The Elliott School, Putney & Southfields - Ex-Pupils & Staff Elliottonian Website

I've resisted the temptation to build anything 'flashy' (between us, largely because I don't know how), and opted instead for a simple, link-driven layout. It's best viewed as designed, on a large screen or tablet, though it works well enough on a smartphone too. Above, you'll find links to the site's main sections, some further divided by content.

With the rise of social media, things like reunion notices have mostly moved to more immediate platforms such as Facebook. This website today (2026) is really about keeping alive the memory of a school that, sadly, is no longer with us. Fair warning: it's a big site, full of photographs, reference magazines, databases, and some fairly long videos - so do bookmark it and come back often.

If you were part of the Elliott, in any capacity, I'm always on the lookout for old school photographs, publications, form pictures and the like - so do think of us next time you're clearing out the loft. And if you'd like to share your own written memories, we'd love to publish them here. Send everything to andy@AndyLambert.com

Beyond the school itself, this site has become a genuine archive of British social history spanning over a century - firsthand accounts from both World Wars, wartime evacuation records, and the stories of pupils who went on to notable lives, including Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green and actor Pierce Brosnan. Whether or not you have any connection to the Elliott, there's a good chance something here is worth your time.

About images: This site has a growing collection of named photographs. If you'd like your own image, or name, removed, please contact me at the email address below. We have permission to reuse many of these images here, and here only - copying them elsewhere infringes that right unless you are the copyright holder yourself, or have their permission. In short: please don't post them to Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else without checking first, or you risk being pursued by the copyright holder - or worse, as has just happened, by their rather less friendly agent.

This website is sponsored by my company, Boat Track. It was designed and is maintained by Andy Lambert (Pupil, 1958-63), with much help and guidance from others - especially the late, and much missed, Edmund Hodges (Teacher, 1958-85). I'm always happy to hear from former 'inmates'. Email: andy@AndyLambert.com
