Elaine, as previously said the school is now schools.. Reason being there was only about 3 service children left in the school, the rest were private girls. so it was decided to close the school and rent it to another governing body... The money generated for that and the lease of the lands where the old school was is used to help current service children in need of help in there education.
The book is not available in any book shop as it was not  intended for the public. It was only available at the school and at Hampstead museum.There are still some available from the trustees £10-12 plus p&p . There web sit is online.
A few of my friends have organised a reunion  in a few weeks time 25th April in London. 11-3pm (£15 per head) where the book will be on sale.. If you are interested in attending I can send you details. But I will need to know ASAP as we have organised a lunch buffet and the caterers need to have the correct numbers before hand.

I really liked being there. i was full time there and when to a day school, the went on to La Sainte Union Catholic School, i also have had trouble trying to get information from the school, even though i went there.
have a great week.

Emaline , I'm in touch with a few old girls from the school who might know of you and your sisters if I had your names and date at school. You can contact me via email sandy.harris@ ntlworld.com.
The name of the book is ' The story of the Royal School, Hampstead: 1855 to 2012'

Too much to hope for I suppose.  My time in the R S D S  was during the War2 and we were all billeted in large houses in Moor Park/Sandy Lodge  not far from the golf course and the railway station. Wonder if any more, like myself, are still around?

I have now got the book which, with photographs, shows the start of the school, on through the war years and into the later years till the school closed down.  I believe this book can still be bought.  Very interesting to see how the school started and eventually became the  fee-paying Royal School in a new building.
