We are very proud to record the history of generations of Donhead boys on this page. Attending Donhead has become a tradition for many families and continues to this day.
We are very grateful also to Bill & William Howard (Grandfather and Great-Grandfather to Louis and Matthew Farrow) for their memories of the school. Both of these documents can be read below but here are a couple of extracts:
‘Other fading memories give glimpses of rugby matches against Kings College … conker competitions in the playground, a stamp collecting club, fretwork in the handicraft room and Mass in the College Chapel.’ (William E R Howard: Donhead 1935-1939)
‘I was also a Campion boy and all pupils were encouraged to take pride in their House achievements and the House ‘Leader Board’ was always on prominent display. Such competitive spirit is frowned upon in many schools today, but for an indolent under-achieving child like me it was an ideal motivational too’’. (Bill G Howard: Donhead 1964-1970)
