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
