We are delighted to announce that the JAGS Development and Alumnae Relations Department (DAR), has been nominated for the IDPE Development Award 2025 in the Ambition and Progress category! This nomination celebrates the innovative ways we have strengthened connections within our alumnae community and advanced opportunities for engagement and support since the department formed in 2022. 

Through creative initiatives, meaningful reunion and networking events, and a commitment to fostering lifelong relationships, our team has worked hard to collaborate with the JAGS community and to ensure that JAGS alumnae remain an integral part of our school’s story. This recognition is a testament to the spirit of our community and the dedication of everyone involved, including Karen Doyle (Head of Development & Alumnae Relations), Penny Lofthouse (Events & Alumnae Relations Officer), Sydney Sherman (Development & Alumnae Relations Officer) and Gabe Kellett (Database & Gifts Officer). This would not have been possible without the support of so many in the JAGS community of our work – thank you.

We are proud to be considered for this award and look forward to continuing our mission of building a vibrant, connected alumnae network and fundraising for our life-changing bursary provision to reflect the values and ambition of JAGS.
