Albyn School is marking a monumental milestone next year, it’s 100 year anniversary of the school being located on Queen’s Road. 

To celebrate a century of education, growth and community spirit at Queen’s Road, the school has planned a number of festivities including the launch of a commemorative book that captures its rich history. 

The book, titled ‘Albyn School: A Century at Queen’s Road’, offers readers a unique insight into what life was like at Albyn, told through the eyes of their former pupils through vivid stories, pivotal events and influential characters.  It includes rare documents and newly discovered photographs to enrich the reader’s understanding of each era covered.

Founded in 1867, Albyn School moved to Queen’s Road in 1924, joining the existing boarding house, to establish a campus that has become an integral part of the area. Over the decades the school has expanded, adapted, and grown, with generations of pupils passing through its doors. Former pupil Valerie Lowe (nee Kemp) described the book as ‘a true autobiography’ that ‘very much focuses on the memories of the school’s former pupils.’

Due to officially be released in September 2025, it is now available for pre-order.
