Welcome It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Prize Day to celebrate with my colleagues, pupils and their families the outstanding achievements of Marlburians during the course of the academic year 2021-22.

congratulate all Prize Winners whose names appear in this programme. Beyond this, every single pupil has, in their own way, made a welcome difference and has helped to ensure that this great school continues to forge ahead with ambition, determination and agility. The increased focus of our pupils on outreach and philanthropy, and the significant impact that is being made in these areas, has been striking since we last met for Prize Day in 2019; and it speaks of a community that is generous, socially minded and which has an appetite for positive change. That we have emerged from the challenging times of COVID-19 in such good heart is testament to the incredible loyalty, belief and resilience of every member of this community for which I am profoundly grateful. We now look to happier times and to making the most of all the opportunities that a genuinely 7 day a week boarding school has to offer. I hope that Marlburian families thoroughly enjoy their day with us and I wish our wonderful outgoing Upper Sixth every possible happiness and success for the future.

Louise Moelwyn-Hughes Master

Rare Books: An A to Z M

arlborough’s Rare Books collection is comprised of many works older than the school itself, the earliest a manuscript from the late fifteenth century. Consisting of almost 3,000 volumes, acquired through donations, behests and legacies, the remarkable collection of books sits at our intellectual heart. These beautiful and significant artefacts in many ways tell the cultural story of the College and we have created a new digital publication to share them more widely. Whilst academically rigorous, the publication is especially visual and entertaining, putting the books in their cultural context. It can be downloaded via the QR code found here and as part of the display on Polloi. 5

The Prizes Prize winners in every year deserve the recognition that the awards confer; they recognise excellence, ambition, curiosity as they always do. This year, perhaps more than any other, the prizes are a reward for the outstanding work done by so many in the most challenging of circumstances. Many of the winners have achieved so much in the face of disruption to their normal patterns of learning and considerable uncertainty, especially for those pupils in exam years. Each of these prize winners has had to shift their working patterns, to come to terms with new ways of learning and through it all remain focused on their rightfully high academic ambition. It gives me great pleasure therefore to announce these prizes, and to celebrate the determination, intellectual endeavour and success they represent.
