In 2012 Lewes Old Grammar School will be celebrating its quincentenary anniversary and we are planning to hold various events during the year to celebrate this milestone.
A sub committee is currently co-ordinating this very exciting project and below is an outline diary of the various activities that are proposed.
It is hoped that guests and past & present staff, students and parents will wish to join in and attend as many of the events and performances as they can.
Building on the original work by Tim Burton - a former student - a book on the history of LOGS is being compiled - any information would be most welcome.
Please contact Stephanie Gould - Business Development Officer with any such historical details/information - goulds@logs.uk.com
