Mr Kinder encouraged pupils to enter this year’s Hugh Lock Peace Medal challenge during Chapel assemblies after the School’s Remembrance service. Students had a week to produce a creative piece – prose, poetry, art, music, drama or a film – on the theme ‘Make Peace Indestructible’. Hugh Lock OG, was seriously wounded during WWII and gifted two peace medals to be awarded to students in 2005.

There were forty-three entries in this year’s competition from Years 9, 10, 12 and 13 in a variety of formats.

Congratulations to Josh B, Joe O and Daisy P whose short-filmed drama piece wins the Senior competition and Kitty R whose poem ‘The Day That Peace Sang’ wins the Junior award. Thank you to everyone who entered. Highly commended were: Lizzie P-R (prose), Miranda H-S, Eliza A (poetry) and Jasmin L (art).
