I would've said no-one, but after a quality 10 minutes on my old school's website I can tell you Edward Jenner, discoverer of the smallpox vaccine, went to my school.


Not as cool as a bunch of celebs, obviously, but it is posssibly the only disease to erradicated worldwide by vaccination.

We had a few: Ian McKellen, Mark Radcliffe, Ralf Little, Nigel Short (chess player) and a Nobel Prize winning chemist, Sir Harry Kroto (only I don't really know what he did).


Unfortunately, on the ladies' side, I think we can only "boast" Davinia Murphy / Taylor, of Hollyoaks and shagging it around with Kate Moss fame.

Roger Moore

Fern Britton

Kim Taylor AKA Magenta Devine (described in Wikipedia as "an independently wealthy heroin addict and publicity agent" before her move to TV under Janet Street Porter)

Rick Warden (Band of Brothers)

Greg Hands (MP)

Roger Hammond (cyclist)

Donald Stewert-Whyte AKA Abdul Waheed ("Two years after leaving was arrested in connection with the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot")

He was only there for a short bit, during the war I think.


So which year were you? I left in '78 (so two yrs behind Magenta and three behind Fern). Are you too young for the awful head Agnes McMaster? That dreadful woman went on to terrorise Croydon High School.


Have to say I loathed the place. Small-minded suburban defined.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
