History

Does anyone no anymore aobut the history of Vyners School? I have done my best but I realise that it is perhaps not the most brilliantly written article ever, and that there is a lot of releveant information that is either missing or unsourced. Thanks to anyone feeling ready to help. George bennett 13:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Did Lorraine Heggessey [Controller, BBC1, from 2000-2005] attend Vyners - about 1968-1975? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.169.201 (talk) 12:24, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Was the school in fact named after Sir Robert Viner (with, usually, an 'i'), and not one of the Vyner family [with a 'y'), or, perhaps, Rajah Vyner of Sarawak? Autochthony. 86.158.246.151 (talk) 16:16, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Autochthony writes - a touch of mistaken ideals - aka vandalism - possibly. John Miles helped found the school in 1958 or 1959; he was the Head of Bishopshalt. Possibly someone needs to potect this - from unidentified edits . . . . . Autochthony wrote - 2011 03 18 2310z 81.132.188.132 (talk) 23:09, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Autochthony writes again.Per the Daily Telegraph of 7 September 2013, the 'muse' for Richard Curtis - author of Love Actually - writing much of his early work was, the paper says, an unrequited love for Carolyn Colquhoun. A young lady by that name attended VGS (in the cohort that left in 1972) about 1965-67; possibly an RAF child. The photo published [although from the 1980s] seems reminiscent.might this be correct?
