In 1992, Alleyn’s Junior School was opened in buildings beyond the boundary of the ancient Manor of Dulwich. Mrs Bridget Weir was the Junior School’s first headmistress and she welcomed 133 new pupils on 10 September 1992. The Junior School was officially opened in November 1992 by Terry Waite, the Archbishop of Canterbury’s envoy, who had recently been released as a hostage in the Middle East.
