I am pleased to showcase our Student of the Week winners; we enjoy celebrating success from a broad palette of achievement.
Whilst ‘confidence with humility’ values modesty, unsought recognition is an important element of life also.
All these boys were presented with our Student of the Week award during the Spring term.

Where are they now
We always enjoy hearing from former students.
Here you can read how Joe Hone (now a postgraduate student at Oxford University) found a manuscript which revealed Isaac Newton designed a medal for Queen Anne’s coronation in 1702.
If you’re an Old Boy and would like to feature on our ‘Where are they now’ pages then please get in touch with my PA, Sarah Nicholson. We’d be pleased to hear from you.
Muscovado
Our friends at Stoke Damerel Church have invited us to a fund raising event where the Burnt Out Theatre Company will present their play ‘Muscovado’ as part of a national tour.
Billed as a scorching new play about slavery in Nineteenth Century Barbados, performances are on Sunday 19 April at 6.30pm and on Monday 20 April at 7.30pm.
