Head's Newsletter 23 November 2017

On the 14 th of November six Tiffin pupils took part in a mock Question Time Debate at Marymount International School, following the recent appearance of Nathan Langford, Head Boy, on the real BBC Question Time (below).

The Tiffin Oratorio Choir has been one of the defining features of Tiffin School since the early 1960s. The aims of the choir are many: to give new Year 7 students an immersive initiation into the world of choral singing and orchestral music; to develop a sense of community engaging young and old, students, parents, teachers and friends alike; to enable the largest number of people to sing with a professional orchestra and soloists; and, most of all, to share a love of great music with our local community. The performance on Sunday evening in the Sports Hall of Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms , Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb and Duruflé’s Requiem under James Day, Director of Choral Music at Tiffin School, was attended by a hugely appreciative audience. Joining the choir to perform this remarkable work was Tiffinian, Gareth John, alongside other professional soloists and accompanied by players from the Brandenburg Sinfonia.

The panel compromised Tiffin student, Ujjaval Dhingra, and students from other local schools, who discussed a variety of topics presented by the audience. There were engaging discussions ranging from gun control in America, to “who would make the better Prime Minister, Corbyn or May?”.
