After lunch in the dining hall, during which the headmaster, Mark Ronan, gave a warm welcome and brief address, cricket resumed, tennis matches started and school tours got underway.

Chemistry teacher, David Dyson, lead the tour for the ’97 leavers whilst former Head of Art, Peter Edwards, was pleased to take the groups into the Art & Design Centre to say a final farewell to the ‘fun palace’ before it is demolished to make way for the new Art & Design building currently taking shape alongside it. Everyone seemed impressed with the changes and improvements to the campus that have taken place over the last few years and as the tours progressed, the reminiscing was in full flow!

After tea in the dining hall, guests departed, happy that they had taken the plunge and returned to school for the reunion.
