For the second time since last year, our students enjoyed another trip to Oxford University. This time, we had the immense privilege of having St Hilda’s College, Oxford, also our regional outreach college, host a group of twenty-two Year 12 students, comprising of mathematicians, historians, scientists, and geographers - most with overlapping interests; and three accompanying Glyn staff. The trip took place on the 22 May, with the whole experience leaving its participants extremely grateful.

Despite brilliant sunny weather, Glyn faced a tough day at the Surrey Schools Tennis Festival, losing all but one match against a field dominated by local private schools.

Year 10 Lord’s Cricket Trip Due to our recent success as a school in our Cricket programme (Year 10 winning the Surrey Cup, Year 8 being finalists in the Surrey Cup, and hosting multiple indoor tournaments throughout the year) we were nominated by Surrey Cricket to represent the county in a promotional event at Lord’s Cricket Ground! An amazing opportunity for the students to play at the “Home of Cricket” and the students did not disappoint and represented the school impeccably. We were then treated to a tour of Lord’s by our very own Mr Colombage, who works at Lord’s as a tour guide and made sure he was working so that he could look after us! We learnt a lot of fascinating things on the tour and had some excellent photo opportunities to remember the day. Thank you very much to the MCC Foundation for putting on the event, and I will post the official promotion for the new tournament as soon as it is made public! @_mccfoundation @lords_cricket_ground #year10 #schooltrip @glfschools @glfschoolsfoundation #cricket

Old Glynians Dinner - Friday 25 April The Old Glynians' dinner held in the Proctor Hall was a resounding success, bringing together Old Glynians' from various years (including a few recent leavers) to reconnect and reminisce. Over a delicious three-course meal, attendees shared stories of their time at the school and the paths they took after leaving Glyn, fostering a warm and nostalgic atmosphere. The evening was filled with laughter, as old friendships were rekindled and new connections formed, highlighting the enduring bond that ties our Old Glynian community together. Speeches were made by the President of the Association, Hugh Proctor, Mr Summers gave a report on the last school year, followed by Mr Howard who reported on the schools sporting successes and the House results (there was a huge roar when it was announced Tudor has won the Victor Ludorum, highlighting how important the House system is still to Old Glynians'). As the night drew to a close, guests were invited to contribute their own experiences and thoughts, encouraging a lively discussion there was even a song from a former student, and member of staff, Mr Currie! The overwhelming feedback from all suggests this event is a treasured tradition, celebrating not only our past but also the bright futures of our Old Glynian network. We look forward to seeing everyone at the next gathering! If you are an Old Glynian, and wish to join the Association, please find more information on our website: https://sites.google.com/glynschool.org/theoldglyniansassociation-toga?usp=sharing Membership is FREE for the first 20 years since you left the school. #oldglynonians #reuniondinner #alumni #epsom @glfschools @oldglynoniansrfc @glynoldboysfc

Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Practice Expedition Over the weekend, 139 Year 9 students from Glyn took part in their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award practice expedition — and their performance was nothing short of outstanding. Blessed with sunshine and blue skies, the students embraced the two-day challenge with energy, resilience, and teamwork. Setting off in the early morning, groups navigated their planned routes across the local countryside using maps and compasses, facing a variety of terrain with determination. A few teams encountered minor detours, but all quickly adapted, showing excellent problem-solving and communication. At the campsite, students pitched tents, prepared meals on portable stoves, and supported one another through their first night outdoors. The warm weather and shared spirit made for an enjoyable experience, with many forming new friendships and learning valuable life skills along the way. Staff and instructors were full of praise for the students. “They showed real maturity and independence,” said Learn Outdoors. “It was a pleasure to see them rise to the challenge.” This expedition marks a significant step in the students’ DofE journey. However, there is still the Qualifying expedition during the weekend of 17-18 May. Let’s just hope the weather is as forgiving. #dofe @dukeofedinburgh_award @glfschools @glfschoolsfoundation
