Welcome to the website of the Old Thorntonians Association (Clapham)
President: Jimmy Hill OBE (1939-45)
The Association was re-formed in September 2006 to enable former pupils and staff of Henry Thornton School, Clapham, to stay in touch with one another, and to share views, news, memories and information relevant to both the school's and their own history
Objectives
- To provide a forum for Association members to exchange information and to stay in touch by various means: the newsletter, this website, e-mail, reunions and the membership directory
- To serve as a focal point as appropriate for any UK regional or overseas communities of Old Thorntonians who may arrange to meet for local social events and reunions
- To publish a newsletter approximately three times a year
If you are a former pupil or member of staff, and haven't yet joined the Association, why not do so today? The annual subscription for Full membership is only £10.00 (£6.00 for Associates), and you can apply by clicking here
