Like wowzers.

Famous former pupils at my old school include Jay Kay, Kelvin McKenzie (former editor of The Sun), Jude Law (he was in 6th Form when I started there) and Laurence Llewellyn Bowen. The last one is nothing to be proud of I know...

The only former pupil at my old school that is now famous, as far as I know, is Zoe Birkett ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoë_Birkett)

Just Anna King from Corrie, I dont know what her name is in that, shes the really attractive brunette one who owns the knicker factory, well she did I dont watch it!
And unlike the other corrie mention I never saw her giving anyone a bj in the woods.

Kirstie Allsop was a couple of years above me and Sophie Dahl a couple of years below me. And I never realised.

BBC news sports bloke Mike Bushell lives in my old house and was in my Sunday football team.

Kiddie at school was on 'on safari' with biggins and gillian whatsit. Now thats famous.

Can't think of many people who I knew of. Ralf Little, was several years ahead of me. Had a few famous people over time including Sir Ian McKellen and some others who I've never heard of but have impressive job titles.

Nigel Wightman Chief Executive, Rothschild Asset Management
Sir Malcolm Williamson President and CEO, Visa International
Professor Sir Harry Kroto Nobel Prizewinner for Chemistry

Mark Crossley, goal keeper

Does seeing photofits on crimewatch count?
if so then yes

hang on aphex_2k, you were at Highfields? same as me - finished in 1990 at 16!

At my first secondary school, former pupils include Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, Mel Smith, Keith Vaz and Heston Poncenthal. Poncenthal might be the only one of these, that was at the school at the same time as me. Lucky for him, he wooduv been in the upper sixth, 'cos if he'd been in my year, I probbly wooduv bullied him for being a ponce. I was a bit of a vicious little **** when I was a yute.

At my second; no-one famous, 'cos it was a shit school.

so, Rudeboy, were you the sort of kid I was scared of at school 🙂 Not that I'm a ponce mind!

Didn't go to school with anyone famous but i used to work with James from Starsailor, he used to do the washing up in the pub and was extremely shy at the time.

Well, I was small, so bigger kids thought they could bully me. Trouble was, a lot of them were ponces, yet I'd grown up in the East End, and could look after meself a bit. I'd always wait until I got them alone, then proper scare 'em. They'd be proper shitters, when no-one else was around to back them up. Grassing bastards though. I was in trouble quite a lot. I din't last long in that school.

I weren't really a bully. I'd just get back at kids who gave it the big-un. Vengeful little ****, me.

I was at 6th form with BBC North West Tonight sports reporter Howard Booth. Yes, Howard Booth.

And the editor of Motorcycle News - Fat Adam wasn't it?

Christopher Leslie, the youngest ever MP I think, was in my class at my infant school. And of course I was delighted to spend 3yrs of relative debauchery drinking with Harry The Spider at Big School.

Grew up playing football with Rory Delap (Stoke mega throw-in expert) and Matt Jansen (Blackburn & England). I was their captain right up until 16 and they got selected for YTS and i didnt (No talent tbh).

Also went to school with Steve Harkness of Liverpool.

I was good friends at primary school with Premiership footballer Matthew Etherington.

Mike Tindall england rugby player went to my school.

Of course I finished when he was only 3, but that's another story

others include:
Mike Harrison - another rugbyer
Mike Smith - a cricketer
Richard Henry Lee - one of the early presidents pro tem of the USA
Lukas Wooller - Maximo Park
Andy Cato - Groove Armada
Adam Pearson - chairman Derby County FC, formerly also of Hull City & Leeds United football clubs

I went to school, and was friends with, Nick Craig.

Went to school with Stuart Barnes. Not the Bath/England No10 of the late 80s but the lad who played 1st team cricket for Gloucs. You've probably never heard of him...

John Hall (played on the flank for Bath/England by coincidence) was a few years ahead of me, as was Curt Smith (half of Tears For Fears - popular beat combo from the early 80s). Andrew Lincoln (actor best known for playing 'Egg' in This Life. Or 'Teachers') was a few years behind me, as was Jason Gardner (sprinter).

Oh, and I went to Uni with Thom Yorke. But he didn't know it :O)

My mum was a couple of years below john Lennon, I also went to the same school, so did Clive barker and I think ray stubbs did along with quite a few others who I cannot remember now.

Wasn't at school with him, as he's a mere 28 years older, but a certain famous ****stani Cricketer and now politician, and ex-husband of the exceedingly wealthy heiress Jemima Goldsmith, went to my school. Yes folks, the one and only Imran Khan!

Also, ex England cricketer Tim Curtis was my English teacher (yes really!).

Just found out that now my school has combined with the school next door last year, that other ex pupils include Vanessa Redgrave (the famous actress whose daughter, Natasha Richardson sadly died recently) and Barbara Cartland!

The things you learn on a daily basis!

Alex from Neds, school & college.

The actor who plays Mickey Pearce, the wide boy in 'Only Fools And Horses'

Mind you my school [i]was[/i] in Peckham, and it had a fair few wide boys, so I'm not sure how much 'acting' was going on 🙄

Jason Manford.

Also my mum went to school with David Threfall (frank from shameless)

John Player, of John Player Special fame
D.H. Lawrence - Writer
Ed Balls, Kenneth Clarke and Jeff Hoon

and Leslie Crowther of 'Come on Down, The Price is Right!!' fame.

No-one when I was there.
