Rhubarb 2024

ARCHIVE DISPLAYS T his year we have been fortunate enough to have acquired an archival display cabinet that sits in Willows.The Archive Team has created some fascinating displays that have been enjoyed by pupils, parents and visitors.

FEATURE

We have enjoyed looking at how the Quad has evolved over the years.There have been new buildings and reshaping of the trees and vegetation but it has also been used as the site for air raid shelters in 1944, for the Jubilee celebrations in 2013 and most recently for the Celebration of Rowing event in September 2023 when we welcomed over 700 parents, pupils and OSE back to Teddies to celebrate the Princess Elizabeth Cup win at Henley earlier that year.
