	Welcome to the boards, Jacques. I assume you have Googled the name of the school? Lots of results come up, including those already posted on this thread. Is there anything in particular that you're hoping to find out, apart from what's available online? Perhaps you could try adding a message to the many on the forum at this link below: https://tinyurl.com/yymupnw3 EDIT: Oh, I see you have already done that, early this year.

	The main front building was still there when I lived in Hutton about 15 years ago most of the grounds were sold off to build big detached houses, I seem to remember walking my daughter around these houses in her buggy and just wishing we could afford one

A reunion still takes place in the Essex dining hall on Whit Monday every year. Centenary celebrations took place in 2006. Former residents or anyone with connections to Hutton Poplars are most welcome at the annual event.
