Nicholas Hawksmoor School

Class of '77 re-union

Were you in the upper 6th form at Nicholas Hawksmoor School, Borehamwood, in 1977; or in the fifth year in 1975? Not sure? You would have been amongst the last intake at 11 years old, in September 1970, to Borehamwood Grammar School, or amongst the first intake at 13 when it became an upper school.

If you were there, then put this date - Saturday 14th July 2012 - in your diary, and come along to our 35th anniversary re-union in 2012. We have been meeting every five years since 1977 on the 2nd Saturday in July.

32nd Anniversary Reunion in 2009

19 people met on 11 July 2009 at the Mops and Brooms to celebrate a special "now we are 50" anniversary.

This web page will be updated soon, with photos of the 2009 reunion and information about the next one. Hopefully this will be by the end of July. (I havent properly updated this site since 2007 so I might take the opportunity to give it a facelift). If you would like to be sent a reminder when the site is updated, or if you would like a CD-ROM of the photos, please contact me.
