Saturday 7 June 2025

1965, 1970, 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015 leavers, and a number of staff who taught them, are warmly invited back to Warwick School for our OW Anniversary Reunions on Saturday 7 June 2025. These reunions are for those who left at the end of the U6 in those years, plus classmates who may have left earlier.

Time: 14:00-17:30
Venue: Warwick Hall (formerly Guy Nelson Hall)
Dress: Casual

Meet back at school for complimentary refreshments, a welcome from the Head Master and tours of the school. There will be also be a card bar. 

Former Head of English Dr Scott Wilson (WS Staff 1979-2010) kindly penned these thoughts on OW reunions.

Why come to an OW Reunion?
"When an OW receives an invitation to a Warwick School reunion, there must be many, varied reactions: curiosity; enthusiasm; nostalgia; apprehension perhaps since not all memories of school are good ones.  Remember, too, those lessons on calculus. Did I really have to swim in that outdoor pool? And whatever loosened those once-so-strong ties of friendship?

Yet, if your busy life permits, you should come to at least one reunion. Why? Well, many OWs say the experience is often invigorating. Rather like being on a toboggan that is about to enter a banked curve just a little too fast. Some faces are a blur; others are, happily, instantly familiar.

The passing of time seems altered. As you meet with former classmates, the present disappears, and a more intense, shared past envelops you. Your perspective shifts. Can that figure over there really be Mr Hudson? And where have they hidden the Guy Nelson Hall? Self-awareness often deepens as, with conversation and recollection, you realise how parts of you (and others) stay the same, while new talents, skills, relationships and achievements have shaped the person you now are.

Our reunions are emphatically not “networking opportunities” nor the educational equivalent of “cold-calling”. Instead, they offer a chance to gather afresh with those who were a significant part of your life in surroundings which, we believe, will be welcoming, reassuring and, yes, invigorating."

While there is no charge for attending, please register now so we know who's coming and who we still need to contact.
