Listen and learn about the stories of five former pupils.

The people in our lives can be central to how our identity is shaped. For many of us this begins with family. But how do you make sense of your identity when you have no idea who your family is, or even the name give to you at birth?

This display tells the stories of five people who have explored many questions around identity, and come to terms with their past and their present selves.

This display was created thanks to Foundling Voices, an innovative oral history project which took place between 2009 and 2011, when we were fortunate to meet and interview 76 former pupils, now adults in their 80s and 90s, with some sadly no longer with us.
