Around 125 alumni of The Edgware School from as far afield as Canada and Australia have booked tickets for a reunion party on September 13.

Only 250 guests can fit inside The Hendon Hall Hotel in Watford Way, Hendon, so organisers are urging people to book early. The biggest take up has been in the 34 to 44 age group, who left between 1974 and 1984, but many past and present teachers are also expected to attend.

After the party guests will take a guided tour of the school in Green Lane, Edgware, for a last look before it is knocked down and rebuilt away from its current position.
