A variety of celebratory events are being planned for pupils, staff, parents, Old Felstedians and members of our community to commemorate this momentous occasion. We will send you further information in due course, but thought you might like to keep the dates free. You can keep up to date with progress at www.felsted.org /450, where you will also find details of some unique merchandise we have developed specifically for our 450th anniversary year. Richard Lord Riche, resident of Leez Priory in Felsted, founded the School in 1564 to provide education and alms houses for his local parish. We plan to celebrate his legacy in style over the coming year and encourage you to join us at these wonderful occasions. I look forward to welcoming you.
