History [edit]
Founded in 1558, it was originally known as Master Allen's School. By 1869 it was known as Alleyne's Grammar School, a boys' grammar school. Francis Cammaerts (1916–2006), French Resistance leader and witness in the Lady Chatterley Trial, was headmaster from 1952 to 1961. In 1969 it became a comprehensive, Alleyne's School. In 1989 it merged with Stevenage Girls' School and changed to its current name.[citation needed]. During the summer of 2012 (LONDON 2012) Thomas Alleyne's was chosen to choose a torchbearer to run with the torch one of the current PE teachers (Mr. Pelka) decided to pick Luca Wells because of his sportsmanship and stamina in PE.
The current head teacher at the Thomas Alleyne School is Mr Mark Lewis. Appointed in March 2012, Mark brought with him impressive understanding and ideas. Educated at Keble college Oxford, Mark is committed to achieving an outstanding school status within three years. He was the favourite choice of all the students and parents, as well as being the strongest candidate, by far, in a very competitive field. He is the youngest head teacher in Stevenage and was brought up locally.
