Peter Jenkin’s funeral will be held on Tuesday 19th December, 2:50pm at Stourbridge Cemetery and Crematorium.

With his family’s blessing colleagues, parents, students and Old Foleyans are welcome to attend and remember a life well-lived.  No flowers please, and no mourning attire.  Instead his family ask you wear rugby, football or cricket shirts, or OSH kit.

Following the service, Peter’s family will return to OSH and you are welcome to join them for refreshments in the Great Hall.  If you are planning to attend, we’d be grateful if you would please email marketing@oshsch.com so we can gauge numbers for catering.  We hope those who wish to join are able to do so.

In lieu of flowers, Peter’s family are fundraising for Movember, the leading charity changing the face of men’s health on a global scale, focusing on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.  If you are able and would like to contribute in Peter’s memory, please visit www.justgiving.com/page/dpj-fundraiser.

The news of Peter’s passing has rippled across our community and the warmth students and staff have shown one another is testament to Peter’s own generosity of spirit.  It is no surprise to hear of many kind words said about Peter which we’re sure his family will enjoy when the time is right.  Thank you to everyone who has reached out in recent weeks.

While we have condolence books in school, we know many in our wider community would like to share their memories of Peter.  As such, there is now an online Book of Remembrance open at: https://rememberancebook.net/book/peter-jenkins/.  Please do share your stories and anecdotes on this page, which will be turned into a book for Peter’s wife and sons.
