We hope that you may be curious as to why we chose the name 'William Perkin'. The answer is that he was a local chemist and industrialist who, at 15, set out on a path of exploration, discovery, enterprise and application. He was fascinated by the innovative technology of that day - photography! Aged 18 he set himself the challenge of trying to make quinine (a cure for Malaria) using the plentiful coal tar residues which were a waste product from Victorian gas lighting. During the process he made a discovery of a chemical dye which he called Mauveine. This chemical dye, that he discovered and manufactured in Greenford, was the foundation of the massive chemical industry in the local area. Our school uniform has been designed with William Perkin's Mauveine dye in mind. The William Perkin story began with a child being fascinated by Science – and setting out to ask 'Why?' and ‘What for?’. He realised that scientific investigation and critical questioning could provide solutions to problems. The expectation is that our students follow Perkin’s example and learn to be critical enquirers and productive problem solvers.
