The Annual Honours Evening
was held on Thursday, 21
October 2011 in celebration
of the achievements of our
pupils and in acknowledgement
of their contribution to
the success of the College.
The address of the Headmaster,
Mr Clarke, was an honest
and transparent review of
the school.
What we really enjoyed
was Mr Clarke walking through
the campus with a camera
and his informal interviews
with our pupils (à
la “Blair Witch Project”).
He asked our pupils questions
about the Uplands values,
about acceptance and about
the environment. It was
so refreshing to get an
honest account of what the
pupils think and say about
these topics. It was insightful
and very encouraging to
know that we are doing a
fantastic job
