On Saturday, we were delighted to welcome back for an informal reunion 30 Old Suttonians who had left the School in 1993. As a 25-year anniversary event, the group enjoyed a tour around the site, followed by a three-course meal in Groves Hall, before continuing their celebrations long into the night in the Queen’s Head. For many of the group, this was the first time they had returned to the School since Speech Day 1993 and many had not seen one another for a similar length of time.

Former staff members David Pickard (Staff 1977-2001) and Anne Wilkinson (Staff 1985-2016) helped facilitate their visit and reminisced with the group on how the School used to be back in the late eighties and early nineties. It was a fantastic event and great to see so many OS from a single year group getting together. This was, in the large part, due to the organisation and perseverance of Matthew Woodgate (1993 M), to whom we are really grateful.

As a school, we always welcome OS-led events and would be delighted to hear from any other year groups with significant anniversaries in 2019 who would like a trip down memory lane with a year-group event hosted at the School.
