As part of John Lyon's 150th anniversary celebrations in 2026 we are looking for 150 Old Lyonians to help us Capture 150 JLS Moments by sharing your memories, milestones and experiences from your time at school.
Whether it's an unforgettable event, a lifelong friendship, or a small moment that made a big difference, we'd love to hear your story. These reflections will help us celebrate the school's rich history and the many people who have shaped it over the years.
If you are able, please include any photographs that accompany your story - including old class photos, sports teams, performances, or snapshots of everyday school life. Images bring these memories to life and help us build a collective archive for future generations.
Simply submit your story and any accompanying photos directly to lyonianassociation@johnlyon.org.
