This week, some of our former pupils have been helping current pupils prepare for life beyond Friars. 
Our Alumni have been sharing their professional expertise & conducting mock university interviews with some of our Upper VIth students.

A group of former pupils returned to Friars recently for a highly-anticipated match against our current 1st XI Hockey team, and it did not disappoint!

Despite some pre-match nerves, our 1st XI put up a good battle - after one goal being disallowed, the game ended in a 3-3 draw.

There was a little reunion of boarders this summer in Manchester. These Former pupils left Friars circa 1997. John Nabozny, who sent us through these fab photos said "As always with ex boarders, you always have this unbreakable bond...like it was yesterday!"

We really enjoyed welcoming back the Class of 79 on 3rd August. The former pupils enjoyed a BBQ lunch, followed by a tour of the school & a chance to relive memories with the archive materials! It was wonderful to see everyone reconnecting & we love hearing about your escapades!
