On the occasion of Founders Day, it is our tradition to give thanks and celebrate the vision and the generosity of the founders and benefactors who brought our School into existence. They recognised the value of a good education and established a school which would deliver the finest education possible to girls and boys, irrespective of means. Our Governors remain committed to those values today.

It is also traditional to pay our respects to Old Boys who died in the two Great Wars, and a two-minute silence is held after a bugler plays the Last Post and a wreath is laid at the War Memorial.

At the lunch following the Church Service, we have an opportunity to acknowledge the support of current benefactors whose generosity is so vital to the future of our schools.
