CHERWELL 60 ALUMNI EVENT

By Claire Starkey

On Saturday 1 July, we were delighted to welcome back to school around 300 of our former students and staff to celebrate 60 years of the Cherwell School.

The afternoon began with assembly! A welcome by Chris Price was followed by words from two of our early students Frances Mower, our first Head Girl, and Adrian Hewitt, Head Boy 1974, accompanied by former teachers Francis Josephs and Roger Battley. Smiles and laughter filled the room, and set the tone for a joyful afternoon catching up and looking back on happy times. Afternoon tea (with scones provided by the Leonardo Hotel) was served and memory walls of photos through the decades decorated our Sixth Form centre along with items from our archives. Our Class of 1985, led by Nicola Watrasiewicz, recreated the group photo they spotted on our display, whilst others looked through old registers to find their names!

Looking for names in the old registers!
