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.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
