Archives

Whether you’re an Old Orwellian, a parent or a member of staff, we’re delighted you are interested in exploring the history of Orwell Park School.

Our archive contains scans of our school magazines from 1940-1990. In the future, we hope to grow the archive to include our oldest materials, as well as magazines and other resources from the last thirty years. If you have a piece of history you would like to contribute, or if you are able to make a donation to help us expand the collection, please get in touch.

This archive has been created thanks to generous donations from a large number of our alumni and parent community. We hope you enjoy browsing its content and learning more about the School.
