Re: Has anyone famous visited your school
We had Myleene Klass last year.
Our year 6 leavers production was “I’m a year 6, get me out of here”.
She is apparently good friends with a year 6 child’s parents so they ask if she could come along as a surprise. She turned up in the full gear from when she was on I’m a celebrity, get me out of here..!

Re: Has anyone famous visited your school
Over the years we had Suzanne Dando the gymnast, Jack Straw the Home Secretary at the time who took the time to talk to me, Lord David Owen when the SDP were on the go in the 80s( still the best public speaker i have seen anywhere ), Peter Beardsley, Adi Adepitan the Paralympian, East 17 who despite their appearance were a great bunch of guys. I have also had 2 pupils become famous, Stephen Miller another Paralympian who went to 5 Paralympics and started at my school who employed person to be his helper, that helper became my wife. The other one is a guy called Dan Burn who now plays for Newcastle United

We have a parent who has appeared in a number of tv shows - just a normal down to earth bloke with no airs and graces. Off the top of my head, the secondary school I attended as a pupil produced a GB athlete (400m and 4x400m relay), and had a teacher who was an international rugby union referee

No one at my current school that I can think of, at my last school the new building was opened by Princess Anne. I went to school with a guy who went on to play Rugby Union for England.

Re: Has anyone famous visited your school
Stretching the point a good few years ago we had the author Alan Dapré who wrote Brum and he brought the car with him the kids were amazed that the car drove itself, not taking any notice of the other man with a controller in his hand. Jacoline Wilson ( Tracey beaker author )came and read some of her new book at the time. And I don't think it counts Kevin Ball local lad turned professional footballer came into the school not for the kids but to see his sister my wife to ask if she new when their parents would be home so he could see them before going back to Sunderland ( kids didn't have a clue who he was but still wanted his autograph).

Re: Has anyone famous visited your school
My old school had Alistair Cook visit to open a new block.
He was absolutely class. The Head made me cordon off a disabled parking bay right next to the school for him. He refused and parked in the back car park with everyone else.
Him and his missus were among the last to leave, chatted to everyone for ages.
Great guy.
