Please walk round the School and see it as it is today. Look at the wide variety of activities undertaken by our pupils.
Woodbridge School was founded in 1662 and you can see the original building in Woodbridge today. It is in Seckford Street. The School moved to its present site in 1864 and it is that building you see as you come up the drive. Marryott House. It is the most familiar image of our school.
Look at it, firstly, as it was one hundred years ago.
Glance up the avenue of lime trees towards School House, built in 1894/5.
Look the limes have just been planted!
Here is Marryott House today, now the administrative centre of the School.
Meet the Headmaster? Let's go straight up to his office
Headmaster, Stephen Cole comments: 'Old Woodbridgians are always welcome to any of our school functions - our plays, our matches, our concerts and lectures. They are welcome to visit informally during the working week.'
Here are several views of School House from the air, the front and the side. A late Victorian masterpiece, or monstrosity. No one can ever say which. It houses boarders of both sexes now and the Housemaster is Mr Adam Lubbock.
Glance across at the School Chapel, built in American colonial style, though no one really knows why. It was actually constructed by the Headmaster and pupils in the mid 1920s. It is another familiar image of Woodbridge School. Incidentally, a remarkable number of Old Woodbridgians actually get married there! Here are four views both in the sunshine and the snow!
Recognise the view? Looking into the old quad through the trees. This summer huge changes are taking place in the quad. The old classrooms - if you are quite ancient - or the old houserooms - if you are reasonably modern - have been completely revamped to offer more common-room space for the pupils. A first floor has been added to these rooms.
Here below is the image much beloved and remembered by Old Woodbridgians across the years. The altar upon which so many cricketing sacrifices have been made and so many teams have soared to victory. The focal point of hundreds of sports days across the years when records have been broken and tears have been shed. Yes, the Sports Pavilion will carry many thousands of bittersweet memories for Old Woodbridgians everywhere.
This, of course, is Queens House which will need no introduction to its many residents.
