75th Anniversary & Reunion Week 31 October - 4 November 2005

To celebrate our anniversary former students and staff were invited to return to school for our 75th Anniversary Week. Students were given an additional half day holiday and there were special events for former students, staff and governors.

This week was dedicated to everyone who has contributed to our school and, in particular, those students who gave their lives for freedom in the 1939-45 Second World War.

THE ROLL OF HONOUR

 

To the Glory of God and in proud and grateful memory. Who, in the full beauty and strength of their young manhood, gave their today that we might have our tomorrow.
