Pudding Lectures

This term saw the beginning of a new club for Sixth Form students to develop their skills of oration, presentation and intellectual dexterity. The Pudding Lectures, so called because students (and staff) eat cake whilst watching a lecture, have been on topics as broad as the role of F1 in medicine and whether murder can ever be moral. Sixth Form students volunteered to undertake the lectures before taking questions from the audience of staff and students. The subject matters have been fascinating and well researched giving the opportunity for both the audience and the lecturer alike to learn about something completely new! Students are welcome to attend on Fridays at 1.30pm in the Sixth Form Seminar Room: come along, watch a lecture, ask some questions, eat some cake - what’s not to like?!

Senior School productions are back!

Mr Tyler, Mr Wood and Mr Payne are delighted to announce that the Senior School production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' by William Shakespeare will be coming to the Hutton Theatre early next year.

Rehearsals have already started to take place after school this term and Mr Petford has begun thinking of new ideas to bring this well-anticipated performance to life.

Music Scholars, Award Holders and a Teatime Concert

Well done to all our Music Scholars and Award Holders who produced a wonderful virtual concert, alongside students from the Senior School and Sixth Form who performed as part of the teatime concert in November.

Summer Show

Miss Bowater and the Art Department were thrilled to showcase the incredible artwork produced by the Class of 2021 in September. Hosted on the same weekend as the Old Wulfrunians (OWs) Sports Festival, the belated 49th annual summer art exhibition returned to the Hutton Theatre.

In Lower Sixth, students all started their own projects with the title of Identity, each of them taking separate paths from there, such as mental health, sexuality, suffering and more. The exhibition was a chance for their final pieces to be shown to their families, visiting OWs and the public. "It was an occasion to say a massive thank you to our teachers for the support they gave us throughout these uncertain times, whether in person or virtually over Microsoft Teams. They have played a key role in helping us to develop our projects and artistic abilities."
