150 Years of the Dragon

May 1, 2026

Throughout 2027, to mark the 150th anniversary of the School, we will be hosting celebratory events, sharing archival treasures, and spotlighting Old Dragons who embody the spirit of the School. Alongside these many moments of celebration, we are proud to be publishing a commemorative book marking 150 years of the Dragon through essays, photographs and reflections. 

__________

Bridging generations, from Lady Antonia Fraser CH, DBE, FRSL (OD 1944) to the young Dragons of 2027, our contributors span a rich tapestry of Dragon voices including teachers, Heads and Dragons past and present.

The book is now available to buy, offering the first opportunity to secure this special commemorative edition.
