Background:
The Elliott 'ex pupils' website was started by Andy Lambert in 2000, simply because of the fact, 'no one else had'. Andy had been a pupil at the school during the period 1958 to 1963 and although he was not a great pupil, he still had fond memories of his time there.

Within a few months he had changed the website to incorporate 'anyone' who had a connection with the school i.e. Pupils, Teachers or Staff and current, or past ‘inmates’.

People started sending emails to the website to be passed on to other people and so in late in 2001 Andy formed an ‘E’ group. This was to be used so that  those using the website could communicate with each other and like minded fellows.

Then Alan Morrin (a teacher from1972 to 2004) also joined the group and was quickly asked to became a moderator. Alan was able to use the Egroup to helps spread the word about the 100 celebration and reunion, held in 2004

In 2004 Edmund Hodges himself a retired teacher (from 1958 to 1985), offered to help and he was also made a moderator. Edmund has been instrumental in researching background information and especially active in recruiting many new members.

During the summer of 2006 Andy was contacted by Zubair Khatri (a former pupil from 1977-82). Zubair is now a director of QI2 Limited, a web hosting company and he offered to host the the website for free. Clearly this was an offer we gladly accepted.

During the lead up to the 50th Birthday Celebrations, the schools Deputy Head Michael Tucker talked of his plans to launch the Elliottonian Association. It was clear that the Elliottonian Website should be part of this scheme and that its associated E group, would be a perfect medium for communication. 

What can you do:
Most of all enjoy the website.

If however you feel you would like to get involved, please contact Andy, Alan, or Edmund. We are always looking for people who are happy to research projects. For example we would like to know more about the buildings at the old Elliott site (this would be perfect for someone with time on their hands, living in Southfields).

Perhaps you would like to write a short (or long) piece on your recollections, of your time at the various Elliott locations. Maybe you have a special experience, or memory, you would like to share. Do you have a picture of a teacher on our list, but missing an image? 

We are also very keen to collect 'copies' of any interesting pictures. These copies we will make available to all via this website, so that everyone can enjoy them. Being so freely available  means that anyone including the school's Archivist John Dodwell can use them, in any research they are undertaking.
