Alleyn’s was the focus of intense media interest during the May bank holiday in 2009, when one of the school’s pupils was confirmed to have contracted swine flu, an illness which was sweeping the world at the time. A huge effort by school staff and the health authorities meant that parents of all our pupils were contacted at the weekend and within 24 hours all our pupils had received medication to counteract the effects of the illness. Christina Hughes-Onslow, Chief Administrative Officer, helped with the manoeuvre to get parents in and recalls that ‘cartoonist Matt seized the opportunity for a joke on the front page of the Daily Telegraph the following morning: as a local, he knew exactly how to represent the school accurately in his drawing, belltower and all!’ Matt is the grandson of Alleyn Old Boy VS Pritchett (Bn 1914-16).

The next Alleyn's Junior School Open Event is from 1.30pm to 3pm on Wednesday 22 May 2024. There will be a Head's Talk at 1.40pm after which you will be offered a tour of the school with a pupil. There is no need to book a place at this Open Event - everyone is welcome.
