Well, KNBS has been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. The website looks good and I was surprised to see so many 'old faces' still left among the teachers. Anyone from the 85-90 years around? Didn't see much in the guestbook from that period. "Hi" to anyone that remembers me - get in touch if you want.

Hi.  Adam Nussbaum here.  "Nuzzy." "Yank."  
I attended KNBS from, say... 1989-1993.  If anyone remembers me, feel free to get in touch.  It seems that my favorite teachers, Mr. Hill (English), and Mr. Inman (also English) are not on the staff anymore... Hmmmm... but I am happy to see a website, and as you can see, there would have really been no other way for me to say hello from America, otherwise... or at least not as easily.

I was student between 1987 and 1994.

I have been thinking a lot about KNBS recently so I was extremely please to run across this site. It was nice to see that many of the staff I remember are still teaching at the school (hello Mrs.Newman). I did not have time today, but I will be having a good rummage through the site. From my e-mail address you see whom I work for now - I have been a Government Statistician for four years now.

Thank you all past and present.

I was at KNBS from 1991 - 1996 I started in 2nd yr (now yr8!!!) moved from Harborne Hill school, starting the same yearr as the current Head of school Mr Ian Sonley, be that good or bad, but from day one he knew me by name, thankfully I wasn't that bad he remembered me.
I stayed on in 6th form for a year to do resits spending another yr with my form tutor for i think the 4th year running John Hattersley aka Jack, also i had him for science.
Since being at KNBS Jack will be pleased to know i'm still in the Scout movement. yep now in my 14th yr.
And as it goes for jobs, as most of you started off as a Saturday kid, working up the ladder too superviser  then was let free to run a newsagent for a year or so, then moved to work with on old Manager (which was a bad move), it didn't last long, so now back to square one

Just wanted to say thank you to all from KNBS, for all your help and encouragement (i still cant spell that good, somethings dont change)
If anyone remembers me, hey e-mail me would be good 2 talk 2 old mates
thanx Matt

I've been working as a Graphic Designer for the past 2 years, and will be a Director in a new internet solutions business which starts next next month

Nice to see Robert Flynn is still around

I attend KNBS (about 90-95% of the time, or so my report card stated) between 1990 and 1997, eventually leaving after resetting my first year of A-levels. I then went on to read for a degree in Business, Information Technology, in Birmingham and was awarded a 2nd class Hon's. After temping in stock management at Cadburys and for a Network Call Center. I got a real job April 2001, as a Systems Engineer with Fujitsu Services.

In July of this year (2002) I married Sally Ratley and currently rent part of a house in Bournville. My wife and I are purchasing a property in Northfield Jan 2001 (with a repayment mortgage; my A-Level business studies tutor - Mr. Davis will not doubt be pleased to here).
I'm very much in to cars and have both a pale blue Mk3 Mini Cooper Replica (you my have seen screaming around the place) and my Dad's old Spartan Kit car (currently in pieces, due to an engine blow out last year - opps!).

I'm in regular contact with a lot old friends, including Chris Porter who I give a lift home to after work most days. A big hello to all the teachers who put up with me (one of my fondest memories was getting removed from an A-Level Math's class; for making noises like the aliens in Mars attacks! I think Mr. Moss must have had enough of me that day but I don't think they're where that many year 13's who got thrown out of lessons (don't think that should go on my ROA though). It didn't any effect on my final grade, as I left for University before sitting my Math's exams!

I attended KNBS from 1990 to 1997 and have recently returned from a three-year stint at Portsmouth University (I graduated in June with an upper second class honours degree in geography). My fondest memories of KNBS include the football tour to Holland (I can’t remember the date – in fact there’s a lot I can’t remember), Lynn Fowler’s immortal phrase: “This is like flogging a dead horse” – I think we were the lamest English group she’d ever taught, and Barbara Newman for always insisting that I was a persistent under-achiever. Apologies to Alan Kirsz for testing his patience on more than one occasion and a big “Hello” to anyone who remembers me!
