Prompted by Jo Jones<\/em> [Atkins] in June 2002 I started to collect messages from school friends before the reunion in September. How better to include those more distant, or otherwise engaged, and unable to attend a reunion at FSSW? I suggested some themes, such as music and sport, as a way of dredging up those memories. It was meant as a bit of fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of us did catch up with each other at the FSSW reunion and tercentenary on 28 and 29 September 2002. We had so much fun we did it again in 2005 to celebrate our 50th birthdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the unexpected #stayathome the site has been refreshed and should be more suitable for phones and tablets. I have cleared some book shelves resulting in two new pages covering the schools plays of “The Rape of the Locks<\/a><\/strong>” and “Zigger Zagger<\/strong><\/a>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, in March 2007 we heard that Helen Burgess<\/em> had died. School friends attended the memorial service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why boarding schools produce bad leaders<\/strong>
\u201cThe elite tradition is to send children away at a young age to be educated. But future politicians who suffer this \u2018privileged abandonment\u2019 often turn out as bullies or bumblers. A psychotherapist explains why\u201d

Old Scholars site<\/strong> and Facebook group<\/strong>
For information about other year groups and events, see www.oldscholars.com<\/a>. This includes class lists, a message board and \u2018panora\u2019 photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be interested in the rarely used Friends\u2019 School Old Scholars Group<\/a> on Facebook. It is a \u2018closed group\u2019 in that your access has to be approved \u2013 and it currently has about 450 members. (And a very good aerial photograph.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School closed<\/strong>
Closure after rebranding as The Walden School, July 2017.
