Head's Newsletter 23 March 2018

On Tuesday 13 th March TSBC raced at The Scullery at Eton Dorney Lake. We fielded crews across the year groups and came away with results to be respected. Our senior boat came 10 th overall in Junior 18 quads. In a quality field they did well to place this high. J15 boys and girls put in a decent performance coming mid-table in what was the hardest and most subscribed event. The most notable result, in the first ever race was the J14 boys quad that place a strong 14 th in a field of 50 boats. ( See photo below)

Tiffin School has received a Commendation in the ESU Debating Culture Award! The judges remarked that they enjoyed reading our application, and were impressed with our school’s initiatives that celebrate a whole-school debating culture. Well done to the Debating Society (which is 100% student run).

In exciting news, the casting director of The Crown, the highly regarded series on Netflix, came to Tiffin on 14 March to audition some boys to play the part of Prince Charles as a teenager in the forthcoming series. We wait to hear if one of them has been successful! Old Tiffinian, James Lawn, competed in the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) Head on the Tyne in Newcastle. He was rowing in the Championship Lightweight Quads for Nottingham University and his crew won bronze. Very well done. James’ crew pictured right ROWING
