George Mallory: a British Hero
At Senior House Assembly on Friday 27th September, Academic-in-Residence Richard McMillan gave a talk on George Mallory and the first attempt to ascend Everest, which occurred 100 years ago. Mallory’s love of climbing manifested itself from an early age and it was not long before he was making regular visits to the Alps. He soon…
Notes from the Head – 13 September
Quid est Veritas In my assembly address to the senior house last week I took as my inspiration one of the most profound questions ever posed: what is truth? Pontius Pilate’s query to the Christ is as relevant today as it was in the first century, perhaps even more so. I think it interesting that Pilate never…
The History of Athletics – In Conversation with Mark Ryan
At our Senior House Assembly on Friday 13th September, we welcomed Mark Ryan. Mark is a distinguished writer on the history of athletics. In 2012, to coincide with the London Olympics, he brought out a biography of the British sprinter and Olympic gold medallist Harold Abrahams. He brought out a revised version of this book…

The Headmaster’s Back to School Assembly
Assembly address – Friday 6 September 2024 One of the most thought-provoking questions ever asked comes from the Gospel of St John when Pontius Pilate, interrogating Jesus just before sentencing him to death, asks What is truth? .

Notes from the Head – 7 June 2024
Today the school marked the Feast of the Sacred Heart with a number of boys making their First Holy Communion. Monsignor Phelim was the celebrant at Mass and his homily touched on the spiritual significance of receiving Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. I think it is true that everyone who has done so remembers their…
Notes from the Head – 24 May 2024
The publication of the Diocesan Inspection Report earlier this week underscored once again just how far the school has come over the last few years in terms of raising academic standards. The inspectors noted a sense of ‘awe and wonder’ as being clearly evident amongst children in the Early Years and were bowled over, in…
