Throughout the year, the Development Office hosts a variety of lunches, dinners, reunions and networking events for Alumni, held annually both at School and around the country.
Alumni are also invited to join current members of the School at a range of lectures, sporting events and music recitals, including the Boys' Division's Christmas Festival and the Girls' Division's Ceremony of Carols. Many events are also live-streamed, allowing Alumni to take part in School events regardless of where they live in the world. Details of all these events can be viewed below.
The full Alumni events calendar for the current academic year can be viewed by clicking the button below, with events currently available to book listed in the Upcoming Events section.

We hope to welcome you to an Alumni event very soon!

Seeking lost Alumni!
We would love to hear from former pupils with whom we may have lost contact over the years. If you are in contact with School but have classmates who aren't, please do share with them details of the range of events we hold for Alumni and encourage them to come along! If you would like to update your contact preferences, then please contact the Development Office
