OLD PETERITE CLUB
The Old Peterite Club All Old Peterites are members of the ‘Old Peterite Club’. The Club is run by a committee which consists of Old Peterites, the Head Master and the School’s Development & Alumni Manager, who acts as the Secretary to the Club. The Club holds three meetings a year, and it works with the School to support and advise on the annual programme of OP events and activities. Committee members also volunteer at events such as OP Day.

It is wonderful that we’ve started to make some inroads into a return to normality and the start to 2021 at School, the return of our annual OP Day really showed that. It was great to see people back at the School and to be able to give the Class of 2020 and 2021 a proper welcome to the Old Peterite Community, with the addition of the Celebration Dinner in the evening in September 2021.

It makes such a difference to have events filling the diary and to see so many Old Peterites in person again. We had a great time in London at the drinks and it’s lovely to finally be planning even more events for 2022 and beyond! Especially after an unexpectedly quiet start to my time as OP President! Our regular Committee meetings have been filled with great discussions, as we are keen to make sure that we do all we can to bring together the Old Peterite Community. Please get in touch if you’ve got ideas you want to share or things you want to see! I want to commend the School on how well they have handled the challenges over the last couple of years- and still come away with wonderful achievements such as The TES awards- as Old Peterites and the parent of Old Peterites – I am very proud.

The Committee would like to publicly express its thanks to Committee Members Mike Jobling (1966) and Anthony Robinson (1973) for the time and commitment they have shown the OP Club Committee over the years. They are both stepping down from their roles, after both having made significant contributions to the Club. Both Mike and Anthony will continue to support the School and Club, Mike will continue to organise events in Newcastle and Anthony is continuing his role as a volunteer supporting the Archive Department.
I look forward to meeting you at an OP event in the near future, ‘Once a Peterite, always a Peterite’. Harry Gration Old Peterite President 2020-2022
