Commemoration and Prize Day 2021

Commemoration and Prize Day Saturday 3rd July 2021

Welcome A very warm welcome to all members of the Marlburian community to our Commemoration and Prize Day 2021. I apologise that we cannot gather in person today but, nevertheless, we will take this opportunity to celebrate the successes of the past year, as is this great College’s tradition, to reflect upon what has passed in our school and far beyond and to celebrate the exceptional community that is Marlborough.

I congratulate all Prize Winners whose names appear in this programme and I also thank and congratulate those who weren’t awarded prizes but who, regardless, made an invaluable contribution this year. I am confident that each and every pupil will have, in their own way, played their part in support of this unique community.

The agility, determination and resilience with which each one of you has faced this global pandemic has been inspiring and it has been humbling.

COVID-19 has not dampened Marlborough’s ambition and drive; it may yet be argued that it has done the opposite. We have all learnt from these times and we have had our limits tested but, as the smiles confirmed when we came together on site towards the end of a Lent Term of lockdown, this will be a stronger community for the challenges that we have faced and we will certainly appreciate what is important in life, if we couldn’t before.

I hope that parents will feel immensely proud of their sons and daughters for all that they have achieved and I owe everyone joining us today a great debt of gratitude for your unstinting support.

Louise Moelwyn-Hughes Master

The Prizes Prize winners in every year deserve the recognition that the awards confer; they recognise excellence, ambition, curiosity as they always do. This year, perhaps more than any other, the prizes are a reward for the outstanding work done by so many in the most challenging of circumstances. Many of the winners have achieved so much in the face of disruption to their normal patterns of learning and considerable uncertainty, especially for those pupils in exam years.

Each of these prize winners has had to shift their working patterns, to come to terms with new ways of learning and through it all remain focused on their rightfully high academic ambition. It gives me great pleasure therefore to announce these prizes, and to celebrate the determination, intellectual endeavour and success they represent.
