Michaelmas Term
Racial Justice Sunday O Lord, we consider your wonderful world and its beautiful people created in your image. We thank you for the splendour of its diversity and the fact that our country is now a microcosm of the world with people from all places, with different faces, sharing the same spaces. By your Spirit, inspire us to work for a time when all your people will be able to take advantage of the world you created.

Plain Sailing for Hannah!
We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
Hannah Bristow in Year 10 joined the RS Feva Sailing World Championships in Grossetto, Italy this summer. We are delighted to announce that Hannah and her crew won! They are now the RS Feva World champions! The RS Feva is a 2 person sailing dinghy that is one of the Royal Yachting Association selected boats that target sailing development leading to Olympic level racing. The RS Feva is the junior small boat (Skiff) that the RYA use for juniors up to the year they turn 15. Well done Hannah - your College is proud of you!
