- but what I'm after is any amusing stories or comments
about the following people: Jonathan Davies; Paul Fell;
Tom Jerrold; Simon Mears; Tom Rowlands; John Taylor;
Andrew Webb; Tristan West. On my last day of school, I
took a tape recorder to school and recorded various
pupils and teachers of the day. I've now compiled a CD of
it and would like to send copies to some of the stars! If
Jon Cullum, Darren Wilson, Charlotte Matthews, Emma Reid,
Hannah Slayney, Ian Hannam and Louise Scriven are out

let me know. Cheers.

5th year: 1985; U6th : 1988. very informative website.
Many thanks to all those who laboured to set it up. The
excellence of KLB's reputation is a product of
hard-working students, teachers and support staff.
Remember KLB is a school and should publicise learning in
all walks of life. Regardless of what 'new' Labour says,
don't ever let any form of state education be beholden to
the short-term needs of business and profit. That would
betray the whole ethos that KLB says it has ever stood
for! On a more personal note, can I just thank the
efforts of all the teachers who taught me - in particular
Mrs B Knights; Mr P Griffin; Mr J Lloyd and Mrs Gower.
Regards to you all.

Well I left what seems like a very long time ago (1989 -

Ahh... yes... KLB. In truth I had a lot of fun there, but
now I wish I worked a bit... ok... a lot harder. I went on to
Stroud College, then Uni., now I work as a writer. But as

Ex. pupil - left 1994. I was the fourth generation of my
family to attend KLB. I still miss the school now! Fond
memories include the friendly teachers, bunsen burner and
test tube fires, food fights in the first year pen and Mr
Law's thought-provoking assemblies. We would all go
silent when he entered the room! After KLB I did a degree
in History and got a 2.1. I am now a news reporter for
The Citizen. So any news...! PS - I was told I was to
receive a commendation for my hard work in the second
year and did not get it. I have the proof in my report!
Any chance of a belated one as I did not get one in all
my years there despite coming top in my exams!!!!
