Unveiling of new Oxbridge boards

OPs and guests inspect the new boards
OPs and guests inspect the new boards

Last Friday we were joined by over 50 OPs and their loved ones as we unveiled new boards celebrating the school’s proud history of producing students who go on to study at Oxford and Cambridge.  Installed outside the Memorial Library, these new boards extend the historic Oxbridge Scholarships and Exhibitions boards on display downstairs in G Block which stopped in 1982.  Almost 500 OPs are listed, demonstrating the high level of academic excellence at PGS that continues today.

OPs from the 1980s to the 2020s attended, with some bringing their parents and others their children.  While for some it was a chance for a mini reunion with former classmates, for others it was simply a chance to revisit the school for the first time in decades.  It was, as one attendee put it, 'an incredibly special and memorable evening'.  We look forward to adding the names of this year's Oxbridge undergraduates shortly.

If you were unable to attend the event and would like to visit to see your name on the board, please contact the Development Office.  We would be delighted to arrange a mutually convenient time.
