Tonight, the Christ’s Hospital community comes together for Founder’s Day Dinner. 💙

It’s an evening to celebrate our community, our shared purpose and the spirit of generosity that has been at the heart of Christ’s Hospital since its foundation.

As we celebrate the past, we’re also looking to the future and continuing our mission to give young people the opportunity to thrive.

Funds raised through tonight’s auction will help support this year’s Giving Day, bringing our community together once again to make a difference.

Here’s to a wonderful evening, and to what we can achieve together. 💛💙

Old Blues, think you’ve still got it? 👀

Old Blues March with the Band
Wednesday 25 November, 12.45-15:00

This Giving Day, we’re calling on Old Blues to dust off those marching skills and join us for a very special Old Blue Marching moment.

It’s your chance to step back into line, reconnect with fellow Old Blues and be part of the Giving Day action. 💙

So, who’s ready to get back on the march?

Great to see so many Old Blues reconnecting in Boston for Founder's Day celebrations. Thank you to Friends Of Christ's Hospital USA for organising such a successful weekend and for continuing to strengthen the bonds of the Christ’s Hospital community on both sides of the Atlantic. 💙💛

📜 475 years of CH history

The CH Museum team took a trip to the London Archives recently to research next year’s exhibition marking the 450th anniversary of the founding of CH’s Writing School.

They uncovered some incredible pieces of CH history, from the original charter signed by King Edward VI in 1553 and the earliest student registers from the 1560s, to apprenticeship records and school menus from 1800.

One discovery that might make today’s pupils appreciate the Dining Hall? Breakfast once consisted of a small b**r and bread, while each child was allocated a maximum of just two ounces of cheese a day! 🧀

We look forward to sharing more as the exhibition takes shape.

Betrayal. Loyalty. Treason.

What drives people to turn against their country, cause, family or friends?

On Tuesday 3 November at 8pm, Dr Andrew Wines returns to Christ's Hospital Theatre to examine some of history's most notorious traitors, spies and double agents, and to ask whether treason can sometimes be an act of loyalty.

🎟 Old Blues can book discounted tickets for £5 (usual price £8) per person by contacting the Box Office: 📞 01403 247434 📧 [email protected]

On Monday, we welcomed Old Blues David London (LHA, LaA, 77-84) and Keith Worker (MaB, ColA 71-78) back to Christ's Hospital.

Keith is Board Member and Treasurer of Friends Of Christ's Hospital USA uniting Old Blues across the USA.

During David's visit, he was reunited with his 1981 pencil portrait by Susan Parmenter, at the CH Museum, drawn when he was just 16 years old.

💙 Thank you to Keith and David, for returning to share your experiences and memories with the CH community.
