Sadac, not a lot. Used to live at Sidcup for many years and was aware of the school through the odd mention

of it in the local newspaper. My grandfather went to a similar school, The Duke of York Military School in Chelsea.

Sadac, the local paper was the Kent messenger, but having lived there in the seventies i have no recollection of the dates in question. Have you searched the internet yet, there seems to be a few good leads to follow up.

Best of luck with your search
