We are also now coming to the end of our 450th Anniversary Year and in this issue, we start with our YouTube section as we share a special update from the Principal. Read on thereafter for lots of exciting College news and the introduction of a brand new photo series on Instagram.

Sunday 28 November
For know, my love,
as easy mayest thou fall
A drop of water
in the breaking gulf,
And take unmingled
that same drop again,
Without addition or diminishing,
As take from me
thyself and not me too. 💧
From William Shakespeare, ‘The Comedy of Errors’, act 2, scene 2
