From tiny reception class pupils to those rather more advanced in years, there was a wonderful atmosphere as pupils and supporters celebrated a grand milestone.
Thousands have attended Mayville High School, in Clarendon Road, Southsea, over the years and many gathered together to mark the independent school’s 120th anniversary with a fancy dress garden party.
