Allerton Grange Archives & Former students.....

In conjunction with the opening of the New Allerton Grange School building and by popular requests, we are putting together a collection of memorabilia from the Old Allerton Grange ' Good old days' which will feature all the memories of bygone eras. If you have any old class photos, old reports, photos of the old building internally or externally then please can we have a copy of them?

21st Sept 2010 Former student Damien Hirst endorses new school status ......

Former Allerton Grange student Damien Hirst has endorsed the new school status following the recent ‘Specialist Arts College’ award. HIRST the creator of World’s most expensive work of art, a bejewelled skull called ‘For The Love Of God’ which sold in 2007 for a staggering £50m said "The energy and excitement that Ann Green, Hilary McCormac and of course Dave Wood brought to the art department encouraged my continued education and love of art. I'm sure the new status that the school has attained was built on their legacy. I look forward to hearing about more students from the school making their mark in the arts."
