Class of 1982 Catch Up After a Decade

Pictured here at LEH 10 years ago, we are delighted that there will be another great turnout of the Class of 1982 at the Alumnae Reunion next month, now celebrating 40 years since they left.

Charlotte Duff, Diana Gardner-Brown and Ali Muir have all kept in touch with a wide circle of friends from school days on Facebook, and have been busy encouraging former classmates to sign up. It’s not too late to join them on Saturday 1st October if you can!

Over 35 of them got together to mark their 30th reunion in 2012, described afterwards as both a “strange and wonderous” event.  A highlight of that get-together was a tour of the school by former deputy head Trish White (now aged 85 and who we hope will also be here this year).

Vicky Finlay recalls: “We wandered the familiar corridors marvelling at the same shelves for homework, the same blue-flecked wallpaper in the classrooms and the same desks. And the changes too – sewing classes that involved making something fashionable, some kind of digital security device at every door, no ink wells.

“Looking round at those lovely, familiar faces, most of which I had not seen for 10, 20 or 30 years, which I had once known so well and yet in another way not at all, I saw how lucky I had been with my classmates.  It was a special evening.  Thank you LEH for allowing us a little walk back in time.”

If you'd like to be put in touch with Charlotte Duff or any of the others orgnaising the reunion, please email us and we will pass your messages on: alumnae@lehs.org.uk.
