We were delighted to receive this lovely write-up in the most recent Tatler Schools Guide:
Activities Week was a bustling and enjoyable mostly Oxford-based affair this year, with the boys engaging in a number of wonderful activities to get them out of the classroom and trying something new.
This year’s Junior and Senior Recitals successfully took place in a virtual form.
After their scholarship exams, 8S had the opportunity to carry out an independent CREST award.
As restrictions eased towards the end of Trinity, it soon became clear that we were probably going to be able to stage our usual open-air live playreading of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
The national restrictions that stopped us collaborating with our partner schools in a physical way, did not prevent us from being able to share good practice and support the wider community this year.
The NCS spirit for fundraising could not be dampened by the limiting circumstances of the pandemic.
Two of our Year 8s starred in productions at Garsington Opera during the summer of 2021.
At NCS, boys have the opportunity to participate in a range of projects with our two partner schools in Sweden and in France.
Following on from their PSB exams, the boys in Year 8 and 8S followed an afternoon program of activities off timetable.
Throughout this year, often feeling heavy with the pandemic hanging over us, the film club has developed into a safe haven, helping us to forget the worries of the world with a little bit of screen escapism every Friday afternoon.
