As a former pupil, following in the footsteps of my family, I have had great pleasure
and a great deal of enjoyment in piecing together this website.

Our successes in such a short time, to name but a few:-
     # connected old pals who haven't seen each other for more than 50 years
     # received countless e-mails and guestbook entries
     # unearthed an unbelievable number of class photographs
     # possibly have the first class photograph ever taken in 1895
       # a Dux winners photograph....over 100 years old
       # wonderful school memories and pupil / teacher profiles
       # a school prizebook from 1893
     # discovered that a former pupil was awarded the VC
       # brought many ex-pupils back in contact with the school

Etc etc its been amazing and I am sure there is lots more to come.

My special thanks goes to everyone at the school who have been so supportive
and helpful in all my undertakings.
