Reunions

We are also delighted to help you reconnect with old school friends either directly or by attending regular events throughout the year. The Annual Academical Dinner is also a fantastic opportunity to connect with former pupils from around the globe. These events are a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old friends, share memories, tour the School and reminisce about glory days on the “Field of Dreams” or on the Hockey pitch.

We have a full calendar of fantastic events throughout the year and we would also be delighted to see you and your family at Balgray on a Saturday morning to support our pupils when they are playing Cricket, Hockey or Rugby. This is a great social occasion with our wonderful PTA supplying breakfast rolls and hot drinks in the Miller Drummond Suite.
