To the lady from reception who left a voicemail message this morning about Ben...thank you very much for the update. Regards...Darren

Just wanted to say 'hello' to those of you that remember me - I have been looking at the lovely photos of the fireworks, something I remember about being at Balfour. Look forward to visiting soon, Roma

So when will updates be added to the site? I want to see pictures of my kids and their school friends enjoying themselves now, not 8 months ago. Come on, otherwise, what's the point of having it???

i used to go here 4 years ago.Hello mrs hassan shana x x x x x x

I used to go here now am in year 5 at Balfour Juniors my brother goes here he is in year 1 in kingfishers. Nice school but they need more computors at Balfour Juniors we have a whole classroom with computors and a smartboard and if your lucky a computor in your classroom as well not 2 to each class like you do. nice friendly atmosphere at your school as well. I dont like the train and boat colours in the top playground they look unfriendly! Say hi to Mrs Hasan, Mrs Tugwell and Mrs Gamasti(I never had Mrs G but my brother has here now and likes her so i lkie her to)! I miss BI (balfour infants) enjoy your tine here and use it wisely it goes really quickly!

I was a pupil at Balfour Infants School twenty nine years ago. (1979 -1982) It was lovely to see your website and photo's of the school as it is today. It brought back some wonderful memories. I was also able to show my own 6 year old daughter where I went to school.

used to come here i am now yr 5 at hertford like the web site

We would like to say a big thank you to Miss Gumaste and Mrs Adams for the fantastic performance at Dance at the Dome on Wednesday night (28 March). The children were absolutely brilliant and appeared to have a great time. Obviously a lot of hard work time and effort had been in not only by the children but the teachers and support staff as well! THANK YOU

I would like to say thank you to Ms Clynick,Mrs Ledward and Mrs Callister. I will really miss you.

Hello everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i LOVE THE WEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you Ms Clynick. Your a great Teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, everyone at Balfour! We live in the USA but our nephew attends Balfour Infant School. We really enjoy your colourful, informative website. It's a great way to keep up to date with all the interesting things he is learning in school. Our nephew had a very enjoyable year in Nightingales last year, and he is now in Linnets which he also loves. It's been lovely to see pictures of him and his classmates, participating in the various activities. We visited the school recently, while on holiday, and got a real feel for the school and the teachers. We were very impressed with the friendly atmosphere, the lovely surroundings and the efficiency with which the school is run. We are very hapy that our nephew is growing and learning in such a positive, caring environment. Keep up the good work on the website and thank you for providing this facility for us!

i really liked balfour inf sch im now in year5 any teacher who reads this tell miss hassan that she was the best from conrad hartnoll in yr 1

I Like having Miss Hassan as my teacher.

I really miss going to Balfour Infant School

I think the website is really good!

I am in Sparrows, and I just wanted to say that, thanks to Mrs Lovell, I can now count to 20, and write my name in full. I must say that I am still adjusting to my school life as I am only four and half. Happy new year to you all.

I would like to thank mrs.lecky,mrs.Harrioson and mrs.stewart for helping me with my work andhelping me to lern lots more.Bye!Emily.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello Balfour Infants! I just wanted to say that I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I wish I could be there to see your Christmas shows, we always had such good fun doing them. Roma Newell

Competition answer - The photo is of the snakes tongue in the front playground.

I think the website looks brilliant! I loved being able to see what has been going on in Swans class. Tom and I think the only improvement you could make would be to add a games/puzzle type section

I think your web site is very informative, and well constructed. However, I think more photos would make it more interesting. My son's teacher Mrs Trudy Lovell, is great and Parsa seems to like her very much. Thank you Mrs Lovell.

Behrous.

i like looking at the photos

I have been looking at lots of different schools, and this school has definately stood out the most ! a lovely website and really gives you a true feel for the school and children. my son is 2 1/2 and i will be moving to the area in the next three weeks, from what i have seen so far i would love my son to join this school, i feel i might be a little early in doing this, but i have been advised that you do put there names doen as early as this, he will be due to start 2008.
So thankyou for such an enjoyable site

I am a teacher at an International School in São Paulo, Brasil and I really enjoyed visitng your school site. Great work with the tiles!!

I would like to say thank you to Ms Ledward and Mrs Taylor, Mrs Holkam and Mrs Roberts in Linnets Class for making school so much fun. I wish everyone a very happy Summer holiday and I hope everyone has lots of fun. From Grace Hill, aged 6, Linnets Class.

Hello Mrs. Biggs, sorry for the delay. It was that I had a lots of homework to do.The name of my new school is Colegio Ingles de Talca, that means English School of Talca. My school receives children (boys and girls) from 4 to 17 years old. I have new friends and their names are Nicolas, Joaquin, Pablo, Domingo and Carlos. I am doing great at school, especially maths, english and science.
Are you happy working there?
We are starting winter here and soon we will have our winter holidays (2 weeks off). I can't wait. Now I'm working on a project about how to do a magnet because I want to do a floating car.
I hope to hear from you soon. My mom and dad say hi.
bye bye,
Tomas

good work everyone at the cartoon contest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful website! It's lovely to see the new class pages and cartoon competition - well done to everyone who works so hard on the site to keep it up to date and interesting.

the website is real,great fun.

I think it's great and I think the people that helped should be proud.

I think that the website is really good and is evolving too, which is wonderful: one suggestion is that you have a 'parents' section, and include adverts for / links to parents own businesses: I don't have my own business but I know that I would prefer to use a supplier who was 'in the Balfour community' if I had the chance - for anything from home repairs to holidays. This would act as an extension of the 'classifieds' area on the school newsletter, but could include any type of business, not just those which would necessarily lend themselves to a classified ad, and could be broken down by category. The 'advertiser' could write a small bit about themselves/their business, and the link could be part of this. I wonder if other parents think that this would be a good idea?

I liked the jokes page the most, they were really funny!

To us non IT folk it's just magic. Congratulations to all involved in making the site look so attractive and professional.

Excellent web-site. Well done to all those involved.

Very nice updated web site - well done...top marks!

I think the website is great, and I love looking at my class photos and seeing my friends

I liked seeing a photo of my teacher.

I like seeing my school on the internet, especially the Robins class. Its so colourful!

I really love looking at the website and am going to look at it again. I like looking for pictures of my friends.

i like the web site because its about Balfour Infants school, which is my school

I really like this website. I enjoyed reading the jokes with Mum and looking at pictures of my friends.

Fantastic school!!! Best infant school in Brighton in my opinion. Many years ago this used to be my school. Now I am in year 10 starting my GCSEs and I have many fond memories of the place. Also It enabled me to achieve the grades I have. Year 9 SATS - English 6, Science 7 (highest in my year), Maths 8 (again highest in my year); the average levels for all these is 5. I am now predicted all A's and A*'s at GCSE. I am certain I would not have achieved these had it not been for Balfour Infant and Balfour Junior. If you are a parent of a child in this school I can not stress just how lucky you are to be able to give your child this opportunity.

I'm really pleased with our new bright and colourful web site. Well done everyone who has worked on it !

The website is very very nice and very good. I am proud of the school.

Fantastic website. Liked the pictues of the children on the home page. Well done everyone! Had problems getting onto the site initially. had to use a different search engine. Maybe we read it incorrectly, but is the website address different to the information that was given to the children at the launch of the new website. Could not find the full school year diary of inset days and holidays. It only seems to go up to December.
JG: hi yes the system will redirect to the new web site, when you put in the the existing link. we are looking at making this seemless. Also will fill out the rest of the years dates as we approach the end of term

I liked the picture with all the birds in it, and I was excited to see a photo of my friend, Ellie, on the Herons page.

I thought it was great fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked the kids zone -Klara
Well done! You've obviously worked really hard and the site is great - Sarah

I really enjoyed looking at everything.

We loved seeing our classroom on the internet.

Congratulations on the new website - it looks great. A vast improvement on the previous one.

I think the new website is great fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the new web site and especially seeing all my frinds at school.

I liked it when I spotted myself in a picture!

Fantastic website. A lot of work has gone into it. Congratulations!!!

Don't know if other Mac users are experiencing the same problems. Can't seem to read any of the text on the menu. Apart from that the overall look is great.
FROM JG: Ok we will look into it

What a transformation - it looks great! I'm sure it's going to be really useful. Rachel really enjoyed showing it off to us this evening. Well done and thanks to James et al.

we think the new website is brilliant. Our favourite joke was Maya's. I'm in swallows. Chelsea are the best!!

its cool
