History
In 1901 a sports teacher at Park Higher Grade School, Ilford, decided to form a football club for both pupils and teachers. Today, 110 years later the school has changed its name and location - but its ties with the club that still bears its name remain as strong as ever.
Despite the change of name, the old boys' team clung tenaciously to their original title, the Old Parkonians. Sports master Harry Heather launched the club eight months after Park Higher was founded, and under his guidance the school 1st XI was extremely strong in the early years. In the 1902-03 season - the club's first - they became champions of London by winning the prestigious Dewar Shield, beating Halstone Road School, Greenwich, in the final. Headteacher Mr Clayson was so impressed he gave the whole school the day off in celebration.
