E7 Now & Then: School alumni. St Bon's Former Pupils.

This is the second of two posts, celebrating St Bonaventure's school 140th anniversary. The first, here, looks at the first 75 years of the school's history.

This article features some of the school's prominent former pupils. We are entirely dependent on the school's website for the list of names (see here), although have supplemented these by other details, and in a number of cases, photos from other sources.

The list is selective, but impressive - a testimony to the fine work done by the school.
