Old School Song
William Mathias
'Born in the town in 1934, Mathias had written the piece whilst a pupil at the school at the age of 11 or 12. It is a precocious work, with a shapely tune that comes to a rousing close, supported by effortlessly successful harmony. It is sad that, on turning comprehensive in 1989, the School Song, possibly Mathias's most performed work, was dropped.'

We hope to have a copy of the song to post here soon.
Apparently the school does not bother with a School Song now - so I am told.
