50th Anniversary Garden Party

Thank you to all who helped at or visited the Garden Party on Saturday 8 May. Very appropriately, the rain that accompanied the opening 50 years ago returned but spirits of the 1,500 strong crowd were not dampened. Here are just a few of the images of the day taken by Gemma Sturges 13M who was our official photographer. For all of the photographs of the day, please look in our album. A DVD of the day's events will be on sale in due course.

If you missed the opportunity the buy one of our souvenir items (mug, pen, keyring, highlighter wheel or Cookbook) then they are still available from reception at the school (while stocks last!).

Even in the rain our visitors were not put off At the Presentation Ceremony
