Were you in the upper 6th form at Nicholas Hawksmoor School, Borehamwood, in 1977; or
in the fifth year in 1975? 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 10th July 2027 - in your diary, and come along to our 50th Anniversary Reunion in 2022. We have been meeting every five years since 1977 on the second Saturday in July. There is currently some discussion in our Facebook Group as to whether we should meet more frequently than every five years, so please check, in case we alter the date.

50th Anniversary Reunion in 2027 Saturday 10th July 2027 - check here or on Facebook for the venue and time. |
We have a Facebook Group,
hawksmoor77, which you can join. If you
are not familiar with Facebook you can read this guide.
Please note, though, that the group is intended primarily for people in our year at Nicholas Hawksmoor (and those who had close ties to our year) it is not intended to be for general school reunions.
