The first intake consisted of just eight girls in the VI form and was a revolutionary step at the time as the College was one of the first schools in the country to “go co-ed”.
Peter Withers, a former Director of Studies at the College, who began his teaching career there at the same time, said: “Girls are an integral part of the College today. It was wonderful to see so many faces from the early days and enjoy the company of a thoroughly delightful group of impressive young ladies”.
