  • Issue 48 - WINTER 2019 a MESSAGE from the HEAD
    Issue 48 - WINTER 2019 A MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD Interest in the Senior School continues to grow. This is refl ected in increased student numbers, of which one third are girls. This is a great endorsement of all the staff and indeed of the quality of the all-round education we offer. Although we are now larger than in previous years we pride ourselves on maintaining a friendly community where all students are known to staff. We can expect this growth to continue as over 350 potential candidates recently sat our 11+ and 13+ tests, looking to join the School in September. It has certainly been a busy start to the year in which, as well as the usual timetable, we have been able to fi t in a whole School photograph, something which takes place every four years, as well as a Biennial CCF Inspection. The House Music Competition continues to be one of the highlights of the Christmas Term. Involving every single pupil in the Senior School, it will be one of the fi rst memories that pupils form at Aldenham as they perform on stage in front of parents, staff and their peers. The excitement and enjoyment that this event generates is immense as they proudly bond with others in their House and across the School. Educational trips are a great way to improve knowledge and understanding of a subject. Recent trips undertaken by our students include a Drama visit to New York, History and Politics visit to Washington, the classicists’ time spent in Greece and a Geography expedition to Iceland.

  • Read the Latest 2019-2020 Edition Of
    Fullerian 2019-20 Editor’s Note When I became editor of the Fullerian, the then headmaster pointed to all the copies of the previous magazines held in his study and said they reflected the very life and ethos of the school, and were held for posterity. Each year, three copies of the magazine are placed in the library and have, on occasion, been taken out and used as historical references. But what was going to happen this year when school trips, visits and musical events were cancelled from early March and then, finally, the school buildings themselves were closed on March 20th to the majority of students? The annual music report is shorter this year, with spring, summer and chamber concerts cancelled; there are no cricket or Sports Day reports and the number of visits and trips are very few. However, school did carry on for students and teachers in a different form. Teachers had to become accustomed to unfamiliar (to some teachers and a fair few students) technology, and students had to develop skills in independent learning, very rapidly, in very unusual circumstances. But from all of this emerged some outstanding work, and a large section of this Fullerian has been given over to celebrating the resilience and determination our students have shown to work in a very different manner from usual. In addition, you’ll find some evidence of extracurricular activities continuing, albeit on a modified basis, and some of our students taking advantage of Lockdown to pursue their own personal interests. Thank you to all those students, members of staff and parents who have helped provide contributions for this issue.
