It was wonderful to welcome so many alumnae along with current and former staff and parents back to Tormead on Saturday 22nd March for a fantastic day of alumnae fun and fizz in the sunshine. The day started with alumnae netball against our current pupils’ team with great team spirit and camaraderie shown by all. The pupil team had a close win of 43 to 28 but the bacon butties certainly made up for it for the alums. We then took the alums and their parents to visit our new Urnfield development. They were incredibly impressed with the transformation of the site and were excited for our current pupils to have the use of such an amazing facility. Everyone was looking forward to a return trip to Tormead next year for our 120 years of Tormead Sport celebrations hosted at the Urnfield site.

The afternoon saw a further 80 alumnae returning for afternoon tea and tours whilst reminiscing with their former classmates and teachers. They relayed stories about their time at Tormead including one alumna who, with her friend in Prep School, decided to leave the site and go on an ‘adventure’ without letting any of the teachers know. Needless to say, staff and the police sent out a search party to find them.

We were also joined by three reunions from the classes of 1995, 2010 and 2020 celebrating their 20, 15 and 5-year anniversaries respectively. We are thrilled that everyone came back to say hello and look forward to welcoming you all back again in the near future for Tormead’s 120-year anniversary celebrations.
