News from John O'Gaunt School
John O'Gaunt School is pleased to announce that it has received grant funding
from Hungerford Town Council and Greenham Common Trust to set up an alumni
support group for the school with the help of the charity Future First.
There are various ways that alumni can support their old school: by offering
career advice, mentoring and work experience for current students; or by volunteering
at school events and fundraising.
