Welcome to Gala Day 2023 This year Gala Day presents the opportunity to celebrate our centenary and the many achievements the pupils have made across all parts of the school.

Our gates open at 9am and we invite you to join us for breakfast which will be served next to the mansion. Welcome speeches from the headmaster, William Brierly and school pupil representatives will take place at 10am on our big events screen next to the mansion steps. After this, there are sports events, performances, activities, demonstrations and workshops for the whole family to see and do. Please consult the 'What's On Guide' on the pages that follow in this booklet for further details.

To keep you refreshed, food and drink including toasties, pizzas, paella, hot dogs and burgers, sweet and savoury crepes and ice cream are available from our food market all day.

We hope you have a wonderful day celebrating all that is Claremont Fan Court School.
