“The school was officially opened in May 1993 and we are marking our 20th birthday with a week of celebrations.”

Eh? If the school was opened in 1993 doesn’t that make it the 21st anniversary this year?
@Andy: Good question. I’m told the school opened to pupils in September 1993 but the official opening ceremony didn’t take place until May 1994. So it’s the 20th anniversary of the official opening!
