Calling all Old Boys

100 Year Project
Help us celebrate the School's Centenary in 2012 by contacting us now!

The 100 Year Project has been established to help us record the names and contact details of all boys who have passed through the School doors since 1912, the year the current building was first opened.
Our aim is to reach out to all Old Boys, help you get in touch with each other and give you the chance to revisit your old school and help us celebrate this significant milestone in 2012. A full programme of centenary celebrations will be posted on this website soon.

Fathers Book Club

Fathers Book Club

The next meeting of the Book Club will be at the Clarendon Muse (Room L08) on Tuesday 23rd February at 7pm when we will discuss The Best Short Stories of Guy De Maupassant (Wordsworth Classics).

The Spring meeting of the Club will be held on Tuesday 20th April when we will be talking about The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

During the last meeting of the Club we discussed Embers by Sandor Marai and got in to a Hungarian mindset by consuming Hungarian wine and pretzels, so you can see we are really quite friendly.

All Fathers and non fathers welcome!!!

Our website provides information for the entire School community which includes students, current and prospective parents and staff as well as Old Boys, friends and partners of the School.

For prospective parents or partners of the School who wish to find out more about our long history and special ethos, I recommend you take a look at the About Us pages before browsing other parts of the site.

We hope this website gives you a flavour of the enviable academic success of the School; the wide variety of extra-curricular experiences we provide for our students; the dedication and commitment of all the staff and the ambitious development plans we have for the School’s facilities. All these elements give us our unique character and ensure we continue to be amongst the best schools in the country.
