  • Series
  • 1977 - 2011

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.
