St Barnabas Day

Saturday 13th June was St Barnabas Day, the school’s traditional Speech Day. It was a wonderful occasion as we recognised the academic achievements of the boys. There are, historically several highlights of the year featured at the beginning and this year was no different. We heard from Andrew Thomas about representing the England U17 cricket team against Pakistan in Dubai and from Ishmael Levy about a particularly entertaining (and political) enrichment activity.

Second Monitor, Tom Compton then played his electric violin with breath-taking dexterity and we again heard from the String Quartet - what a wonderful musical medley! Prizes were presented by the Master of the Merchant Taylors’ Company, Peter Watkins, and the President of the OMT Society, Lord Stirrup. The Head Master’s speech focused on highlights of the year and also made mention of the way in which the physical space of Merchant Taylors’ is changing with the construction of the Design Centre and other internal and external changes.

It was wonderful to see the whole Merchant Taylors’ community of boys, OMTs, parents, staff and governors come together; Concordia Parvae Res Crescunt.
