50 Years of Girls at Blundell's
In September 1975, Blundell's School welcomed its first female pupil, Arabella Ashworth, marking the beginning of a transformative journey towards coeducation.
This September we are proud to celebrate fifty years of girls at Blundell's, marking half a century of female contributions to our school's rich history.
Over the next 6 months, we will be sharing reflections, memories, videos, and images from both past and present Blundellians, as well as former and current staff. We will also highlight the exciting activities our current pupils are undertaking as part of this campaign, while showcasing the remarkable evolution of female education at Blundell’s.
Campaign Highlights for 2025:
