When Winston was eight years old his parents enrolled him at St. George’s boarding school. He wrote to his parents and said he was happy there but actually he hated it and did not do well at all.

When he was ten years old his parents removed him from St. George’s and went to Brighton School. He was much happier there but still did not do so well. He wrote to his parents but they rarely answered them. He visited them during the Christmas holidays. His mum visited him during the school time.

At the age of eleven Winston became very ill. When his parents found out they thought he might die and went straight over to see him.

Jack ChurchillJack Churchill is Winston’s younger brother. The two of them were very close. Like Winston, he was a brave solider. He was married to Gwendeline and they had one daughter.

Gwendeline ChurchillGwendeline was Winston’s sister-in-law. Gwendeline gave her first set of paints to Winston because he suffered from depression and she thought it would take his mind of things.

Clementine ChurchillClementine was Winston’s wife. He proposed to her

but, nearly lost his chance because she was going to

move back to London. They remained happy until

Winston died in 1965.

Lord Randolph ChurchillLord Randolph Churchill was Winston’s dad. He was

American. Lord Randolph learnt that his son was not

that intelligent enough to be come a lawyer and that

he wanted him to be in the army.

Jennie Churchill

The price of greatness is responsibility.

A joke is a very serious thing.

Never, never, never, give up.

It is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
