Professor Sir Peter Mansfield, FRS

Education:

His primary education was spent partly in Devon during the second World War evacuation of London

His initial secondary school was Peckham Central, but after the 1948 education act, all the boys were transferred from that school to William Penn School, Choumert Road, Peckham. William Penn School was later transferred to the site on Red Post Hill where The Charter School now stands.

He was told by a careers teacher that science wasn't for him. He then had to leave school at 15.
