Well, that's me! I work one morning a week (usually Tuesdays), during term time, in the school's Archive Centre.

The main activity is filing away and cataloguing material which records the school's extra-curricular activities. This includes back numbers of 'The Record', team, event and activity photographs, concert, play and Speech Day programmes, to name but a few. Some examples of these appear elsewhere on these web pages.

In the course of this work I have noticed large gaps in the material held. When I think back to my few years there, I can remember events of which there is no trace in the archives - like that marvellous production of 'The Mikado'. Another example is the complete absence of material reflecting the huge changes in the school's ethnic diversity since the 1960s. The photograph of Phillips, VC, that overlooked the stairs leading up to 'Big School', is nowhere to be seen, to say nothing of the Rugby Honours Board that went AWOL years ago!

So, if you come across anything in your attic that you think might be of interest to the school, please let me know before sending it. It would be a pity to do so if we already have a copy.

Suprising as it may seem, several items are duplicated in large numbers - and these are 'For Sale'.
