The School was especially delighted to welcome retired Headmaster, Mr Chris Parker, to the commemoration service.

The service was also attended by the current Lord Mayor, Jeannie Packer, and her husband.

Following the service, guests were invited to attend the traditional Cheese and Ale Ceremony at the Council House, where dues were paid to the clergy and  members of the City Council, in keeping with the Founder's wishes, as declared in the School's Foundation Deed.

This year's representative scholar was Max Bowling from 7H who accepted the traditional groat from the Headmaster - which this year was presented in a framed certificate for Max to keep.
