Dear Parents, ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS Dear Parents, ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES My apologies for not issuing this at the end of last term, but – as you will see – so much went on last term that drawing this summary together has taken longer than I anticipated! There follows a hugely impressive list of the boys’ academic achievements and other opportunities in the Spring Term. It’s certainly a very long summary, but that in itself is testimony to the vast array of talent that our boys have shown themselves recently, and the numerous chances they have had to benefit from the talents of others too. Do please continue to encourage your son, as we are doing, to take full advantage of similar opportunities in the future, if he is not already doing so! We are all looking forward to an equally impressive Summer Term! All best wishes Alastair Tighe Deputy Head (Academic) • Congratulations to the following boys for being awarded Commendations this term for work or conduct which exemplifies the school’s core values in an exceptional way. o Fourth Form – Ben Barden for an excellent presentation on a trip to Kerala;

Jaynil was one of just seven finalists selected from thousands of students and schools from around the country, and gave an excellent presentation titled, ‘Is That Art?’ The competition was judged by Tim Marlow, Director of the Royal Academy, and the students were lucky enough to hear Sir Anthony Gormley and Bill Woodrow who gave the opening addresses. • Renowned poet Brian Patten was guest of honour at the English Department’s Annual Prize Giving. The Poetry Prize was shared between Flik Feng and Ashwin Santosh Kumar. The Wellbelove Prize, which is open to pupils in the first three years of the Upper School and requires boys to write an essay about a work of literature not studied within the curriculum, went to Emmanuel Adeyemi for an essay about George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. The Fowles Prize was an extremely close affair, with four outstanding pieces of writing on the shortlist. Each of the boys who spoke about their work did so engagingly and elegantly. Angus Watson’s troubling short story ‘The Pact-Makers’ was awarded first prize. The evening concluded with a hugely entertaining reading by Brian Patten. • The tremendous artistic and creative talent of the boys was celebrated in this year’s Detweiler Competition, the theme for which was ‘Identity’. For the first time the competition was extended to encompass not only Art, Creative Writing and Music but also Drama. The Art competition was judged by antiques expert and ‘Flog It’ Star, David Fletcher (OB) and artist Peter Moore, a friend of Alan Detweiler.

The following were Highly Commended: Jack Jordan (Remove Form), Tomi Fashola (Fifth Form), Benson Chan (Fifth Form), Jack Murphy (Lower Sixth) and Dylan Cox (Upper Sixth).
