to me xxxx

Attended Painsley from '76 - '81, when Mr Chandler ruled the roost, Joe Malkin headed Becket and Mr (biddy) Baxter had a sign outside the music room door which read 'gone Chopin, Bach soon' Would love to hear from anyone of that era who remembers me (small, good-looking, cheeky kid). It's 20 years since I left but discovering this website has transported me back big time - I can almost smell the boiled cabbage and feel the crack of the house masters cane for having too many demerits - those were the days!

I attended Painsley from around 1979 to 1984 and I now live in London working freelance in IT. Just wanted to say thanks to all the staff there - especially Joe Malkin for his enthusiasm in the days when we had one computer between the whole class. How times have changed! Also Hi to the "original" Phil Weston... If you want to see what others from Painley are doing, check out www.friendsreunited.co.uk Would be interested to hear what anyone is up to!
