Top awards for the Top Year boys

Congratulations to Ethan who has received a Music Exhibition to Eton College.

Since being at the School, this talented Year 8 musician has entertained us in numerous concerts and recitals playing either the violin or piano.

We know he will be a great asset to the Music Department at Eton and look forward to seeing him on stage there.

Well done to Henry who has been awarded a Sports (Swimming) Scholarship to Harrow School.

The award is very well deserved for Henry who has been a leading light in the pool and on the rugby pitch at Ludgrove. His sporting prowess was matched by his leadership skills in helping the younger members of the Swim Squad.

We are delighted to announce that Ivan has been awarded a Music Exhibition to Winchester College.

Having watched Ivan’s talents grow over his years at Ludgrove, the School is thrilled his potential has been recognised.

We look forward to seeing how this violinist flourishes at a school with such an outstanding musical reputation.

This term’s Award holders (above) join William and Arjan from last term. This brings the total to seven Award recipients so far this year, a record equal to that achieved in 2009!

George achieves a musical first for Ludgrove

The boys gave George a huge cheer when it was announced he had passed his violin ARSM (Associate of the Royal Schools of Music) Diploma with Distinction. This is the first time a boy has reached this level at Ludgrove and he is only in the IIs (Year 7)! George also has his Grade 8 in piano so maybe that Diploma is next on his hit list of achievements. Well done.

The whole School celebrated the “joy when hard work brings success” when it was announced Matthew had won an Academic Scholarship to Oundle School.

Not only is he gifted academically, he also enjoys life on the rugby pitch and is a part of the String Ensemble. There is no doubt he will be a stellar pupil at Oundle both inside and outside the classroom

We are proud to announce that William has been awarded a Design Technology Exhibition to Bryanston School.

Our Head Carpenter has worked hard to hone his skills, spending many hours in the workshop and producing some outstanding pieces for his portfolio.

We’re sure his creative skills will continue to develop at Bryanston.

Fives players celebrate double success

Congratulations to Bear and Alex (top left) on becoming the U12 National Fives champions beating Sunningdale in a hard fought final.

The U13s team also enjoyed success in the Prep School Fives competition at Harrow when Arjan and William (top right) won the Jeremy Marston Salver. Well done to all the teams.
