Dulwich College Preparatory School

In 1938 headmaster John Leakey established an evacuation camp in the orchard on his father-in-law's land at Coursehorn, near Cranbrook, Kent, where the affiliated Dulwich Preparatory School still is today.

There were plans to move the school to the West Country, but when these fell through the Cranbrook school was evacuated to Betws-y-Coed in Snowdonia (there remains a memorial planting of trees in that village in memory of this period).
