tUDor At 175

Founded in 1850, Tudor Hall is one of the oldest girls’ boarding and day schools in the UK.

In 2025-26 we are celebrating everything that has made this possible, as well as focussing on the future of our great school for generations of girls to come.

Celebrating 175 years of Tudor Hall

Our celebrations will concentrate on bringing people together to reflect on the ethos and values that have shaped Tudor girls for the last 175 years.

This year will be one of celebration, reflection and fun, focussing on the Tudor of the past, the present as well as Tudor of the future.

The 175th anniversary is a moment for the whole community to come together, as well as a chance to reflect on the school we want to flourish for the next 175 years.

175 events in 2025-26

As we enter our 175th year we warmly invite you to join us at a series of events throughout the year to celebrate our past, present and future. We will be sharing these events with the whole Tudor Community - current families, Old Tudorians and Friends of Tudor Hall.

Tudor Voices

Old Tudorians share their memories of Tudor through the years. This archive will be added to over the year.

I popped into Tudor Hall this summer when visiting from Australia, to see everything and show my daughters around the school. I want to wish everyone a very happy 175th birthday. It’s absolutely wonderful; I have so many special memories and many, many friends from my happy time here and I hope you have a fantastic celebration.
