What we are looking for: your memories, photographs and reports

The archive is strong on the 1930s and thin on everything since. We would like to fix that before July.

The school archive has the founding minutes, the first admissions register and a good run of photographs up to about 1955. After that it thins out badly. There is almost nothing from the 1970s, and the 1990s are represented by four photographs and a hockey fixture list.

We are asking anyone who was here to look in the loft. Class photographs, concert and play programmes, sports reports, magazines, letters home, uniform, prize books - all of it is useful, and a photograph of a corridor is often more useful than a posed group. We can scan and return anything within a fortnight, or copy it while you wait if you would rather not let it out of your hands.

The best of what comes in will go into the exhibition at the Centenary Festival in July and into the school's permanent collection afterwards. There is a form on the centenary page, or you can simply bring things to the school office.
