Welcome to our website especially for former pupils, former parents, and staff of Hymers – we’re pleased you’ve dropped by to take a look around and hope you find it interesting. Whether you’re thinking about re-connecting with an OH or you want to find out about our programme of alumni events, or perhaps you’d like to support us with our current fundraising appeal - you are in the right place!
I’d like to start by thanking Will for his dedication alongside the team to the role last year, and for handing over a vibrant OHA. Here I am then, approaching my half century and school a distant memory. Am I excited? Of course I am! What’s not to love about sharing a year with the team at Hymers, reminding everyone how fortunate we all are to be part of this family.
In truth though, it doesn’t really seem like a distant memory. I have lots of friendships still from school, frequently sharing memories together. My own children are also here now so I get to enjoy supporting them with their varied activities at this incredible location. It’s truly a privilege to be asked to be part of the team, and I look forward to meeting as many Old Hymerians and teachers, past and present, as possible at various events throughout the year.
We are all ultimately here to support each other, and ensure as many future generations as possible benefit from what Hymers has to offer. Life can be challenging sometimes but we want to be as inclusive as possible and appeal and support as many Hymerians as possible. Do let us know if you’ve any ideas, suggestions or constructive feedback as to how we can make the year even better.
Please support the OHA and spread the world to as many of your friends as possible and do come to as many of the events as you can throughout the year. The team work hard to organise these, for you.., the Old Hymerian community.
