Introduction and History
Whyteleafe County Grammar School for Girls 1907 - 1978
Whyteleafe first opened its doors on 6th May 1907, and many thousands of girls passed through its doors, and on to greater things until its closure at the end of the school year in 1978.
Many world changing events happened during the life of the school, including two world wars, yet Whyteleafe continued on until the political climate of the time meant it had to close. However despite the fact that the school has not existed for in excess of 20 years, each year, in May, a reunion is held, with a remarkable number of attendees from the 1920s up to the 1970s, which speaks volumes about the effect that this school had on the girls who attended it, and the staff who worked there.
Whilst the building may have changed is role in life to that of a Junior School, Whyteleafe County Grammar School lives on in its former pupils and staff.
This website is designed to allow old Whyteleafeans, be they pupils or members of staff to keep in contact, not just those who attend each year, but also to reach out the hand of friendship to those we have lost touch with, and also those who, for whatever reason, can not attend the reunions. We all have Whyteleafe in us still !
