Today the school is celebrating VE Day: understandably things were a bit noisier in 1945.
To greet you on our 165th anniversary, here are some very recogniseable faces from 1890 when the school was at Birmingham.
An old boy writes in the magazine of 1940, remembering how St John Henry Newman contributed to the life of the school he founded, playing the violin in the school orchestra, writing suitable versions of Roman comedies for the pupils, and examining them in Latin:
#TBThursday to 1913, in advance of tomorrow's 110th anniversary of the OS CCF.
The Earl Marshal at the last #Coronation was Bernard, Duke of Norfolk: here he is with a couple of friends in 1923, at the school's Caversham site. #ThrowbackThursday
The cricket season is getting under way: some things never change. Nets from the 1900s with some brave spectators. #TBThursday
We hope you enjoyed your time in the labs for Science week: here's what you'd have seen when you came for a lesson a hundred years ago at the school's site at Edgbaston, or sixty years ago in more familiar surroundings.
If you've been relaxing by the snooker table in your house lately here's a #ThrowbackThursday to the 1920s when Oratory pupils were doing much the same.
Our takeaway from the @OratoryRugby 1922 season is that we should look to the B team for quality results #OratoryRugby100 #OratoryConfidence.
The 1922 @OratoryRugby season sets off, with match reports already on blistering form #OratoryRugby100.
#TBThursday - as we get ready to celebrate 60 years of the Oratory School Boat Club, we look back at some of our Rowing 1st VIII throughout the years. See if you can spot our very own #OldOratorian & Head of Rowing @oratoryschool in this photo! @Oratoryrowing @OratoryArchives
Oratory School pupils brought out a series of magazines of varying longevity: here's a "onethly" from the year 1895/6, catering generously for the football-obsessed. #tbt
While you're waiting for your school photograph to come, try and recognise yourselves in this photo from before the First World War when the Oratory School was in Birmingham. #TBT
We've recently finished cataloguing a collection of 121 views from 1885 by an unknown photographer. bit.ly/3vwitcn Enjoy lots of evocative riverside views in #Oxfordshire and #Berkshire, featuring locks, bridges, mills, churches and inns. #RiverThames #Archives
On the eve of the Carton de Wiart military dinner, here's the man himself in 1897. #TBThursday
While you're recovering from your dramatic triumphs, here's the cast from the school play of 1892, Newman's recurring adaptation of a Terence comedy. Fr Norris kept a cast list for every performance. @OratoryClassics #OratoryDrama @OratoryNorris #TBThursday
Cutting-edge musicianship from @Oratory_Music: the school skiffle band relaxes in the Adam Room. #TBThursday
Here's Frances Wootten, "mulier fortis et sapiens", a strong and wise woman appointed by Cardinal Newman along with the Headmaster with full authority to look after the boys in his new school at the Birmingham Oratory. #InternationalWomensDay2022 @OratoryWootten
#TBT 100 years ago: good afternoon from the @OratoryRugby XV of 1922.
In 1945, after due deliberation, the Governors of the Oratory School decided to lay out a new cricket pitch as the school's war memorial.
