Following on from our successful events last year the next of these informal breakfasts is to be held in the Foyer of the 1532 Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday 6 March 2019. Parents from across the School, together with past parents and Old Bristolians are invited to come along and meet each other in an informal setting. This is a regular event for our School community, where a group of business professionals with the shared common interest of Bristol Grammar School can meet up and share their ideas. We will be asking some Sixth Form pupils to join us together with staff and former staff which will also give attendees the opportunity to find out about what is happening at the School. We are delighted that we will be joined by OBs Matt Wilson and Joe Murley, who will give a short presentation on their new business venture. Come and hear about their business Datemakers, described by Tech Spark as "Injecting some digital delight into the South West’s love bugs is Bristol-based startup DateMakers, the web app that’s making it easier than ever to find unique activities to impress your date and keep that all-important spark going strong" The event will be free – but will have limited spaces which will be allocated on a "first come first served basis". We ask that you let us know if you can’t make it so that others can have the opportunity to come along. Look forward to seeing you on 6 March.

Charter Day, held at Bristol Cathedral, is one of the key events in the BGS calendar. It is the occasion when we celebrate King Henry VIII’s granting of the School Charter in 1532, and when the School is on show to the people of Bristol. The tradition of wearing a daffodil was established by the wife of Cyril Norwood, and the service was moved to the Cathedral in John Garrett’s time. The date of the charter granted to Bristol Grammar School was 17 March 1532. A few tickets will be avaialble to attend and are offered on a first come first served basis.
