Geocache Description:

This is the sixth in a series concerning Berkshire schools/colleges and their famous pupils. The coordinates above are not for the cache, but for another nearby school, with no connection to what follows.


You are looking for a school and a former pupil (X) who spent some of their early school life there.


X has been a recording artist as well starring on stage and screen.
X lost their father at an early age but ironically this may have led to their talent being developed.
After leaving this school X moved to a theatrical school before launching their career in the UK in the early 1980’s starring alongside some now famous names.
Within 10 years X headed west and has achieved great success winning many awards for a variety of performances including 7 Emmy’s.
Recently X suffered a bereavement.

Since X attended the school it has moved and its former site is now home to a superstore.

Information required:

How many letters in X’s birth names (first name, middle and last name) = ABC
What chart position did X’s first single reach in 1983 = D
The school currently has 7 houses (including boarding houses), listing their names from shortest to longest the number of letters in each names will give you EFGHJKL
