Jeremy Irvine went to my school, and was my monitor for a while. He's the lead character in Warhorse (albert).

Monty Panesar, the cricketer too.

Tim Foster the Olympic rower as well.

That's all that I personally know of :smile:
Emily Heskey the tank!
i hate to state the obvious, but obviously 99% of you are all lying:lol:
Fearne Cotton and a few kid actors.
nick griffin

and one of our teacher went to school and used to bully russel brand XD
Sheridan Smith, Alex Binnington from Proxies, Phil Neale (Worcestershire County Cricket), the person on Milkshake (Jen Pringle?) and Roger Davies (an oxford astrophysics professor).

(According to Wikipedia, though I know the first two definitely attended)

Will Mellor from "2 pints of Lager and A Packet of Crisps" (very z list, but it still counts :tongue:) He showed up drunk to some sort of open day thing we had too...
I wasn't expecting any, but according to Wikipedia, these lot went to my college:

Arthur Katalayi, student, Global Ambassador for Giving Back to Africa

David Kidney, student, Labour MP

Neil Morrissey, student, actor

Anna Richardson, student, TV Presenter

Quite pleased with Anna Richardson- i love her! Also, Robbie Williams was born in the area, and I vaguely remember one of my teachers saying she'd taught him or was friends with his mum or something... I wasn't really listening- I hate Robbie Williams.

Not me but Gerard Butler went to my parent's high school. He was head boy in his 6th year aswell. Unfortunately the school closed a few years ago and I think was actually demolished for flats or something like that, St Mirin's academy it was called I think.
Dev Patel from skins and slumdog millionaire

William Regal, in his prime, was one of the greatest wrestlers in the world, and he's probably still up there in the top 15 as well, even in his mid-forties.
