Brendon Public School

Brendon Public School, or Brendon School for short, was an English school. In 1983, Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, formerly the commander of the British division of UNIT, was a teacher of A-level mathematics at the school, and Turlough, an undercover Trion exile, was one of the students.

In 1983, Turlough and Ibbotson stole Lethbridge-Stewart's car from the school grounds and crashed it a short distance away. (TV: Mawdryn Undead)

Charlie Gibbs was another of Turlough's classmates. (AUDIO: Eldrad Must Die!)

Turlough enjoyed studying history while at the school. (AUDIO: Phantasmagoria) However, he hated William Shakespeare's works. (AUDIO: The Emerald Tiger)

In his 1996 book Who Killed Kennedy, the journalist James Stevens described it as "a minor public school for boys." (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)

Daniel Hinton also at one time attended the school until he was expelled for dabbling in black magic; the fourth year dormitory was terrified and Matron's cat received a shock from which it never recovered. (PROSE: Downtime)

Twickers was the school secretary in the 1990s. (PROSE: Downtime)
