Head, Craig Williams, then invited two pupils – the sons of former Josca’s and Abingdon School students – to cut the cake.<\/p>\n

After enjoying afternoon tea, celebrations continued with a 10 a side cricket match between the Senior and Prep Schools, observed by families within the school community who brought along their own picnics.
