WARDEN’S

INTRODUCTION

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and

more temperate.” So begins the Bard’s 18th, and you could be

forgiven for thinking this a fitting description of the Summer Term

at Teddies: there is something particularly special about St Edward’s

in the summer.

Rightly, there is a focus on the academic, with exams looming ever

larger on the horizon, but the pursuits of a St Edward’s summer

extend well beyond classroom, desk and library. The temperature

turns up too on the co-curricular and weekends programmes;

with one eye firmly placed on the vibrancy of Gaudy Week and the

spectacular programme of celebrations it entails, every inch of our

100 acres teems with life and activity.

Rehearsals, sports, and excursions among the dreaming spires

make summer in Oxford the place to be. I look forward to enjoying

the pleasures of all it has to offer with you in the weeks ahead.
