A huge thank you to Ryan Jay (Phillips '06), an Old Aylebsurian, who returned to the School to judge this year’s House Writing competition. Ryan, a professional copywriter, brought his expertise to bear, delivering detailed and insightful feedback to the editors of each house after reading their extensive magazine entries.

He was blown away by the standard of writing, praising the creativity, variety, and the incredible amount of work that had clearly gone into each publication. Ryan particularly noted the involvement of students across all year groups, and how engaging and imaginative the content was throughout.

We are incredibly grateful to Ryan for generously giving up his time and our students are lucky to benefit from his insight and encouragement.

Congratulations to Ridley, this year's winners, for producing a polished and professional magazine. Their excellent pieces were organised in a thoughtful and engaging way, making the publication a real delight to read. Well done, Ridley!

We highly recommend taking some time to browse through this year's magazines, all themed around 'Refuge'. The variety of interpretations and inventive approaches to this broad theme make for fascinating reading.
