Part of Red Books
A complete collection of Red Books - School lists and Calendars since 1959. Red books give information regarding pupils, tutor groups, teaching and support staff, school calendar and events, school rules, future trips and dates. Only two Red Books were never published, Summer term 2020 and Spring term 2021 as the UK was in lockdown (COVID-19) and pupils were not at School and had lessons online.

Part of Houses
This series focuses on the boarding girls in Orchard Close (built in 1929), later Buchanans House. It became a girls' boarding house in early October 1975 and Michael Stevens was its first Housemaster. It was renamed Buchanans House in Summer 1977, following the retirement of Headmaster J.D. Buchanan. Work was completed on Buchanans house in 1982 and the extension was ready for occupation in January 1983. The house was first a Seventh Form house and transitioned to a Middle School house in the 1980s.
