My brother, Nicholas Campbell Gordon (1946 - 2007), attended this school sometime in the 1950s. Has anyone come across any records of pupils at this school?

I have a list of pupils at Knossington Grange School where I was also a pupil - see attached PDF. I do not remember Nicholas unfortunately.

Very many thanks. I'm sure many other ex-pupils will now surface.

You may be interested to know that two other pupils from that time have had notable careers. John Steiner became a film and television actor, starring in over 90 films and is now a realtor working in Beverley Hills Ca. You can see his career if you look him up on imdb. You can find George Meredith in a Netflix series titled Wild Wild Country. He became a doctor in London then became a follower of Indian mystic Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, becoming his personal doctor and involved in the ensuing scandals - it's quite the story. I gather he's still one of the leaders of the organization.
The only other two I know of are Martin Sellick and Christopher Wood, both unfortunately deceased. I remained friends with both after leaving Knossington and Chris until he died about five years ago.
Good luck with your hunt.

I have a photograph of Knossington Grange School pupils and staff taken, I believe, in the 1950s. If others are interested I am willing to post it here.

I would like to know when this photograph was taken. On the reverse is a stamp which reads: 'The Melton Studios, (Prop: S. G. Skyrme.) 4, Sherrard St., Melton Mowbray.
