Hi i am a former pupil at Worsborough high i left in 1982 i have just found the web site and the School has improved greatly since i was there, i moved away from barnsley so i didnt know of the changes

Just thought I would leave a message and wish the school the best of luck for the future and I am glad I attended the school as I got alot out of it in the end. Thanks :)

This school was a rite laugh, i left in 2006! n ill never forget it, we were best year thats ever been to that school gonna miss ya all loadz luv yaz x x xx

I was an student of the elmhirst school, i know you don't remeber me, but i still remember you all, it was the best school i had ever. I am the boy from southamerica Colombia, you can tell pouline booth from the library and she can tell you about me, or you can ask mr hunter and others teacher.

I was a pupil at the school from 1996 to 2001!! I have very fond memories of everyone I wish the best to the new school!! Its gone through so many changes over the last few years hopefully this change will last!! I would just like to thank Mr Andy Tagger as if it wasnt for his inspirational lessons i wouldnt be where i am now and that is at The Arden School Of Theatre one of the most respected northern Drama Schools! SO listen to everything you are taught as it is all vauble information!
Good Bye The Elmhirst, Good Luck Barnsley Academy

I was at Worsbrough High from 1960-1964 I went into the coal industry and worked for 24 years and then went overseas to work since then I have worked in the Russian Federation and have just come back after 8 years in Ghana west Africa and Ethiopia. I came past the school the other day and was surprised at the changes made and often wonder how other people who were ther at the same time are doing now if any are out there please feel free to contact.

i miss all my friends and all the teachers have been excellent
thank you for making me part of the elmhirst for the year and a half i was there.
i am now at barnsley college after leaving last year and i hope to come back to visit before the end of june

I left 'White Cross' to go to college in 1973. As an Assistant Headteacher working in a large Liverpool school, I would like to congratulate all the current staff on their hard work in making the school a success again.

Hi, I am now retired and a grandfather. I still often reflect on my day's White Cross School from 1948 to 1953, I was not that bright in those day's, often came bottom of D class,along with The Arthur Scargill, Still remember Miss Johnson, Mr Lumley, and the cane of Mr Hildreth (headmaster) Still have the Bible I was given on leaving school. Easter 1953. Keep up the Good work, I turned out fine eventually even became a Baptist Pastor. God's richest blessings to you all. Michael Porter, New Zealand.

hiaaaaaaa how yall doin hope i get all the grades i want guna miss this place its been the hardest, the scarest and thebest place ever cya yall luv ya xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I used 2 be a pupil but left in 2001 the school is making lots of changes and its fantastic 2 see the school is going 2 stay open just a shame Mr Osbourne isnt here 2 enjoy the changes.

What excellent times we had at Worsbrough High School. Mr Lavelle was the headmaster, and he led brilliantly. We had our moments - ambushing Kendray's coach after a certain football game, sneaking into the Dalesman if we could get away with it. But... in all honesty, i enjoyed the schooling at White Cross, and as a result here i am running my own business in London for the third consecutive year.
By the way; whatever happened to 'the bumps'?

i wanna say i miss all the teachers at elmhirst
i am at barnsley college now
miss u all

Im supossed 2 b in year 11 in elmhirst but i had 2 leave now i dont only miss the skool but i wanna b there I love that skool n the people on it n i hope that 1 day i can go there 4 a visit

I was a pupil at this school 1981 - 1986 - when it was Worsbrough High (or White Cross as it was known then), And Mr Lavelle was head. Had many good times here. Cant believe how the school has changed. There were no steel fences back then, times change I suppose.

The schools results improved greatly. Well done, I'm pleased luke and nadia did well. good for them

I don't go to the skool but av heard about it's reputation and it's gettin loads better n a can't believe it's even got its own site lol the sites alrite tho. keep up the good work.
p.s you should get some more recent photos up and add all the teachers photos for non-members of the school. :D still gr8 tho, well dun.

ar skool is really gd n its a gd place 2 hang out n meet mates i think tina is doin a good job n shes always there 4 us!!!!

i love school (even maths)

our skool ids propa good tha shuld all gu 2 it coz its just da best skul in da world lol

r skul is mintus i think its best skul goin any otha skul wud b rubbish but rs is cool n how else wud i b able t c all mi m8s

I think our school is really good and I cant wait for the new academy to be built.

I had a late start at school but since ive been there ive really enjoyed myself and met lots of new friends and learn't a lot and its all down 2 the teachers.

I didnt want to come to the school as I had heard about its reputation and the results but I am really glad I came and I wouldnt change anything at all

Hiya our skool is great we have a right laugh so everyone come to Elmhirst

The School Is Very Nice And The Students Are Friendly And Helpful, Keep Up The Good Work :D

I attended this school from 1979-85 and I amazed to see mention of teachers on the site from the days when I was there. I know the school has changed a lot, but how proud you must feel to have your names remembered 20 years down the line as people who bought education to life. It's quite scary really, there cannot be many employment opportunities out there that offer the opportunity for such fame.
Best wishes
Maria

heya! i think the schools improving alot & it as been alot better in our lessons!

I have just spent 7 days in the school after being told all the pupils were as bad as bad as they come i was was very pleased that i was lied to . All who i came across were helpful ,polite and a little cheeky but no worse than in any other school in Barnsley keep up with all the hard work you are doing.

Just wanted to say the school is looking great! I wanted to let people know i've moved to Liverpool and am currently studying for my A Levels, I'm looking to do Theology at uni and wanted to thank everyone who helped me along the way and for pushing me to be who I am today.

Best Wishes and God bless xxx

Hi Everyone

Can i just say i really miss you lot sometimes.

Please don't forget me

Hi we are in our computing class just looking at the site (not doing any work as usual) it looks cool thanx to everyone who helped us. Mrs Randall, Miss Garrett, Julie and Barbra couldn't have got here without ya.

BOO-YA and RESPECT STAY COOL

Would just like to say that it seems like the school is improving from when I was there and its just a shame that something like this wasnt up and running a long time ago its an excellent idea to have something like this so that even pupils who have left can keep a tab on what you are doing without the daunting aspect of actually returning to school. And I know I still cant get the hang of making my sentences shorter and ending in an appropriate place without rambling on again first.

Thanks to all my teachers.

Would also just like to say a special Thankyou to my Year 11 form tutor Mrs Randall and my mentor Mr Farmer for all the support and understanding you gave me in my final year no matter how big a strop I got into.

The school is getting better.

The site shows great potential. I like the general lay-out and the ease of use & access and the excellent use of photographs.

Well done.

Vernon Goddard - Governing Body.

I think the school is improving

A lot of the teachers probably remember me especially Mrs Bradbury, I was a bit of a problem child, which i regret, I just want to say im sorry to them all and thank them for making me the person I am today, i'm really am grateful and I never thought id say it but I miss school a lot, even though they know it Mrs Bradbury was an inspiration to me, no matter how bad I was, how rude I got , she never gave up on me an for that I love her dearly, Mr Tagger whenever I said ''I cant dot it'' he used to say ''theres no such word as cant Kelly you CAN do it'' and I always did it.

Mrs Parnham my form teacher when I was 11e in 2002, was always tryin to get me doing charity work an always telling me I was better than the immature ones , an all the certificates I got for the charity really helped me in getting jobs, Mrs Parnham has a heart of gold.

I could go on forever about the teachers an how they influenced me but I wont, if you are reading this and are a student at that school now then, please treasure your teachers an the things they say an do cos later in life you will regret it if you dont, I wish you all well, take care xxx
