Events and Reunions
Why come to a Kingsley School Reunion?
When a former pupil receives an invitation to a school reunion, there must be many, varied reactions: curiosity; enthusiasm; nostalgia; apprehension perhaps. Remember those school trips and drama productions. Did I really wear that uniform? And whatever loosened those once-so-strong ties of friendship?
Yet, if your busy life permits, you should come to at least one reunion. Many alumni say the experience is often invigorating. Rather like being on a toboggan that is about to enter a banked curve just a little too fast. Some faces are a blur; others are, happily, instantly familiar.
The passing of time seems altered. As you meet with former classmates and teachers, the present disappears, and a more intense, shared past envelops you. Your perspective shifts. Where’s the dining room? Wasn’t that where we had Music? And where was Science?
Self-awareness often deepens as, with conversation and recollection, you realise how parts of you (and others) stay the same, while new talents, skills, relationships and experiences have shaped the person you now are.
Our reunions offer a chance to gather afresh at The Kingsley School with those who were a significant part of your life in surroundings which, we believe, will be welcoming, reassuring and, yes, invigorating.
