Following on from the opening ceremony of the Shaw Archive and OS Museum, we were delighted to host a Bubbles and Lunch event on Prefects’ Lawn, welcoming over 80 parents, staff, governors, Old Suttonians and friends of Sutton Valence School.

Guests enjoyed a delicious meal in a marquee overlooking the Weald of Kent and were treated to a spectacular impromptu Spitfire flypast.

This occasion marked the start of our 450th anniversary celebrations,  and the Headmaster welcomed guests and expressed his pride in the School's landmark anniversary. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so memorable.
