The twenty-fifth reunion for the class of 1983 was held at the school on Friday 3 October. The Head, Katy Ricks, welcomed the guests in the library and spoke of the great changes that had occurred during their time at the school: the opening of the Sackville Theatre, the School's 550th celebrations and the announcement that the school would become fully co-educational. Ben Hall's after dinner speech ranged from what it meant to be part of the Kent Assisted Places scheme to the pleasure of seeing John Guyatt sharing in the celebration. A very successful party then moved on to the Royal Oak.
