On Saturday 16th March, over 60 Old Churcherians returned to school for the annual OC Reunion Lunch, representing year groups ranging from 1955 - 2014. In particular, it was wonderful to see so many OCs celebrating their year groups ending in '4'!

OCs were greeted by former staff members Gill Clarke, Jean Millard and Vanessa Johnson. Drinks, including the very popular 'Churcher's Fizz', were served in the Donald Brooks Auditorium, where OCs could mingle and see a display relating to their school years from the archive. After a warm welcome from the Headmaster, OCs were taken into Old College via the Tercentenary Path to enjoy a delicious 'school dinner' plated up from the servery in the dining hall. 

After lunch, tours around the school's premises were led by current Sixth Form students. Those attending from the 2014 cohort were treated to a tour given by their former teachers Ian Crossman and Richard Hoe. OC Lucy Shires (14) said, 'It was so wonderful to be welcomed back to Churcher's and reconnect with my year group, some of whom I haven't seen since I left school. It was also really special having a tour of the school led by our former teachers. It was amazing to see all of the exciting new developments and also some areas of the school which are the same as when we left - visiting spaces like our form rooms, the R&P rooms, the upstairs of the library and of course Ramshill was so evocative and I enjoyed it immensely.'
