It was a blast from the past for the classes of 90, 91 & 92 at their 30 Year reunion on Saturday 11th June. Memories were shared of learning to type on an electric typewriter, lifelong friends and pranks in the Boarding House, teachers who held a special place in […]
Year 12 students enjoyed a Careers event hosted by the OGA on Wednesday 25th May. Three Old Girtonians returned to their grassroots to share their professional and life experiences since leaving Girton with our Year 12 students.

It was an absolute blast at the 20 Year Reunion on Saturday 7th May for the classes of 2001 and 2002. Memories were shared of Mr Jones’ Milky Way challenge, last day pranks in the Year 12 Common Room and the infamous canteen cookies. It was especially delightful to see […]
It is not unusual for Old Girtonians to credit their time at school, or particular teachers, with shaping who they have become personally or professionally. Edward Smelt attended Girton from Year 3 and graduated in Year 12 (Riley) in 2003. He generously and fondly acknowledges both the school and many […]

There is a solidity that is almost tangible when two people who are “childhood sweethearts” come together. Emily Fawcett and Matthew Keech (both Frew 2015), also share a solidarity that comes from sharing responsibilities and interests since being thirteen years of age. Having joined the ranks of those who postponed […]
The Class of 2020 had much fun reconnecting with old classmates and former teachers at the OGA 1 year reunion on Friday 10th December. Thank you for coming from near and far. See you at the 5 Year Reunion!
