Have you guys heard? The dear old school has appeared in the top 30 Friendliest Secondary Schools in Britain list at FRU. What would Mr Holmes thought of that?...
Good point Caroline. I didn't get the email from FRU because I'm not listed as an Elliott pupil but I suspect you're right about all our emails. I bet, by the...
... In which case, I copy below the relevant email. ... What, that nice school! :-) Caroline Did you know that you attended one of the friendliest schools in...
Don't know if you've seen this but it is a message from John Dodwell, the Honorary Archivist at Elliott School, that was posted on FRU. I replied to the FRU...
Have fun with this one guys, I'm taking a back seat, but I'd like FRU told that the only reason there have been so many emails is because of all the emailing...
Quick update on this. Since I sent the previous mail, the PR company, who are employed by FRU, have been in touch again to sound me out as a possible candidate...
It would be nice if there was a mention of the oldies (from Elliott Central)as well as the young ones. It took more effort for some of us to get there. I left...
Update again, I've now been contacted by the reporter from the Times, seems like a nice lady. I mentioned the 'older ones' Barbara, she seemed very impressed. ...
Any idea of the reporters name? I was interviewed by them when I won the UK Science Teacher of the Year Award in Jan 95. One of her main objectives was to find...
Barbara, her name is Alex Blair. If it's the same person I have phone number for her but it's at work, and I'm not. Cheers, Keith [Non-text portions of this...
Keith Not the same one, mine was Susan Thomas. It was in the TES so probably have their own reporters. Thank you Alan for the kind remark. I would love to...
I seem to have got the tail end of a saga here, but missed what prompted your protest, Alan! However, having personally known Barbara for at least a day over...
This is getting out of hand, I've now been asked if I want to appear on TV, apparently London Tonight are filming at the school on Monday.. I got this from the...
It's a pity you can't do the TV Keith. I would have liked to do it but I have to go to Brighton on Monday. Having spoken to John Dodwell yesterday I think he...
Andy / Alan, Sorry to say that the head bangers ARE going to be there. I have a very understanding boss and she's given me the morning off. So, Gerald Clipp...
Thought you might like to know that FRU took into consideration, extremely large numbers of mails from individual members of school groups when doing their...
That is a fair point Keith. I think another consideration is the sheer size of the school. In my day (1963), it was 2500 in the five years. It would be...
We need to John Dodwell to answer this one Andy. When I joined in 1972 the roll was about 2000. Certainly Holland Park had a larger roll in those days but not...
Thanks Alan, Gerry Clipp and I will do our best to represent the school, it's a hell of a responsibility, and Andy, I'll try to get in a plug for the yahoo...
Keith I keep reading your e-mails to various old Elliottonians. Some names I vaguely remember but there again I have absorbed loads of trivia over the years...

Judy, We were obviously there at the same time but I'm afraid I don't recall your name, mind you with about 360+ kids per year, is it any wonder? As for...
Okay, they didn't show it tonight. I got a call at 6:30 to say that coverage of the Regents Street lights had pushed it out of the schedule. The good news is...
Hi Everyone, I rarely participate although I do follow the threads with interest and I wonder if anyone else heard the interview on the Today Programme at...
Thanks for the full report Keith and all your efforts, sound like a lot of fun. I can sympathise with you having experienced it a few time, most noticeably a...
