As you can see, our pupils have been busy inside and outside the classroom. This week's feature image showcases the conservation work of our pupils at Bruce Loch Nature Reserve - an important Thursday afternoon activity.

We also caught up with year 13 A Level pupils doing a stellar job in biology explaining Calvin's experimental evidence for the light independent stage of photosynthesis. Lastly we were absolutely to see our Old Sedberghians (recent graduates) when we played them in fixtures last week! Isabel and Frankie are now studying at Durham University. 

We were absolutely delighted to host Prof Irene Tracey for a thought provoking talk on the "Importance of Universities " last Friday evening and we invite you to book to attend when we host Queen Naa Tsotsoo Soyoo on October 4th. Registration is free but space is limited so please register early.   

The return of fixture sees the return of our popular Sports Report and you can stay up-to-date with performances in the Arts Report. 

Oli’s Step Towards an Engineering Career

SED Talk: During the Summer holidays Oli in Year 13, did an engineering work experience placement at BAE Systems. He shares his reflections and advice for other pupils thinking about seeking a work experience placement. 

While his overall goal of pursuing a career in the field remains unchanged, the placement helped Oli refine his focus. Initially unsure of which area of engineering to pursue, Oli discovered a passion for manufacturing and fabrication processes over design. This newfound clarity has provided him with valuable direction as he moves forward in his studies and career aspirations.

Michael Raw "Tis the Hills That Have Stood Around Us: A History of Sedbergh School"

This incredible new history of Sedbergh School serves as a lasting legacy of the School for current pupils and Old Sedberghians alike. 

The book, which marks the 500^th anniversary of Sedbergh School, was meticulously researched and written by the late Michael Raw. It draws together the stories behind the many school traditions that have framed Sedbergh’s ethos over five centuries. The narrative follows the highs and lows of pupils and staff from its earliest foundation by Roger Lupton right up to the present day.
