Celebrating 500 years!
After a well-earned break, we’ve returned to school with energy, ambition, and tradition at the heart of the week.
Our annual Pathways Fair on the last day before half-term provided an invaluable opportunity for Year 11 and 12 pupils to explore their futures, engaging with over 30 exhibitors and discovering the exciting possibilities that await beyond Sedbergh (header image).
Excellence was also recognised at our Commendation Lunch, where Year 9, 10, and 11 pupils were celebrated for their outstanding achievements and effort throughout the Lent Term (image below).
On the track, Year 11 pupil Hugo made us proud by securing a brilliant bronze at the @englandathletics Age Group Indoor Championships, running an impressive 1500m in 4:01.49—just over a second off his personal best.
We are also delighted to share that four Sedberghians have been selected for England teams: Lower Sixth pupil Anniehas been named in the @englandnetball U17 squad, while Archie, Will, and Fergus have been selected for the @englandrugby U18 squad (images below).
Meanwhile, tradition was alive and well as we held the first Wilson Run qualifier on Wednesday. A cornerstone of Sedbergh’s history since 1881, the Wilson Run remains one of the School’s most revered sporting challenges.

A History of Sedbergh in 50 Objects: #7 School House
When Headmaster Frederick Heppenstall arrived at Sedbergh in 1874 he found the Headmaster’s House, now Evans House, was not fit for habitation. Having instructed repairs and refurbishment to the building, with the support of the School's new Governing body, he set about funding new boarding houses and ambitious new teaching spaces.
