This website was originally conceived simply to record
the reunion held at the school on 20th June 1998 for
former pupils of its 60 year's history. The website
focused on a particular group of pupils since we were
the ones who started it.
However, since that time, it has expanded and we now
have pupils registered from eight decades!
Although the website has been re-designed for mobile devices,
the site is best viewed on a laptop or desktop PC as some of the
photos are wider than a tablet or phone screen.
This site is not a commercial undertaking but all information submitted
is updated as soon as possible and treated with confidentiality (see
the privacy policy by clicking on it at the bottom of this page).
So please feel free to send in your news, contact details or any
memory of your time at William Torbitt. From the Post Bag or
Memories pages you can input your own thoughts. The interest
generated has been greater than we ever imagined so join us now to
make this site a comprehensive record of William Torbitt School.
Many contributors think that Pauline and Geoff work side by side
(literally) on this project. In fact Geoff is in Essex and Pauline is in
Somerset! Although we act as a team, Geoff is the one who contacts
former pupils/staff, putting them in touch with each other, collating
information etc. and Pauline deals with the website. Please bear this
in mind when you contact us.
Thanks go to those who have sent in donations towards the hosting of
this site. It is not, as so many think, funded by either by the school or
the Local Education Authority - how nice if it were! The site is funded
solely by the voluntary efforts of myself and Geoff Gillon, together with
those who have sent in donations - see our Sponsors Page.
It actually does cost money to keep the site running - there is an
annual web hosting fee plus all the time spent in keeping it updated -
so ANY CONTRIBUTIONS, HOWEVER SMALL, TOWARDS THE
WEB HOSTING COSTS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!! Even if
it's just a pound coin in an envelope it would help! Scroll down to find
contact details
Thank you
Registrations, memories and postbag and other updates are carried
out by volunteers and may be delayed.
Thank you for your patience.
If you send email, please ensure that "WILLIAM TORBITT" is in the
subject line so that your mail does not get caught in a spam trap.
IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED SPAM EMAIL WITH WILLIAM TORBITT AS A
RETURN ADDRESS BE ASSURED IT IS NOT FROM OUR IP ADDRESS.

Hi all
I have been administering and hosting this website
for the past 20 years(!) and it's been a pleasure.
However, the time has come for a younger person to
take on the job.
I'm looking for a volunteer who is a web designer
with their own server access. I say 'volunteer' since
there is no payment for the work (which takes up
very little time) and the site is currently hosted on a
server which is paid for by my commercial hosting
customers so there is no funding for hosting.
The site is currently built around an MS Access
database which keeps tabs on the contact details of
those registered and the identifications in photos
and the photo information. The database queries
were built when I was a novice so may appear
clumsy but they work. There's nothing to say that
this system is carved in stone so any system which
will do the same job would be fine.
So, if you think you would be interested and have the
necessary skills then please get in touch. It's not
that I don't want to do it any more - just that I feel a
younger person could take the website into the
future. I'll be around to help if needed.
regards
Pauline
Google Earth has mounted a number of areas of imagery from 1946 and 1947. Greater London is included and so is Newbury Park.
The school is quite clear and there are some interesting features, like AA emplacements in parks and some gaps where bomb sites
persisted. The clarity is not up to the recent standards, of course, but the historical record is good to have so easily.
