35-years of co-education celebration
Pupils from across the decades are being invited to get in touch as Hymers plans to stage a ‘35-years of co-education’ reunion in 2024. The school, which dates back to 1893 is planning a series of events in 2024 and the Development Office would like to get in with as many former pupils as possible...
We are especially looking to hear from anyone who attended Hymers College as a first sixth former dating back from 1972 or 1989 when the current co-educational Hymers was formed.
“Our school has a proud history and this has been celebrated with reunions over the years. Up until now, we have had distinct different groups of old boys and girls, and 2024 is designed to bring as many people as possible together for the first time. This will signal the continuation of a campaign to trace as many former pupils as possible particularly our earliest girls to Hymers.
We are inviting all former pupils to get in touch and we are appealing to people to contact their old school friends to ask them along to the reunion. The reunion provides an ideal opportunity for people to come together and share their memories.
Former pupils can gain access to our superb archive stretching back to the founding of Hymers in 1893. It is full of memories such as team photographs, educational records, and memorabilia and has been accessed by many former pupils. “We would welcome interest in the Archive along with any new items of memorabilia that former pupils may have at home that they would like the school to preserve.”
Anyone interested in attending an event next year or renewing their links with the school should contact The Development Office on 01482 347491 - we would be delighted to hear from you.
