Private School News

Wycliffe has become the only independent school in the UK to win the prestigious NACE Challenge Award across every one of the six stages of education – from pre-school right through to A level. NACE is the National Association for Able Children in Education. The Challenge Award was formally presented by NACE at a spectacular Award Ceremony which showcased the talents of Wycliffe students.

We were delighted to be joined by John Humphrys from the BBC, who hosted a special Junior Mastermind competition for the pupils. He then went under the spotlight himself as the Head of the College, Margie Burnet Ward turned the tables on him and asked him some searching questions that he might have been happy to have asked as one of the UK’s most respected journalists.

The evening rounded off with a book signing by John Humphrys, with all monies taken going to his Kitchen Table Charities Trust. The Trust raises money to make grants to tiny charities in the world’s poorest countries which are struggling to provide basic food and education in some of the most needy and most deserving areas of the world.
