Anne Allsopp

ANNE ALLSOPP was born in Luton and attended Luton High School for Girls. She taught in local schools before gaining an MA and PhD at the London Institute of Education. She published a book on Luton High School and the Technical School, to celebrate what would have been the centenary of selective education, and another on the education and employment of girls in the town. Her particular interest is the lives of ordinary people, and her latest research has helped her appreciate Luton’s unique character and reputation for being quite unlike anywhere else.
