Winter Reunion
We were delighted to have such a great turn out this year and it was wonderful to listen to Mr Saddler take stage once again. It certainly took me back many years in a warm, nostalgic way! We were also very grateful for the support of the The Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Drax and the lovely Advent Service delivered by Rev Jason Reid, which kicked off the day for many of us. It was also fabulous to hear from Ruth and Brian as to the progress of the school, and a well-delivered, humorous address from Harry - Head Boy. The caterers created a lovely environment for us to dine in, in the school dining room and of course a delightful spread of food!
Cricket Match
