REMEMBERING JUDGE MALCOM WARD

An annual piano competition has been created in honour of the late Judge Malcolm Ward (OW 1949, longserving Chair of Governors and ardent WGS supporter). In the Spring term, finalists were selected from recordings submitted by Senior School students; these talented young musicians played to a panel of judges after which a Junior Cup was awarded to Alby Rescigno and a Senior Cup to Lucy Munson.

Malcolm generously bequeathed a Bosendorfer baby grand piano to the School. Simon, one of Malcolm’s sons said: "I think the idea of holding a piano competition in Dad’s name is a super idea. He was always very competitive in everything he did - and I am sure he would approve!"

Our WGS community extends well beyond the classroom to Old Wulfrunians, former staff, current and former parents and friends.

The Development Office aims to:

• Bring people together, both in School and further afield. From careers events to reunions, art exhibitions to sports festivals and much more.

• Facilitate ongoing networks of support, for current students, Old Wulfrunians, parents and friends alike, at School, through university, into the world of work and beyond.

• Encourage a culture of giving, continuing the philanthropic traditions of the past to benefit future generations.

If you have an idea for a future event (in School, elsewhere or virtually), would like to help in some way, or just want a chat, please do get in touch; we would be delighted to hear from you.
