"Some time after 1938,[5] following various reorganisations, the school only took students who were older than eleven. In 1951 the school became Sir William Collins School, named after the first chair of the London County Council (LCC) Education Committee. It became South Camden Community School in 1993. The original Victorian school buildings were located between Charlton Street and Medburn Street; Medburn Street was used as the address. But Medburn Street was demolished when, between 1958 and 1961, the London County Council extended the site and buildings to Charrington Street. Charrington Street became the new address with the school offices located on that side. The new extensions were officially opened in October 1961 by the eminent engineer Sir Willis Jackson (later Lord Jackson of Burnley). The extensions had, however, already been partially occupied in 1960 out of necessity with the large expansion of pupils, to approximately 1,100 at the time, which made it one of the largest schools in inner London. A portrait of Sir William Collins hung in the new main entrance during the 1960s. THE SCHOOL IS CHEAP AND THE buliding is shit"Entry from my old school's wikipedia article.
