Last weekend, the Class of 1996 gathered in the Pavilion to reminisce and catch-up 30 years after leaving Ipswich School. The turnout was great, with many of the cohort and former teachers in attendance. There were around 40 OIs who came to reunite with their former classmates, some had travelled from as far as New Zealand. Everyone caught up over some drinks and a buffet lunch in the Pavilion, followed by a group photo and a few words from Head, Nick Gregory.

We then headed out for a tour of the School starting at Great School which is currently set-up for exams - this prompted some memories of exams being taken back in 1996. We headed upstairs via a few classrooms to the Library, and then headed to the Chapel, along the Heritage Corridor, and to the Dining Hall where 1996's head boy, Daniel Crewe (OI 1989-96) and head girl, Nicola Carnaby (OI 1994-96) got a photo in front of the Heads of School honours board. There were lots of stories and memories recounted as we made our way around the grounds.

The sun was shining and a lovely time was had by all in attendance.
