South Wilts Grammar School opened in 1927. In 2027 it turns one hundred, and South Wilts Connect is where everyone who passed through it finds each other again - to come back, to help a leaver, or simply to see what the place looks like now.
Free, and open to everyone who was ever here - pupils, sixth formers, staff and parents. Find the people you were at school with, come to a coffee morning, mentor someone starting out, or read what the school is doing now. The centenary year is the best possible reason to be back in touch.

A pound a month from enough people buys things the budget will never reach. More...
The senior squad is through to the regionals for the first time since 2011. More...
New furniture, better light, and forty more study spaces - most of it paid for by the Friends. More...
Four appointments, and a job that has changed rather more than the title suggests. More...
Matched giving is the cheapest way to double a donation, and most people never check. More...
Eleven things, from a minibus to a set of music stands. More...
Thursday 19 November, 6.30pm. We need alumni on the tables, not on a stage. More...
Twenty tables, a hundred and fifty students and eight minutes a table. It is the most useful hour the sixth form gets all year and it depends entirely on alumni turning up. There are no talks and no panel. Students move between tables in small groups and ask whatever they like, … Read more
The Friends' biggest afternoon of the year: forty stalls in the hall and the dining room, a tombola that takes more than anyone expects, and the school choir at two o'clock. It raised GBP 4,200 last year, every penny of which went back into the school, and it is run entirely by … Read more
The centenary year opens here. The Head sets out the programme for the whole of 2027, the Centenary Fund appeal launches formally, and the first of the archive display goes up in the Main Hall. It is a short evening by design - drinks from six thirty, speeches that finish by eig… Read more
Fifty years since the class of 1977 left, and the reunion falls in the centenary year, which makes it the one everybody has been counting towards. Lunch in the dining hall, a tour for anyone who wants one, and the 1977 photographs out on the tables rather than behind glass. Two … Read more
The alumnae side has lost this fixture four years running and shows no sign of learning from it. The school squad is through to the regional finals this season, which is unlikely to help. Two sevens, four quarters, and a squad that is picked on the afternoon from whoever turns u… Read more
The summer version of the autumn coffee morning, held outside if the weather allows and in the common room if it does not. This one falls three weeks before the Centenary Festival, so there will be a table of Festival information and someone to answer questions about tickets, pa… Read more
The centre of the centenary year, and the one date to put in the diary if you only come to one thing. The whole site is open from eleven until late. The archive exhibition runs all day in the hall. The decade tents on the field are the part people talk about afterwards - one per… Read more
