Notable alumni

Should this section include only those who attended the Lower and Upper schools, or those who left after Lower school (such as Jennifer Ellison, if indeed she was at the Lower school, needs a citation)? – ukexpat (talk) 16:15, 4 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I don't think so necessarily, it is considered to be a great achievement to get into the school full stop. There are lots of people who only attend lower school and still go on to have notable careers in dance, theatre and television. Ellison is a good example, because even though she is better known as a television actress, her recent casting in the musical Chicago is directly linked to her having trained professionally as a dancer.
