A wonderful time was had by all at the Old Shebbearians' Association 114th Annual Reunion Dinner, held at the RAF Club in Mayfair, with alumni from a wide range of ages in attendance. After a two year break, due to Covid, it was clear to see how happy people were to be able to get dressed up in their formal attire and catch up with both friends and previous teachers - a fantastic atmosphere!

The OSA is lucky enough to be able to hold the Reunion Dinners at the prestigious RAF Club each year, giving everyone a real sense of a special occasion and providing outstanding food and service. The oldest Shebbearian in attendance joined the school in 1955 but the cohort this year was weighted towards the 'younger Old Shebbearians' with many pupils attending who have left in the last 5 - 10 years. Our current Head Girl and Boy, Bella and Harrison gave excellent speeches about their Shebbear College experiences, and, having missed out on an 'in person' dinner last year, Samuel and Poppy, Head Boy and Girl from 2020-21, also gave a speech - it was fantastic to see them, now as Old Shebbearians! 

Mrs Kirby gave an update on the school and how we have navigated the challenges of the last two years and OSA President, Dick Corbett-Winder reflected on being the only president to have been in office for two years before handing over the president's chain to Oliver Sinden.
