Alumni School Tours

In conjunction with this we are inviting former alumni to tour our school so that they can re-ignite old memories and see how the school has grown and developed over the years.

Tours will be taking place on Saturday 6th July, and we hope that everyone will stay for our Centenary Summer Fayre. If you would like to book a place on our school tour, please contact: [email protected]

100 Voices

Our one hundred years’ worth of alumni memories are rich and layered. In honour of our school’s centenary, we are inviting past pupils and former staff to share their favourite stories and photographs with us.
