The Parade along the iconic central London venue to General Gordon’s statue on the Thames marks the start of Memorial Weekend and will involve around 250 students in Years 9 and 11 as well as the members of the Pipes and Drums.

Welcome back to all our Day and Residential Boarders. While the students can look forward to a packed programme of events this term, so can parents! As well as productions and events featuring our talented students such as ‘Dr Faustus’ and an informal concert, there are Insight Talks and a chance to see award winning comedy of Dinesh Nathan; Ben Norris; Max Fulham; and Matt Brown. For further information, visit the Box Office or click here. An overview is also available from our Sports and Arts Calendar of Events available from the Houses and Reception.
