Un-catalogued material includes School Council Committee papers.

The School Council was established in 1969. It comprised five representatives of the Board of Governors, five of the Staff Association and five of the Students' Representative Council. The Director of the School was the Chairman. The Council was established in order to satisfy the increasing desire of the students in the 1960s for representation. It was decided to establish a forum where an equal number of governors, staff and students could meet to discuss any matter of concern in the life of the School. It was a purely advisory body but could raise any subject with or even submit recommendations to the Board of Governors, the Academic Council, the Staff Association or the Student Representative Council. The Council usually meets twice a term.

The records are arranged in three series as described in the description above.

Most records which are over 30 years old are available for public consultation. Records which are less than 30 years old can be accessed with the permission of the head of the relevant department of the school.
