This week, the Warwick Quartet, Anime Trio, Senior Cellos and eSQuires visited Abingdon School for the Pro Corda Chamber Music Festival.

To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis.

Many congratulations to OW Fin Smith who was selected in Steve Borthwick's (England Rugby Coach) first England 6 Nations Rugby squad. Fin has been selected at fly half alongside Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell in the squad.

Old Warwickian Fin Smith's sporting career is going from strength to strength, having joined Northampton Saints in October 2022. Fin plays fly half, which is one of the most important positions on the pitch.

Now, his journey has been reported by Leeds Now from another OW, Ted Bromwich.

Our Director of Rugby, Mr Pierce, said; “I’m incredibly proud [of Fin], it’s the reason you go into coaching. I’m more proud of the person he has become and hopefully, he goes on to the next level of international rugby”.

Over the last few weeks the Year 12 and 13 boys involved in the school’s Performance Support Pathway have had the exciting opportunity to work with Gazing Performance, helping them to develop their mental skills so that they can perform at their best when they need it most.

On Thursday, 17 November, teams of Warwick School senior debaters participated in the first rounds of the English Speaking Union MACE Competition and the English Speaking Union Churchill Public Speaking Competition. As the fixtures were held online, the top floor of Thornton Building was a hub of activity with our three well-prepared teams competing in their different fixtures.
