More rowing success...

At the beginning of half term a large contingent of rowers from the school and in particular from Orchard House went up to the National Schools Regatta. Despite a disappointing Friday when all competition was abandoned leaving our J14 crews without a race, the weekend produced several finalists for the College and two medal performances from Orchard’s Max Hearnden and James Girling in the 1^st VIII and Coxed Fours boats – a fantastic achievement.

Orchard appointments

Following the appointments of Charlie Hancock and Ruaridh Scott as school prefects for the next academic year, more of Orchard's senior members have been awarded positions of responsibility.  Congratulations go to Alex Collis who has been made a lower school prefect and Oscar Burgess, who will be taking on the role of chapel warden.  We wish each of these boys good luck in their respective roles and we are confident they will do the house proud!
