I must also thank Tim Scarff, Stowe’s Marketing and Old Stoic Director, whose advice in terms of design and publication has been invaluable. The real heroine of the piece, however, has been Angela Bartlett at MCC Design: it is her creativity and eye for detail, employed over countless hours, which have given this magazine such a professional and polished finish.

Another parent is providing equipment to help us convert the old squash courts into a Social Centre, to open later this year.

  • Changes in Entertainment and Leisure in Britain C500 to the Present Day
    Changes in Entertainment and Leisure in Britain c500 to the present day DEVELOPMENT OF SPORT What have been the main developments in sport over time? SPORTS FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE IN THE MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN ERAS Life for ordinary people in the medieval period was routine and monotonous and revolved around an agrarian calendar. People had to work hard from dawn until dusk just to survive. However when they were able to rest from their labours, there were many festivals and opportunities to enjoy sports and pastimes that came to reflect a rich medieval peasant folk culture. In the Viking and Saxon eras, many social gatherings such as cattle markets and weddings offered an excuse for competitive games and contests. There would be an opportunity to bet on the outcome of the contest and revelry and drunkenness added to the occasion. Commoners enjoyed sports such as throwing balls, horseshoes and hammers, shinty (an early form of hockey) and folk-football. Football was an unbounded, unregulated game that pitted bachelors against the married men of a village or sometimes one village against another. Scoring was a problem because there were sometimes no goal posts or even a ball and the main aim seemed to be to inflict pain and injury on the opponents. This violent sport, though banned by Henry VIII, survived in Britain until the late 19th century. Running and jumping contests were very popular and women were allowed to compete in ‘smock races’ where the garment was the prize. Warriors honed their fighting skills by holding competitions using swords, spears and bows and arrows.

  • Section Assemblies Performing Arts
    Thursday 29 March 2018 Welcome to our Easter Newsletter. It has been another busy term and no newsletter can adequately do justice to the whole range of different activities with which boys have been involved – but we hope that you will be given a flavour of some of the events that have occurred since January. You can read here about Year 5 trips to the National History Museum and the Science Department at Abingdon School, the artistic and musical endeavours of pupils in Year 6, and about events that have involved pupils across the Section, such as the recent ‘Business Challenge’ and House Cross Country race. Many of the accounts are told by pupils themselves. At the end you will find a list of key dates for the first half-term of the Summer Term, which we hope proves to be useful. The Middle Section team hope that you will have a relaxing and peaceful Easter. Section Assemblies Pupils have attended two Section assemblies this term. In the first on 23 January, led by Stefan, pupils were informed about healthy eating and how eating a nutritious, balanced diet is important in helping them to grow and develop, and how it helps them to be energised and motivated, thus supporting their ability to learn. On Tuesday 6 March we had the benefit of a visit from Dr Pratap, mother of Ollie in Year 5 and Alex in Year 6, who talked about her work as a doctor at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
