ROBERTS, S.R.N., S.C.M. EDITORIAL After the mild but wet winter, and a cold, wet and long-drawn-out spring, we have had some of the best weather anyone (except examination candidates) could hope for for the second half of the summer term. The holiday atmosphere brought out in some quarters the gaudiest of shirts, tightest of jeans, kinkiest of boots, and—despite the heat—longest and shaggiest of hairstyles ever seen. The only thing we were short of was the mini-trouser. We are sorry to be saying "goodbye" to four masters—referred to in detail in the Head- master's Report—but welcome in their places Mr. Griffiths (German) to School House, Mr. Davies (Classics) and Mr. Isaacs (General Subjects) to Junior House. Mrs. Michelle quickly established herself as the Catering Officer, and our thanks are due to her for the excellent meals she has provided over the last year. We have been deeply anxious about Lady Gavin, who has been in hospital for some weeks after a serious operation. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to her and Sir William. It is good to hear at the time of going to press of material improvement in Lady Gavin's condition. FOUNDER'S AND SPEECH DAYS It was decided this year to try the experiment of dividing the Founder's Day celebrations .we have known for many years into two. One reason for this was the very large financial saving thus made possible. On May 25th we had an "Open Day," to which parents brought their own lunches, there were no formalities beyond a brief commemoration of the Founder outside the Gavin Hall, and the afternoon was taken up by visits to the various exhibitions. These were staged by the Arts, Handicrafts and Science Departments, and there was also a most impressive display of cooking (with free samples!) by the Scouts. A buffet tea was served in each Boarding House for its own boys and their parents and friends. What would have been the old-style Founder's Day took place on July llth, in the form of the Prize-Giving in the Gavin Hall. To this were invited only connections of the prize- winners, some 40 or 50 of whom were able to come. Opinions are still undecided on the change. Certainly the Open Day was not helped by the weather; though it did not actually rain, it was decidedly threatening, dark and cold, and few cared to linger in the open air to listen to the valiant bandsmen performing on the lawn outside the Gavin Hall. Many at the start voiced the opinion that a great deal of the sense of occasion had been lost, but as the day wore on, and visitors realised that in their smaller numbers they were able to see what was on display far more easily, and to talk to more of the Staff, they began to think more of the arrangement. By tea-time, a much more intimate affair in the Houses than in the vast marquee of old, probably the majority were expressing their satisfaction. Against this is the fact that many Old Boys are disappointed of their traditional visit to the School for the big ceremony of the year, at the end of the summer term. There is also the consideration that after their examinations many Upper Sixth Formers feel there is nothing worth waiting for until the end of term if they have no prizes to collect—and also that far more time for the work for the various exhibitions is available during those last two or three weeks of term than immediately before the G.C.E. examinations. It is not easy to reach a final verdict—and in any case that is not our business. PrizejGiving Day was the hottest anybody could remember. We are more than usually grateful to our Visitor for making what must have been a great physical effort to come to us, after a severe illness and operation from which he was still convalescing. The son of the former Poet Laureate. Lord Bridges himself has had an exceptionally distinguished career. Privy Councillor, Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, Knight Grand Cross of the Victorian Order, holder of the Military Cross, Fellow of the Royal Society, Fellow of All Souls, Fellow of Eton College, Honorary Doctor of seven universities, he was Secretary to the Cabinet during the years of World War II, and Secretary to the Treasury (i.e. Head of the Civil Service) from 1946-1956. Since his retirement he has held a number of voluntary offices, among them the Chairmanship of the British Council, and the Chancellorship of Reading University. In the course of his address Lord Bridges recalled his love of "the chalk country." One of the ways in which he had struggled to find his own independence, free of the shadow of a famous father, was in his resistance to the paternal urgings towards poetry, art and music. These interests had come to him later. But he had found passionate absorption in the countryside, and in architecture—though he had then visited only two or three of them— he could have recognised in his teens any cathedral in England from its ground plan. There was an ever-increasing need to evaluate sensibly our surroundings. In a rapidly changing world the lessons of the past cannot lightly be ignored; the virtues of industry and self-discipline have even more relevance to the modern world. We should throw ourselves whole-heartedly into our work, however humdrum or irrelevant it might seem. We should cultivate as many outside interests as possible, but above all in the field of personal relation- ships, which more than anything else helped us to grow. Mr. Prideaux, Chairman of the Governing Trustees, presided, and the Vote of Thanks was proposed by Mr. Stopford. Prizes were presented by Mrs. Prideaux, and all those officiat- ing were thanked by the School Captain, Richard Walker. Lord and.Lady Wigram were also present.

OLD MEN REMEMBER The Sower for December, 1943, carried the somewhat laconic announcement: The year 1943 has seen an event of great importance in the history of the School, with the retirement of Lieut.-Colonel W. B. Little, who has been Principal since 1930, and the appoint- ment of a new Head at Long Sutton, in the person of Mr. Alexander Henderson, M.A. The Trustees decided to dispense with the title of Principal in favour of that of Head- master. Our new Headmaster took up his duties at Long Sutton on 1st July. One month short of 24 years later Mr. Henderson announced to the Staff his intention to retire as early in 1967 as the Governing Trustees could provide for a successor.

  • March 2016 Dear Parents and Guardians, I Am Always Impressed
    The Schools Mark Turner, M.A. Shrewsbury Headmaster SY3 7BA Telephone: 01743 280525 Facsimile: 01743 340048 E-mail: [email protected] March 2016 Dear Parents and Guardians, I am always impressed at the speed of transformation of the school site, once our pupils leave at the end of term. It is a wonder to behold how a busy and hectic campus can become a quiet oasis within a matter of a few hours. This term, as our boys and girls have embarked on journeys to the far flung corners of the globe, we have quickly changed role to become hosts of the National Eton Fives Championships. Teams from across the country, together with international competitors from Switzerland and Malaysia, have been battling it out for national titles. Amongst them is a strong group of Salopians, who we anticipate will make it through to the final stages of the competition. Although the competition is very much ‘live’ as I write, I can congratulate Lizzie Ware and Sophia Breese on winning the U15 girls’ national title. We hope for more good news from the boys. In my end of term assembly, I spoke to the School about the philosophy of Kurt Hahn, one of the leading 20th century educationalists. Earlier in the term, I had the opportunity to spend a few days inspecting Gordonstoun School in Moray. As some of you will know, Gordonstoun was set up in 1934, by Kurt Hahn, on the model of Schule Schloss Salem, which had been founded several decades before, in Germany. As national socialism came to prominence with the rise of the Nazi Party, Kurt Hahn found that the ideals of his beloved school were not shared by the political agenda setters.

O.E. MEMBERSHIP The Old Edwardians' Association exists primarily to maintain touch between the School and Old Boys and contacts between Old Boys of different periods. This purpose is served mainly through Honorary Membership, which carries with it the right to wear Old Edwardians' colours and to receive twice a year the Old Edwardians' Gazette, with news of the School and of Old Edwardians. The Association exists in the second place—a function whose importance has increased now the School is no longer in New Street— to provide a centre for Old Edwardians. The aim of the Association is that Old Boys living in Birmingham or passing through Birmingham may be able to meet friends in the Club Rooms—which provide all the amenities of the Ordinary Social Club. To attain this end there must be a large Membership, apart from Honorary Membership, a membership of Old Boys using the Club Rooms. To secure this, the cost of full membership is carefully graduated. The following is a list of the grades of Membership with the subscriptions : CLASSES OF MEMBERSHIP For Members residing within 25 miles of the Club Building £3 3 0 But until the expiration of three years from the date of leaving School 1 1 0 and then for the next 7 years 2 2 0 Country Members 0 10 6 Members at a Residential University 0 10 6 Honorary Members 0 5 0 NOTE.—These amounts are reduced by half to Members joining after 1st July in any year, except in the case of Honorary Members, whose subscriptions are payable in full at any time.

  • Old Caldicotian News: April 2014
    Old Caldicotian News: April 2014 FROM THE HEADMASTER Dear Old Caldicotian, This edition contains much happy news, but the immediate past has been distressing for all of us. The testimony given in court at the sex abuse trials of ex teachers has been harrowing. As I am sure you are all aware, Peter Wright was convicted of sex offences committed between 1959 and 1970 and three other teachers, Martin Carson, Hugh Henry and John Addrison have been convicted on similar charges relating to offences committed in the 1960s and 1970s. It is a painful reminder that although so many of you have very happy memories of your time at Caldicott, this is certainly not true for everyone. On behalf of the school, I would like to offer sincere apologies to anyone who suffered at the hands of teachers at Caldicott. That the abuse was committed between thirty-five and fifty years ago does not lessen the pain. We are truly sorry and although we cannot erase what happened in the past, we do work tirelessly to make present day Caldicott the safest environment possible. These convictions were the culmination of a lengthy police investigation, in which the school has played an active supporting role. The school issued the following statement at the time: “This verdict brings to a close a lengthy police investigation and subsequent prosecutions of some staff members for abuse committed at the school during the 1960’s and 1970’s. The school cooperated fully with the police during their enquiries and we want to thank them for their thorough investigations.
