Join other Pembroke School Whovians and share your same passion for this truly brilliant series every Friday lunchtime in the TARDIS aka the Library. Fans among the staff are also welcome and pop in from time to time to join in.
What do we get up to?
Games, quizzes, competitions, programme showings, Doctor Who magazines and books, and lots of other activities. Refreshments usually include a Jammie Dodger, jelly baby or satsuma or two - we haven't yet had fish fingers and custard, but you never know!
Our first competition, launched at our Welcome Evening in June 2011 for new Year 7 pupils and their families, involved issues of time travel. Participants were asked to think if they could travel forwards or backwards in time, where they would go and why. Some great ideas and reasons were given - congratulations to James for his winning entry: "I'd go back to World War II so that I could meet Winston Churchill and give him some advice."
Why we like Doctor Who...
"It's funny and scientific at the same time!"
"It's not just sci fi, it's also history."
"It's cleverly written, has lots of action and makes me think."
Coming soon...

Hot Quote
I pray no child of mine should ever descend into such a place as a Library. They are indeed most dangerous places and unfortunate is she or he who is lured into such a hellhole of enjoyment, stimulus, facts, passion and fun.
Willy Russell
