Weekends at Teddies Autumn Term 2023

WARDEN’S INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Autumn Term at St Edward’s. The start of the new academic year is an exciting time for all of us at Teddies, and especially for those new to the School this term. September is a time of opportunities and ambitions. It is also a time for making plans, and that is the purpose of this brochure about weekends at Teddies over the next three months. Friendship comes from shared experience, and the weekend programme plays an important part in that

process. There are outdoor activities in which to engage; there are concerts and cultural events to enjoy; there are opportunities to expand intellectual horizons; most importantly, there are many different ways in which to have fun and to make memories which will stay with you forever. The weekend programme is intended for families too, and I hope that it will bring parents and others to Oxford and into the School. It is for that reason that we have included a section on events and places of interest outside the School. I hope that you will all, parents and pupils, enjoy reading these pages and making plans for the new term, and that the programme which we have put together will allow you to pursue your passions, to find new interests, and to make wonderful memories. As always, we welcome your feedback. If there are ways in which you think we can expand the programme or events outside the School which you think we should include in the future, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Alastair Chirnside Notes on the Weekend Programme House Compline Services take place in Chapel on most Sunday evenings from 9.10-9.40pm.
