As part of our 150th Anniversary celebrations, the school will come together for a special Anniversary Mass at St Antony of Padua Catholic Church on 15 July 2027.

The Mass will be a significant moment in our celebrations, bringing together our current students, governors, staff and members of our wider school community, alongside the Bishop of Brentwood and members of the clergy. It will provide an opportunity for our community to come together in prayer and thanksgiving as we reflect on 150 years of our school’s history, its Franciscan heritage and the many people who have helped shape its journey.

During the Mass, we will remember and pray for those who have gone before us, including former students, staff and members of our school community who are no longer with us. We will also give thanks for those who continue to serve and support the school today, and pray for all former and current members of our community who have contributed to the life and spirit of the school over the past 150 years.

The Anniversary Mass will be followed by a dedicated celebration for alumni and former students during the afternoon of 15 July. This special gathering will provide an opportunity for former students and members of the school community to return, reconnect with old friends, share memories and celebrate the special place the school has held in their lives.

Together, these celebrations will bring our community across generations together honouring our past, celebrating our present and looking ahead to the future of our school.

Please note that the Mass will be live-streamed on our school’s YouTube channel.
