Houses & colours have changed since 1960. Was then a 100% boys boarding school. Saxon - Blue/Grey with thin red stripe. Norman - Brown/Grey. Tudor. York. Windsor - Blue/Black. Bayley - Green/Black. I think - 50 years is a long time !! there must be some other old Wrekinian around who remembers more. Timothy J Baker 21:32, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you 80.2.16.73 for the clarification on House colours.

Why don't you register it's a much better approach.

In 1965 the Houses were:

The Houses were always listed in this order

Questionable Old Wrekinian
I am not myself an OW, but I question the claim of James Faulkner, the actor born in 1948, to be an Old Wrekinian. His wiki biography does not mention Wrekin College in his early life details and in his infobox his Education is given as the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, attended post Royal School of Church Music. I am therefore reluctant to wikilink his name without evidence connecting.Cloptonson (talk) 12:03, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

"Crown Princes of India" as alumni (subsection Old Hall School)
Although the term may have been mentioned in the published sourced cited, there has been no such title as Crown Prince of India at any rate in the lifetime of Old Hall School. India as a nation state had no unified monarchy except perhaps through British monarchs being titular "Emperors of India" from Queen Victoria to George VI, which arose because most of the landmass of Britain's Indian Empire were a conglomeration of native principalities, each with their own designated succession lines and heirs to throne. More exact identification of the individuals and their relevant states needed.Cloptonson (talk) 12:48, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
