On Saturday 7th May, Northbourne Park School welcomed back over 400 former pupils, parents and staff to join current families to celebrate the school’s 80th Anniversary and 25 years of the French programme, the Section Francaise Bilingue.
Former pupils and their parents toured the school reminiscing their school days, while current pupils took part in the legendary Burton Race and Maypole Dancing.
During the day, the school choir, joined by former pupils, gave a wonderful rendition of Locus Iste and the school orchestra performed in style. There was a Spitfire on-site and RAF re-enactment to celebrate VE Day and the 80th anniversary of the first flight of the Spitfire.
There were speeches from a past headmaster, the head boys and head girls, and the current headmaster set out the vision for the future of the school.
A wonderful day for all.
Headmaster, Sebastian Rees said:
“We could not have asked for a better day to showcase just what a special school this is. Our former pupils clearly have very fond memories of Northbourne Park and we look forward to the next generation of children to enjoy everything that this school has to offer”
