WELCOME TO GALA DAY! Welcome to Gala Day 2022. This year Gala Day presents the opportunity to celebrate in person, 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 on the mansion rear lawns. Welcome speeches from the headmaster, William Brierly and school pupil representatives will take place at 10am after which 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. Make sure you take part in our fun, family treasure hunt which runs from 11.30am. Start at the Treasure Hunt HQ next to the mansion and spend an enjoyable hour exploring parts of the school site you may have never seen before. To keep you refreshed, food and drink including Mexican food, pizzas, paella, hot dogs and burgers, sweet and savoury crepes and ice cream are available from our food market and Betty's Cafe pod all day.
