Two podium finishes for Gordon’s brother and sister Marley and Poppy O’Toole at the UK Wake Open. Marley, aged just 15, stepped up into the Open Men’s Category, competing against some of the best wakeboarders in the country (including the reigning 2024 and 2025 National Champion). His remarkable performance secured him first place and the overall title! Meanwhile Poppy, in her first ever wakeboarding event, achieved an impressive third place! Congratulations to them both!

Over 40 students trekking the Jurassic Coast over the weekend for the final expedition for the Silver Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Plenty of sun lotion and water as the mercury rose! The group spent two nights and three days on the expedition and are required to carry food, water and camping equipment as they navigate their way. 

Quiet contemplation and games at Loseley Park for recently confirmed students and those attending the school Chaplain's weekly Alpha group. The group toured the grounds and prayed, played games, engaged in Bible studies and enjoyed an al fresco lunch and Holy Communion in the Chapel. Later that day, visiting speaker, Jonathan Akande a former President of the Oxford University Christian Union spoke to the students on the subject ‘what is the relevance of Christianity today?’

Delighted to have won the Education Choices Magazine Award 2026 for Bursary Support. Gordon’s was among an illustrious line up of finalist schools for the award, including Dulwich College, James Allen’s Girls’ School and Milton Abbey. The judges, Dr Joseph Spence, CEO of the School Partnership Alliance and Dr Sandie Okoro OBE, the first female Chancellor of the University of Bimingham, in making the award, concluded: 'As a state boarding school, Gordon's has built a bursary system through its Foundation that ensures no child is excluded on financial grounds - currently supporting around 60 pupils, funded through donations from organisations including the Worshipful Company of Girdlers and Buttle UK. Each Foundation Award is a genuine three-way collaboration between school, family and child, with funding organisations meeting recipients annually. Staff fundraise from their own salaries and give up half terms to raise money - speaking to a culture where bursary support is a whole-community commitment, not a departmental function'. 

Interesting debate and conversation for Sixth Form Academic Scholars who took part in the Epsom College’s annual Symposium. Among the topics researched and presented were political systems failing to uphold their founding ideas; is law moral or a tool for social control; genetics or environment for behaviour; mining the moon and more!
