History, Records and Collections

The ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë Archives house a fascinating collection of records, images and collectables that relate to the School’s history and culture.

We also hold a limited amount of material on some of our Old Boy’s lives and what they have gone on to achieve and contribute to society. Open every day during Term time, you’ll find an intriguing array of photographs and memorabilia as well as audio-visual content, documents and school items from a bygone age.
