The theme for the service and Old Girls' Day was "Generations". Jane Barnett (staff member from 1954-1983) read the Epistle and Suzannah Royds ( 2004 Leaver) read the Gospel. Liz Chalwin ( 1967 Leaver) and her daughter Olivia Chalwin ( 1995 Leaver) read the Intercessions.
As part of the Service there was a Eulogy and Dedication of a Plaque in memory of Lady Daphne Heald, CBE, Major David Elliott, MC; and Sir David Calcutt, QC; Governors of the School.
