Dr Frost has been successful in securing the funding for his new educational platform, via the SHINE trust, an education charity that gives children the opportunity to acquire the skills and confidence they need to turn their potential into success at school and beyond. Patrons of the charity include David Beckham, Sir Alex Ferguson and Nick Robinson. The 9 grants awarded annually attracted 74 applications so very well done to Dr Frost. Further details of the charity can be found at www.shinetrust.org.uk DRAMA During the final week of the Summer term, a small group of student actors led a production of Laura Wade’s Posh. Touching on aspects of stereotypical Etonian and Oxbridge lifestyles, class warfare, privilege and gluttony, the boys (and girls) managed to successfully sell out both nights of the production - a token of the quality of the performance, especially in the ten days they had to rehearse. It was a very successful affair and a fine way to round off the Drama department’s brilliant year. Congratulations to all involved.

The sponsorship is aimed to support future engineers within their studies at A level via financial award, mentoring and access to industrial experience. We congratulate
