History was that the girls building was bombed out during the war, and the school was rebuilt hence the girls building was glass and brick and still stands at the top of
Goswell road Islington, it is now used by City University and City and Islington College. The boys rather nice red brick building has unfortunatly been demolished and is now a modern block of appartments with a gym underneath. The statue of Dame Alice Owen that stands in the foyer of the new school in Potters Bar, came originally from the Girls' school in Islington and quite a few of the original staff transferred from the original schools too, Mrs Kisch, Mr Hamilton-Hinds and Dear Miss Hudson to name but a few.

I just added a banner at the top, and numerous citation tags in the article at the most critical places where a citation is likely needed, as a guide to would be editors. I can't believe that a school approaching its 400th anniversary, and with academic credentials claimed as it is would not have a multitude of sources. I have no doubt that this can be a great article about what appears to be a great school! I hope someone will add some rather soon, because otherwise as

essay for that matter? As you appear to be a teacher, I would hope so, so you should know how to cite any source and not just paste a hyperlink. Also, it is not our job to chase your sources, so if it took 5 seconds in Google, why didn't you put it in in the first place? And all of these outstanding pupils of yours? There should be hundreds of newspaper articles on them if they are achieving so highly. If you truly believe your school to be notable, then put the effort in to make a notable page. --

HEY! Stop removing my Trivia section! I put it there first, and as I student I feel entitled to do so. It has since been added to by other pupils of the school. All of the information contained is true, but as the section name suggests, may seem a little trivial to you non-owenians. Leave it there,

Yes indeed
Spandau Ballet did meet at Dame Alice Owen's Islington. Back in the day, there were two schools, in Islington, Dame Alice Owen's Boys' Grammar School, and Dame Alice Owen's Girls' Grammar School, both on the same site seperated by a traingular courtyard which was the boy's playground.

The section on the 400th anniversary celebrations appears to have been written on the eve of the events, as we are now in the second year since then. If any Old

The
Spandau Ballet page says they met at Dame Alice Owen's, Islington, is there still a school by the name Dame Alice Owen's in Islington or has it all moved to Potters Bar? Also, when did this transfer occur, did they actually meet in Islington or is that bad information?
