Comments: Hi to anyone that knows or remembers me. I left KLB in 1992. OMG can't believe it's been 15 years now, 13 of which have been spent in the Army. Postings to Germany, N Ireland and tours in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq (current location, dodging the rockets and mortars). Some people may remember either of my brothers Jonathan Maule (left KLB 1991) or Christopher Maule (left KLB about 2002, I think). Both are doing well. Well anyway, hi to everyone there and take care... Si.

Would like to thank all of my teachers during that time, but particularly Miss Vale, Mr Foster and Mr Lloyd for being so inspirational. After leaving KLB I completed a Geography degree at Birmingham Uni, followed by an MA in Bristol. I now work as a town planner in North Yorkshire. Still in touch with several old school friends, including Marie Orchard, Helen Wilkins, Trudy Durn (now Kelly) and Marion Dillow - riot gurruls?!?!)

Comments: Great site KLB. I have to wonder though, Is there anyone there now that can throw a piece of chalk across a classroom with the accuracy of Mr Lee? If there is then a word of advice to you. DON'T DO IT!! I'm currently hiding under the guise of Group Health & Safety Manager for a multi-franchise car & motorcycle company in East Anglia. Your web site brought back some memories. Some even made me smile. Good luck to you all past present & future. Regards from a child of the eighties.

Comments: Hi, there. I teach languages at a school in Scarborough. Sadly, I shall be teaching French only from next September as the other two languages are highly likely to disappear. It was nice to find your website which I rate highly and useful to link to the activities in the languages section. I hope to learn enough one day to be able to write my own, but at the moment I cannot do that. Keep the flag flying. Peter Helliwell.
