A service was held to mark the 50th anniversary since the reopening of St Oswald’s Chapel at Ellesmere College, following a major fire. The present chapel was designed in 1926 by Sir Aston Webb and only finally completed in 1959 due to limited resources through the 30s and 40s. It was gutted as far as the Chancel Arch in the fire of June 23, 1966. Fire damage meant that all woodwork, with the exception of the roof timbers in the Lady Chapel and cupboards in the Choir Vestry, had to be replaced. The chapel plays host to a number of special services each year, including the Remembrance 25 Music, Drama, & Dance Service Eucharist and Community Carol Service.

  • Bulletin Friday 26 January 2018
    The Bulletin Friday 26 January 2018 Issue 120 From the Headmaster One of the Latin inscriptions in School Room notes HAEC OLIM MEMINISSE JUVABIT, one day it will be pleasant to remember these things. For those who were brought up around the 1980s screen-time was a concept that simply didn't exist; an apple was actually an apple. For most, the phraseology around computers was limited to Pac-Man and Space Invaders, to joysticks and floppy discs, to Atari and Commodore. Towards the end of the 1980s the computer age came to the RGS with a handful of BBC computers, programmable using BBC Basic and with storage reliant upon five-and-a-half-inch floppy discs. At this time, the School also appointed its first ever Head of Computing, Mike Bawtree. Fast forward to 2018 and technology has had a profound impact upon today's generation who have been born into a world where Google, mobile phones and laptops are all older than most of the students at the RGS. Likewise it was in the 1970s when there was an acceptance that production lines of robots could build cars better and more efficiently than human equivalents. Today, Artificial Intelligence, robots and Virtual Reality are all increasingly impacting upon all walks of life. Virtual Reality alone has the potential to provide access to tuition to some of the 263 million children worldwide who are not currently in education. Such technological advances are exciting and, with careful consideration and reflection, we continue to reassess how such advances can improve the quality of the education provided.

  • Vanderbilt-Thecarrols.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION “Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” Named after Lewis Carroll, one of Guildford’s most revered residents, The Carrolls is an exclusive development of just four townhouses and ten apartments. Boasting an unwavering attention to detail and a prime location, moments from Guildford’s picturesque town centre and railway station, The Carrolls is the embodiment of Vanderbilt Homes’ belief in putting exceptional quality at the heart of every home. OVERVIEW “You would have to be half mad to dream me up.” The fantastical world Lewis Carroll created was a masterful journey of the imagination. A much loved counter to the trials of everyday life. The Carrolls elegantly captures this feeling. Beautifully designed and attentively finished, each of the properties within the development represents a harmonious escape from the pressures of modern life. These are homes in the truest sense.
