Alleyn's school 1974

[macutd]

I went to Alleyn's School and left in 1974. But i have no contacts or pictures from my time there. Does anybody have any info, photos, contacts etc?

[Townleygreen]

May I suggest you have a look at the alumni site which you can access via the school's website?

there is also a facebook site called Alleyn's 1970s which has loads of pictures etc

Hi macultd,

I believe the school has an archivist so perhaps worth contacting the school.

For general outside photos the Southwark Local Studies Library (based to read of the John Harvard Library, 211 Borough High Street).

[hellosailor]

get in touch with Rosalind Archer in the alumni office at Alleyn's and she'll be happy to help you

Watch out. As an ex-pupil they will tap you up for a contribution!

And the brains keep going to Alleyns - in the A level rankings this year they were 15th in country - they were ahead of JAGS (30th) and DC (45)

But success comes at a price for local children - apart from the obvious cost, it's now very difficult to get into, with a large "catchment" attracting pupils from Clapham and Chelsea.
