    Founder's Day

    Frances Mary Buss founded Camden School for Girls in January 1871. 

    It was her second school after founding North London Collegiate School in 1850.  The school began in the family home on Camden Street near Mornington Crescent and started with just 40 girls. After the death of Frances Mary Buss in 1894, Foundation Day became Founder’s Day in remembrance of Frances Mary Buss as well as the school’s many benefactors.

    Journalist and alumna, Fiona Millar, produced a commemorative book featuring photographs and archive material spanning the decades across 150 years (to obtain a copy please click here).
