Leavers of 2004
A cold April sun shone on the 2004 leavers when we got together for a lovely afternoon reminiscing and catching up on the past 20 years. It was great to see familiar teachers, Dr Tomlinson and Mr Rawlinson among others. We enjoyed viewing Room O with Mr Jackson, as his first form class made our return as part of this cohort, and remarked on how many of the posters remained the same 27 years later! Thanks to those who made it possible for Mary Lawrence to be there, remembered by many of us for her kindness as a key support in our school career. More than 20 of the year group made it to school, with Matt Lowe flying in from Vietnam the furthest travelled. The OH’s present represented a wide spectrum, as we are now teachers, nuclear physicists, physiotherapists, accountants, joiners, entrepreneurs and technologists, to name a few. Thanks to the current headmaster and the development team for organising such a wonderful event. We look forward to the next reunion in 10 years’ time. Chris Cullen
