on 14 Aug 2011 Sandy Norman said I am writing a history of my area of St Albans.One of our local residents remembers pupils 9girls) from the Ore school being evacuated to St Albans and they went to her school, St Peter's. The teacher that came with them was a Miss Freed, she says. This teacher remained in St Albans and became the headmistress of another local school. Some of the pupils stayed as well. Thought you might be interested.

on 23 Feb 2015 simon poole said My mother attended Red Lake Ore from its opening (I think in 1952) until she left at 15 in 1955. I write this because today (22/02/15) we spoke about her school time and she mentioned Winifred Funnell as being her stern but inspiring head teacher. She also mentioned two female teachers who were in a relationship; quite risqué for the times! I said I'd look on line to see if there were any photos or forums, and here I am. My mother's maiden name, Diana Bennett.

on 09 Apr 2015 Luke Barnes said Ah, this brings back good memories, I remember when the school was like this, I was there from 1991 to 1998, now they have "modernised" it and ruined it in my opinion. But this is a spectacular photograph, I may possibly ask hot to obtain a copy in the future. =)

on 12 Sep 2015 Valerie Brookes (nee Renn) said I was here from early 50's and left in 1957..Headmistress was indeed the very stern but inspiring Winifred Funnel. Miss Thompson was English - Mrs Wisdom was Music - Miss Lance as well as Miss Thompson was French - Miss Willis [who lived on the Ridge] was needlework. There were of course many more but my memory fails with manes although the faces can still be conjured up! [and calling them all Ma'am!]
Happy Days including the Chocolate Crunch at lunch time! -

on 10 Apr 2016 Jane Snook nee Shannon said I have at last found my old school, I was here from 1957 to 59 when I had to move back to London. I remember Mrs. Jobson, I think she took us for maths, Miss Daunt ( I think) for music and Miss Teague was. Form teacher. Can recall so many teachers but can't remember their names. Hated playing hockey out on the freezing hockey field, but happy days.

on 05 Aug 2017 Paul Bridger said The actual school in this photo was, in 1949 till 1953, Red Lake Infants School. One of my teachers was a Miss Sherriff who thought I was "Smashing". The small road to the left of the main road is Red Lake Road as was and the council houses sitting at 5 o/clock to the school was known as second crescent with a footpath through to what was then a field leading over to Mr Fox's smallholding. If you continue down the photo you will come to the Kings Head (John Hills pub) (Star Brewery Eastbourne) we lived opposite. What different times, I used to vault the back fence turn right and after a 5 min walk would be at the school then aged 5years old. I was there till I went to Clive Vale Juniors.

on 24 Feb 2020 Andy Clark said Does any one know if Red Lake Infants was on a different site in the mid 1930s? I am working on my father's memoirs who said that he attended the school in 1934. I wondered if it was originally on the junction of the Ridge, Rye Road and Old London Road in Ore, where there is now a community hall. The Hastings Chronicle logs May 1939 as the laying of the foundation stone. If you can help, that would be great, thank you.

on 18 Apr 2022 Mavis Steel said Like a few others, I’m working on a project for my eldest daughter, which includes a walk down memory lane as a child.
I attended Red Lake School, from 1945 for about 3 years, when I transitioned to Sandown School at the age of 7 years.
The teachers I remember were Miss Sharman, Ms (or was it Mrs.) Hinds, Miss Lamb and Miss Taylor as Head
Mistress. So I’m thinking this school was for ages about 3/4 (Nursery School) to age 7. My sister Hilda began Nursery school there where the children had to have a rest on a cot every afternoon for a period of time.
I have not been able to establish when Red Lake School was built, but it was definitely prior to 1945!!! If anyone needs to contact me, I can be reached at mhills41@telus.net. -

on 17 Dec 2022 lacey said I'm probably the most recent person in these comments to have attended this school, left in 2019, it was a good school when I went there, far as I'm concerned it still is.

on 09 Dec 2023 Michael Cole said People are talking about two different schools. my mother went to Ore Village School in the Village at the bottom of Red Lake Road , beforre the war, I attended Redlake Infant School alongside the black mill from 1945 till 1947/1948 when I transferred to Sandown Primary school in Sandown road (along the level opposite Ashburnham Road) I then went on to Hastings Grammar School in Nelson Road. I can remember having an afternoon nap on a camp bed in a sort of conservatory.I was given a picture of a banana which was on my bedding and cloakroom hook..I have a photograph of a the school percussion band in which i was holding a triangle.i first lived in Winchelsea Road at the top of Rock lane till we moved into one of the council houses built just past the Kings Head......well before the secondary school was built

on 24 Mar 2024 Sharna R said I attended here from about 1998 - 2005 and remmeber a lot of the names mentioned - Mrs Funnel, Ms Whiteman especially! I have memories of mr/mrs Whiteman (i think mrs used to be miss Horsecroft), Ms Forward, Mr Mcmillan, Mrs Brown and more... I am looking to contact Mr (john?) Bonner who taught me in year 4 and my wonderful teaching assistant Miss/Mrs James who, who inspired and supported me in my interests and helped me get into the career i have today working with animals. I would just really love to thank them.
