Then and Now
Here (top) you can see the last days of Purley Boys School before demolition and (below) the site today with Coulsdon College built upon it.
It is hoped that there will be a Reunion and tour of the new college later this summer to commemorate the 100th year of the opening of PGS.
Watch for more details here.

Purley Grammar School Roll of Honour
Terry Lawson has written in - "I'm starting to look at researching the names that are on the above, a copy of which I've attached
I'm an old boy from 1959-1966, did the full seven!
Do you or any other old boys know if this research has already been done?
Regards
Terry Lawson"

Centenary Update
The organisers met this week to assess the response to the proposed Centenary Celebration - PGS for Boys opened in 1914.
Based on feedback so far, it appears that there are going be over 200 people . Many will come with partners, wives, nurses, carers etc which will further increase numbers so we will need somewhere big.
We are going to try to finalise for June / July and will let you know just as soon as we have something certain for your diaries.
Thanks
