History

The public school at Strong Alley was one of the first public institutions in Wykewood, catering at first to a large number of students. After the privately run Barwood Row School was built in the next block, the Strong Alley students tended to be more working-class; of students, it was said they were either "in the classroom" - law-abiding and studying - or "in the alley", a member of the Strong Alley Gang. The Gang became notorious throughout Wykewood for their brash vandalism and theft. (Samborne Walk Police Department dedicated a taskforce to bringing the gang's members to justice.) It was rumoured that Strong Alley students were behind the fire that turned the block to the east into a wasteland, but no evidence of this was found, and since many students and their parents of Strong Alley School as well as Barwood Row School lived in the building, this was thought unlikely. Strong Alley's sex education program was considered excellent, one of very few reasons to enrol a child there, rather than the more well-equipped neighbouring school, and was notable for hiring Crabbe Bank prostitutes as guest speakers. When questioned about this early in the program's life, the headmistress Christine Poole, said "Well, we've got to keep students in the classroom and out of the alley somehow." (This may have been the origin of the sayings noted previously.) The school was equipped canteen, since torn down entirely for barricades; a library converted from a classroom; and a relatively large all-staff office that offers views of the whole school grounds.
