We are particularly pleased to announce that Stephanie Schöhl scored the perfect 45 (out of 45), a truly brilliant achievement. Cindy Cheng and Anna Wagner each achieved 44 points and no fewer than 16 candidates attained 40 points or more. Our average point score is 35.3. Well done to our IB cohort; it has been a splendid year of all-round achievement.

After a Chapel Service led by the College Chaplain, Rev. Andrew Law, OMs and their guests were entertained to drinks and lunch in the Gryphon Room. In the afternoon, OMs were able to visit their old House, where the Housemaster, Jamie Russell, displayed over 100 years of House memorabilia. There were also optional tours and talks and plenty of cricket, where the 1st XI beat local rivals Dean Close by 9 wickets. We hope that OMs of No.2 will have had their appetites whetted for their Reunion on ....

The next gathering at the Citie of York pub will be on Monday 4th October. News of who is attending from Common Room will be posted on the website in early September.

On arrival we were met, with great enthusiasm, by Nick Barker the Chemistry department’s Outreach Programme teaching fellow. He had organised a ‘tutor’ (either post-graduate or postdoctoral researcher) to work closely with groups of four pupils. The task that the pupils were set was the synthesis and subsequent re-crystallisation of Aspirin. The pupils ....

I want to keep you informed, as I am sure that many of you will want to know what has happened and what is going to happen in the next few months. The fire started in the early hours of Saturday 10th April. The House was empty at the time as the Housemistress, Mrs Nichola Cage, and her family were away from Malvern. The cause of the fire will never be known but the Private Side was ....

The Malvern Experience is a residential programme of one-week cultural courses designed for non-specialists. Course staff, who are experienced university tutors (many from Oxford University) lecture in literary topics such as Shakespeare, CS Lewis, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Barrett-Browning and creative writing techniques. The Course Director is Malvern’s Head of English, Dominic Oliver. Participants do not need any formal qualifications to take part, just an interest in the chosen topics and a desire to meet likeminded people. Classes meet in small, ....

On Friday 19th March her initiative bore fruit with an address by Martin Normanton at the Climate Change conference which took place at the school. Well-supported by the Green Committee and Mrs Lorraine Atkins the conference was a success and some recommendations emerged which could passed on by those present to their communities world-wide.

About 50,000 of those took part in the Intermediate Maths Challenge this month. Lennart Kück came in the top 500 and will progress to the next round! This places him in the top 1% of all Maths Challenge participants and the top 0.05% of all 15 year olds; it is a result which is 70 times rarer than an A* at GCSE. Fri, 19 Mar 2010 10:08:00 +0000
