For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Melksham Oak School, Melksham, Wiltshire

UPDATE - July 2010. The school has just opened; I had a chance to have a guided tour and you can see some pictures [here]

[imgl=melksham_oak_community_school]Melksham Oak Community School[/img]Melksham Oak Community School is due to open in the summer of 2010 - the signs have just gone up in early May (as I write), and it's almost complete. Just a "g" is needed in the wording "Technology College"...

We get a lot of phone calls at Well House asking for Melksham Oak.
Their new details are ... Melksham Oak Community School, Bowerhill,SN12 6QZ ... 01225 792 700


Are you Looking for the school's web site?... it is here

[imgr=melksham_oak_may_2010]The Oak Tree[/img]This is the oak tree after which "Melksham Oak Community School" is named; it stands just inside the entrance gate ...

A new secondary school for Melksham - "Melksham Oak" - is under construction, and is due to open to replace the George Ward School in 2010. It will be know - its full title - Melksham Oak Community School.

Map locator - Melksham_Oak


The "Oak" in the name comes after an old Oak tree which is in the corner of tge site ... curently with a load ob builder's barriers around it, and I would suspect that's to ensure that the tree really is still there when the school opens.

The site is well protected with a high hedge (but being winter, it is possible to see through it - if not to photograph through it with branches in the way. Here's a view taken "through the keyhole" - almost literally if only you knew!

Melksham Oak is on the opposite side of town to the George Ward School which it will replace, but I can't fault it for the new siting - here's a picture taken just across the way of the recently expanded Bowerhill area:
