Good work Chung, in addition to your sleuthing factoids, the non uniform reference is because the school is one of the few in the country that does not have a school uniform.
And the link to Skully's tag was CV Stanford, who was a composer, conductor, teacher and one of the founding professors of the Royal College of Music. In 1897 he wrote a piece called 'Requiem' in memory of his recently deceased friend Lord Frederick Leighton, the original owner of Leighton House Museum. And Gustav Holst was one of Standford's pupils.
I did'nt know any of that prior to getting Skully tag, honestly this thread should be on the curriculum for London schools, its taught me more than a lot of my old school teachers.
