No one that I remember. A few people from my year and year above have gone on to be successful - three actors/producers in LA doing pretty well, and the guy who sat next to me in English is a fairly successful model. Think our only proper claim to fame was that it used to be a POW camp and that German goalie was held there, can’t remember his name though. Oh and for some reason we used to get premier league football teams who were past through using our front football pitch for practice. David Ginola was playing out there one afternoon at the peak of his Head and Shoulders advert fame. It was a really shit pitch and half up hill, god knows why they used it.

Bert Trautmann?

We don’t have sixth form but tend to do an extra year at uni instead

idk i meant it more in the way we have here where there are Catholic schools which are in part ran by the catholic church, and state schools which are non-religious

No we do 6 years of high school (1-6) but go to uni a year early.

(May have all changed now, it’s been a while!)
