We're researching the history of our school and we hope to write a book! We're looking for people to tell us your stories and memories of life at East Oxford Primary School, or about childhood in the local area.

We hope that people will be able to write a few paragraphs about their memories. It would also be great if you could send us any photos - perhaps one of yourself as a child to accompany your story, and any photos you may have of your time at school.

How to write something on our site

It's easy. Just click on the image below right, and then add information to the wall.

We are moderating any posts to prevent spam & abuse of the site, so it won't appear to the public straight away.

How to send us photos

If you are able, then you can scan them (high resolution for printing) and then drag the file onto the wall. If you can't do that, then please send them to Russell Kaye, East Oxford Primary School, Union Street, Oxford, OX4 1JP, along with a stamped addressed envelope. We will scan and return!

Some legal stuff

We want to put your memories and photos into print! By adding to this wall, you are accepting that:

(i) Your written work may be used by East Oxford Primary School in a book or electronic publication as part of our research.

(ii) Your photos/images may be similarly used. If you upload photos, these should be because you "own" the original and give us permission to print it. Where the image may belong to someone else (e.g. class photos, newspaper articles), please let us know this so that we can attempt to trace the copyright holder of the photograph.
