For Old Cryptians this is the highlight of the social calendar and our President invites you to take part in any of the events which have been organised – watching the Rugby Match on Saturday afternoon, attending the AGM at the School and enjoying the Dinner in the School Hall. OC’s are also invited to the Morning Service at St. Mary de Crypt Church on the following day. (more…)
OLD CRYPTIANS’ CENTENARY BURSARY 2001
By Clive Thomas, President 2012-13 and Chairman of the Trustees
The Trustees’ Audit: January 2013
Since the launch of the Bursary on Founders’ Day, July 2002, only 98 of a vast number Old Cryptians, have become donors. Sadly 18 of these persons have passed away. Ideally in the short term the Trustees seek to make good the shortfall and take our number of donors beyond 100. (more…)
Howard Allen would particularly like to locate/contact one or more of the following for a “cricketing table” at the Annual Dinner on Saturday, 23rd March – Keith Michael; David Turner; Paul Alder; Roger Knights. Can anyone help? Howard’s email address is howard@howardallen.force9.co.uk
Why not attend the dinner at the Crypt and meet cricketing friends?
23RD March 2013 – 6 for 7pm. at the School (more…)
The 475th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Crypt in 1539
In 2014 the O.C.C. committee would like to mark this special occasion with the publication of a book of photos and prints of the School and of the Old Cryptians’ Club.
It is intended that the book will reflect fully the rich variety in the life of the Crypt community since 1539.
The Headmaster has given his full support to this project. (more…)
POST OF SECRETARY: Vacant since AGM 2012.
The workload of this officer has been much reduced by the devolvement of the officer’s several functions. (more…)
Our new website is now live, with some exciting new features. If you have comments, Richard Briggs, the Webmaster, would be very pleased to hear from you.
Howard Allen, a past President and Secretary, and who has a long association with the Club is compiling a book in anticipation of the 475th anniversary of the Crypt School in 2014. He would very much like to hear from anyone who has photographs (particularly the modern era) to contribute to this publication.
It is now 10 years since work first started on setting up the Bursary Fund (which is why we called it the Centenary Bursary Fund 2001), and I therefore thought it would be useful to review where we are, and what has happened in that period.
It was at the AGM in March 2002 that following a proposal by (the late) Hugh Roe, the 29 members present unanimously approved the set up of a Bursary Fund that would be for the benefit of talented or gifted pupils and students of the Crypt School

David Lamper, the Head since 2000 has resigned and will leave at the end of the 2006/07 school year. The letter to parents from the Chair of the Governors is reproduced below.
8th March, 2007
Dear Parents,
I am both delighted and sad to inform you that David Lamper, Headmaster, has been offered and accepted the post as Headmaster of Kent College in Canterbury, a large independent school, from September 2007.
Mr. Lamper has been with the school for almost 8 years and during that time the school has gone from strength to strength. The academic performance of students has improved year on year, school finances are strong, and the school continues to invest heavily in the curriculum. It is very much in evidence around the school and we have also been able to invest significantly in the fabric of the buildings, but recognising that we still have more to do. This has been an exciting time for The Crypt School, if not worrying from time to time, particularly when the school was threatened with closure by the County Council. The Head’s hand on the helm has been steady during these troubled times and we have now steered into clear blue water, with many exciting opportunities ahead.
