Following the government’s plans to alter/impose new conditions on junior doctors’ pay and working conditions a great number of junior doctors went out to protest on Tuesday 12th January 2016. Several of our alumni were amongst those who were out on the street to protest alongside many supporting members of the public.
Harpenden Hockey Star Niall Blackwell (class of 1999) marries Emily on 28th December 2015.
We wish then all the best.
Imran Shahryar (class of 2006) and Sara Davies tie the knot on New years Eve in 2015. What better way to see the New Year in. We wish the Shahryar-Davies all the best and years of happiness.

The ‘Hashtag Murderer’ posts chilling cryptic clues online, pointing to their next target. Taunting the police. Enthralling the press. Capturing the public’s imagination. But this is no virtual threat.
As the number of his followers rises, so does the body count. Eight years ago two young girls did something unforgivable. Now ambitious police officer Nasreen and investigative journalist Freddie are thrown together again in a desperate struggle to catch this cunning, fame-crazed killer. But can they stay one step ahead of him? And can they escape their own past?
Time’s running out. Everyone is following the #Murderer. But what if he is following you?

Some reviews
‘[Clarke] really gets to what modern life is on the internet.’
‘An original idea’
‘Freddie is a magnificently monstrous character’ ~ Saturday Review, BBC Radio 4
‘Set in a London of East End hipsters, Tinder hook-ups, and internships, this tongue-in-cheek tale explores murder in the age of social media’ ~ The Sunday Mirror
‘Written in the sharpest style, the story races along, leaving the reader almost as breathless as the heroine – but there is a verve to it that is impossible to resist. A playwright and a screenwriter, Clarke is certainly someone to watch.’ ~ The Daily Mail
‘Slick and clever’ ~ The Sun
‘A very contemporary nightmare, delivered with panache’ ~ The Independent
‘Clarke has made an appealing flawed female lead who’ll make immediate sense to readers who enjoyed Rachel in The Girl On The Train. An invigorating cat-and-mouse game, with a dark and filthy wit that deliciously spikes the regular drenchings of gore’ ~ Crime Scene Magazine
‘A chilling debut’ ~ Hello! Magazine
‘Follow Me is compelling, a proper page-turner’ ~ Emerald Street
‘Follow Me is a well written, taut, absolutely fascinating and scarily good crime novel that is too true to life…It will certainly make you look at social media and Twitter in particular with the utmost scepticism and horror. Outstanding! Clearly the start of a wonderful series, superbly written. I definitely want more.’ ~ Shots Magazine
