Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest fraternal societies. The lessons Freemasonry teaches in its ceremonies are to do with moral values. We believe that in applying these values to our lives we become better, more rounded characters.
This Lodge was founded in 1920 and continues in good strength today. We hosted the Millennium Festival of the Public School Lodges Council at the School, which was attended by some five hundred people who had an exceptional day in Chapel, Big School and in marquees on the Upper Hundred.
We meet three times a year in London and once at the School. We have about forty members of all ages and from all houses who all enjoy the fellowship and philosophy of Freemasonry. The principal focus of our charitable activities is the School (we give an annual 'Gap Year' Bursary) and young persons. The current Master is Michael Khajeh-Noori (HS 1985-89) and our Wardens are Edward Judge (Sc 1975-80) and Ian Mitchell (Sc 1976-80).
All OTs and members of the school staff are eligible to join the OT Lodge.
