I was impressed too Dave lol. No Pippa it was my Secondary School. It was originally called Tudor Rose School pre mid 1960's when they had to enlarge the School, they left the original building in the middle which was nice. The new school was named Islington Green its the ARSENAL School if you go into the website of the School it usually has photos of visiting Arsenal Players giving nice Gunners shirts and stuff as prizes and gifts;-) Thierry Henry and Sol Campbell are frequent visitors. :-))) Pat x

The following went to my local catholic senior high school: Surranne Jones (Karen mcdonald - coronation street) Paul Scholes (man utd player) Steve coogan (actor/comedian) There are more from same school but can't think who at the moment.....

Not that I know of. Oliver Reed went to my son's school for a while. I'm told he didn't stay long. My cousin went to school with Helen Shapiro. My niece's convent school produced Therese Bazar, the female half of the vocal group Dollar, and my son's girlfriend went to the same school as Katie Melua. Oh, and my son went to the same university as Andy OOP North! But that probably doesn't count. LOL CB >|<
