Floreat Alama Mater

An old school song suitable for a public school founded in this century


We are the new contenders,

We sing to the ‘Boat-Song’ tune,

Reared on EastEnders,

We’ll outdo the gentry soon.

When our dads won the ‘Lotto’

They bought us a public school,

And there’s no Latin motto,

‘Cause Latin’s no longer cool.


We’re all into pot and pubbing,

We never find time to learn,

We’ll spend in a night out clubbing

More than our teachers earn.

We’re the new, mindless crackpots

Who, proud of their public school

Bought from cash won on jackpots,

Are destined at last to rule.
