St John’s School were delighted to host another of the successful London walks on Thursday 19 September, welcoming parents and OJs alike, to a guided tour of Highgate Cemetery in London.
The sun shone, the bunting billowed and the balloons bobbed as the School welcomed more than 200 OJs and their families for a very special OJ reunion day on Sunday 9 June to celebrate the centenary anniversary of OJs returning to the School.
On Wednesday 6 March, a group of OJs and St John’s former parents gathered in London for the latest in our series of guided walks exploring the capital.
We were thrilled to welcome back OJ and one of the Royal Opera House's Jette Parker Young Artists, Dominic Sedgwick, to work with our young singers on Thursday 7 February.
At St John’s we are always interested to hear the inspiring stories of the lives that our OJs go on to lead after leaving school and Rowena Cole, The Head, was recently delighted to meet with OJ Leah Chowdhry (South 2008-2010) to talk about her significant fundraising activity.

This year’s annual OJ Dinner took place on Friday 12 October, and was a wonderful evening of celebration. Spanning the generations from the 1940s onwards, 115 OJs from eight decades were in attendance.
The high level of sport which St John’s pupils are renowned for does not conclude at the end of Upper Sixth. Many OJs (St John’s alumni) have taken their rugby careers to new levels after leaving school.
