Founders’ Day is an occasion on which the school community reflects and gives thanks for its long and distinguished history, whilst in particular remembering those who, over the years, have been supporters and benefactors of the school; Thomas Clifton, Isabel Birley, Cuthbert Clifton, Thomas Westby, John Parker, Thomas Langtree, Thomas Hesketh, Arthur Greenacres, Henry Colborn, James Barker, William Grimbaldeston. Thank you to The Reverend Father Richard Dashwood MA SCP for leading our commemoration service.
