MORE than 500 people enjoyed a tea party to celebrate 100 years of Bournemouth School for Girls.

Past and present pupils and staff came together to celebrate school's centenary with some travelling from as far afield as Australia and America.

After a welcome from head teacher Alistair Brien, guests were able to look around the school, catch up with old friends and look at the school archives.

Mr Brien said: "It's been a delight to welcome back so many Old Girls for such a special and happy occasion."
