During the years 1942/3, as a young boy, I and my family lived just aross the road from Warnham Court, I went to school in Broadbridge Heath. We had come to live in the area because my father Eric Luffman who worked for the Ministry of Supply was stationed at Warnhan Court. I don't know much about what he did other than he was working with others on the interception of German radio traffic. ...see more
I spent four plus very happy years at Warnham Court School. I was asthmatic (still am) and was sent from London with many other children. The Headmaster was Ernest Savage. I have so many fond memories of my time there. The Young Farmers Club (I was secretary), the tuck shop, the Saturdays in Horsham at the pictures, the dancing, the pantomimes. Everything was just great and most of us ...see more
Hi, my name at my days at Warnham Court was Elizabeth Jones. I was captain of Lewes. I have very fond memories of my there (1963-65). I was given the esteemd position of preparing Mr Savage's toast of an evening for him. I was first in Mr Mackley's calss, then in Miss Bradford's. The guys and girls that I remember being there at the same time as myself are Kathleen Black, Maureen Downey, Derek White, John Riley, Duncan White, Elizabeth Taylor.
Hi
Dad went there when he was about 10 years old, and I think back again at 13-ish, from 1953-1956-ish, I may have got the years slightly out.
My dad, John Fitzpatrick, was telling me all about his memories of this school, does anyone remember him? He recalls having amazing times and getting up to all sorts. Again, as others have said, lots of kids went there from London, any memories of meeting him appreciated or knowing him or other teachers at that time.
I was at Warnham Court school from 1957 to 1961. I was in Lewes House, my friends at school were Christine Morley, Richard Cook, Pauline Mcmaun and Wendy Hart. I would love to hear from anybody that was there. My name was Alice Marsh.
I was in Larch dorm, the team house was Arendal. At that time we had a wonderful teacher called Miss Alllen, I think she married the teacher at the time who looked after the
young farmer, I think his name was Mr Woodcook. We sat at dinner next to Mr and Mrs Savage, our table was on the left.
My very close mate was Terry Bellamy who very sadly passed away when we had a ...see more
I have read a memory on this website of someone who was sent to Warnham Court as a child but does not really know why. I was sent there under identical circumstances. So like this other contributor I would be very interested to know the actual reason for children being sent there and what role Warnham Court played. I know there were three houses known as Arundel, Bodium and Lewes. I can't ...see more
I was priviledged to teach at Warnham Court School 1966-7. We spent a lot of time exploring the countryside and doing pond dipping - getting out wellies good and wet! The students in my class found writing difficult but we wrote books and poems.It was my first year of teaching and I found the days long - from breakfast supervision to lights out' on the dormitory floor. I can still remember the ...see more
My name is Pearl and surname was Huntley when I was at Warnham Court. The memories of my two terms there are of a magical place with deer and llamas and a HUGE fat black cat called Dina or Dino. I played the part of Aladin in a big production panto at the school around 1960 or 1961. I will try to find the one and only photo I had taken. I recently took a detour to look at the place now and it still invoked wonderful memories of the time I spent there.
