History of Glenhurst School
If anyone has any photos, documents or other memorabilia pertaining to Glenhurst School, we would be delighted to see them as the school is approaching its 50th anniversary and we are keen to trace pupils from the early days of the school, photographic evidence, and to find out the exact date that the school was founded on this site.

Many thanks, Mrs Ethna Haines. Principal

Andrew Simpson Bradford

who attended Glenhurst from 1986 -1992 would love to hear news from any pupils present at the same time. Andrew enjoyed his time at Glenhurst and particulary remembers the desks, and was pleased to see that some still remained in the Year 2 classroom. He found himself in a group photo in the hall and wonders what happened to all the others in the photo.

Andrew graduated from Goldsmith College, University of London with a B.A in Fine Art and History of Art. Andrew has an older sister Fiona Bradford who also attended Glenhurst.
