There are links to the various parts of our community: our Junior School (boys and girls aged 4–11); the Alleyn's Parents' Association ; the Edward Alleyn Club (our alumni association) and to the Advancing Alleyn's campaign (our development fund). Other useful information covers admissions (policy and procedures, scholarships and bursaries), academic departments, exam results, our last inspection report and the school development plan.

Cycling Safety

Because side streets in general are not well lit and cyclists emerging from School wearing dark-coloured uniforms cannot be easily seen, all cyclists are advised to wear a high-visibility jacket and helmet, and to have a set of working lights when cycling to and from School.

Sam Harper Brighouse

Members of the Alleyn's community were deeply saddened and shocked to learn that Sam Harper Brighouse (Tulley's and 2008 leaver) died suddenly during the Brighton Marathon on Sunday 14th April.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, 18th May at 1:30pm at St.Barnabas Church, Calton Avenue. All welcome.

The charity for which Sam was running at Brighton is Arms Around The Child (UK) which provides loving support, treatment, protection and respect for children in Africa and India who are affected by HIV/AIDS. Click here for a link to Sam's Just Giving page.
