Message to friends and members of the Royal High School Club in London:
Dear friends,
I am delighted to announce that there is a completely new look this year to the traditional annual drinks party. We have left The Fleming Collection far behind and moved into the heart of the West End.
You are most cordially invited to join us for a buffet/light supper at Le Troisième Restaurant at 3, Panton Street SW1 on Tuesday November 15th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. . The restaurant, highly praised by the critics for its traditional French cuisine, is situated only a few minutes walk from Piccadilly Circus Underground Station just off the Haymarket.
The centrepiece of the evening is a real treat for fans of Downton Abbey. Our own David Robb, starring in the series as Dr. Clarkson, will be in conversation with theatre journalist Al Senter. David and Al will be discussing the impact of the programme and reflecting on David's distinguished acting career which includes: I, Claudius, The Glittering Prizes, Taggart, The Crow Road and Midsomer Murders. You might also have heard David as the quintessential Richard Hannay in several radio dramatisations of the novels by John Buchan. There will also be a chance to put your questions to David on Downton Abbey and his other stage and screen credits.
To get to Le Troisième take the underground to Piccadilly Circus and exit the station towards the statue of Eros. Head in the direction of Leicester Square, turn right into Haymarket and Panton Street is about 100 metres down Haymarket on the left hand side. Don't hesitate to bring wives, partners, friends or guests: we'll be delighted to welcome them to the party. The charge for the evening is £25 per head.
I look forward to seeing you on 15th November.
Valerie Peay,
President of the Club

The Royal High School of Edinburgh goes from strength to strength under Jane Frith's leadership. Previously a fee paying, selective, all boys, corporation school, housed in a remarkable building based on a greek temple, it has taken the changes to mixed comprehensive in the suburbs in it's stride.

- THE ROYAL HIGH PRIMARY SCHOOL
-
The primary school celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2011. When the senior school moved to Barnton, the primary school was left on the opposite side of the city at Piershill. However the link with the senior school is maintained, and, as far as we know, pupils from the primary school can move on to the senior school as always. This site features many photographs of the school, which is a listed building, as it is today.
