Former Pupil Reunion - Sunday, May 12, 2024
Our Former Pupils’ and Parents’ Day will take place on Sunday, May 12 starting at 12.00 and finishing by 14:30. There will be some snacks and soft drinks available in the sunken gardens where we will be gathering. Last year it was lovely to see such a large turnout and the staff enjoyed catching up with all your news.
At last year's reunion we said farewell to Stewart and Nicky Woodward.
The school is delighted that so many Former pupil and parents made the effort to return for the event with our oldest former pupils going back to the 1970s! The weather was fantastic, the sunken gardens looked amazing and the tea prepared by our new caterers added to this special day, which has been cancelled the two previous years due to Covid. We were delighted that Stewart and Nicky Woodward joined us having made the journey from their new home in Lincoln. The dining room and conservatory were set up with photos going back to the 60s from our archive. For those who had not been back in a while it was a pleasure to hear their comments about how the school has developed. There were a few shocked faces when viewing the Prep Prep and Performing Arts Centre.
We hope all those who attended ( about 300 in all) had a fabulous time, met up with old friends and staff and recalled memorable events. Thank you so much for attending.
