The Herefordian 2014 T he Magazine of Hereford Cathedral School Page 2 The Herefordian | 2014 HCS Art Amy Magee The Herefordian | 2014 Page 3 Editorial Contents The greatest pleasure I derive from compiling the Headmaster’s Speech 5 school magazine is looking back on the previous Guest of Honour 7 academic year and being amazed by the number and Staff News 10 variety of events that have taken place as well as the Organist’s Report 12 many achievements of the pupils and staff. The school calendar, as vital as it is, merely contains a bland list of Music 15 termly dates; in the weekly staff Common Room Drama 18 meetings teachers simply announce that they are going School News 22 to run a trip or they report back briefly on an event. Trips 27 But, it is not until the full report and photographs are Sport 41 submitted to the Herefordian that we can all share in these marvelous experiences. CCF 68 OH News 74 There are so many highlights: Cantabile’s fantastic OH Travel 76 achievements, the superb art work from all year groups, Speech Day Prizes 79 overcoming the privations of Duke of Edinburgh U6 Leavers 80 4 expeditions, sporting achievements and the many trips. If I had to give a prize it would be to Mr Taylor for his 1 versification and the Movember Team for their 0 successful fundraising. Dr Rhodes’ Physics trip to Cover Artwork: 2 CERN, which looked out-of-this-world, comes a close Jason Li second with his unscientific use of ‘stair rods’ to l o describe the weather. o n h c a S Finally, I would like to express my personal thanks l i to Mrs Sue Connop for her considerable a r contribution to the Herefordian magazine over the d d years. Without fail, every year she has produced reports e h r covering a variety of sports: netball, equestrian events, t a athletics, Hull Cup and Sports Day. Her writing is an C o editor’s dream: lively and engaging and always d r peppered with smashed records and ‘PBs’. Her record f o keeping is exemplary: a past pupil’s name may appear in f e e her reports many years after they have left as a current r e r pupil breaks their previous record. When Mrs Connop H Hereford Cathedral School eventually retires from teaching she may wish to take Old Deanery f o The Cathedral Close e up a new career as a sports journalist!

Last Year, I do, in a consistent manner and their qUoted from the draft Version of the achieVements do not happen bY Good Schools Guide, and the final chance, bUt rather as the resUlt of Version has noW been pUblished highlY reflectiVe, carefUllY planned strategies.
