Christ’s Hospital’s Family Day on 22 June was a vibrant and joyful celebration of school life, bringing together students, parents and staff for a packed programme of events and activities.
The day began with a warm welcome to families arriving on site, coinciding with the House Athletics track events, where students competed in good spirit and with great energy. The Hertford Centre was a lively hub throughout, hosting student-led affinity group stalls – a chance to meet the passionate leaders behind the 17 groups that reflect CH’s diverse and inclusive community. Games, treats and cultural displays brought colour and excitement to the space.
Elsewhere, the CH Museum opened its doors, offering a journey through the school’s rich history with interactive exhibits, hands-on activities and the ever-popular model railway. New for this year was a special display marking 50 years of CH Theatre.
Creative talent was on show in the GE Art Exhibition and across the Art School, where visitors could admire sock monkeys, sculpture and sketchbooks. Meanwhile, music filled the air thanks to Band practice in the Quad, some rock and pop entertainment in Garden Quad and a soulful Gospel Choir concert in the Chapel.
Cricket fans enjoyed a friendly 1st XI fixture against the Old Blues, and the afternoon saw charity fundraisers outside the boarding houses – complete with games, stalls and ice cream.
Families gathered for lunch on house lawns and later enjoyed tea and cake together before the day concluded at 5pm.
Family Day 2025 was a warm, fun-filled occasion and a true celebration of the CH community.
