A Lichfield school is asking local residents will be able to help gather documents and photographs detailing its history.

The Friary School is looking for letters, reports, school work or photographs – formal and informal – and memories.

Brian Girling recently contacted the school to pass on a photograph featuring his wife, Anne, alongside the 1950 cohort.

The meeting prompted a plan to create a larger archive of originals or scanned copies of relevant images and documents.

Headteacher Matt Allman said:

> “We live in a city with a wonderful history and our school is very much part of this broader heritage.  
>  
> “In this digital age, we are very conscious that documents may well be disappearing, so hopefully this project will secure the story.  
>  
> “There are potential options of an online record or an exhibition so we will see where this leads us to.”  
>  
> Matt Allman, The Friary School

The Friary School was founded in the 19th Century when it was originally opened as a high school for girls.
