We are always interested to hear news of past pupils. We were pleased to welcome back Victoria Turner as guest of honour at our Presentation Evening in November. Pictured left, Victoria left school in 1995, she took a gap year and spent four months studying for a French Diploma at the Sorbonne in Paris. She then went to University College, Oxford to read Classics and was awarded a first-class honours degree. Since 2007 she has been a curator at the British Museum, she has also co-authored a book and recently embarked on a PhD at UCL. Ben Alun-Jones pictured right, visited Twycross House to talk to the Lower Sixth about engineering at Imperial College. Ben also offered an interesting insight into the advantages of taking a gap year and working for 'A Year in Industry'. Ben is now completing his studies in Santa Barbara, California.

Presentation Evening 2009
We were delighted that so many of last year's Upper Sixth were able to return from university in November to receive their GCE certificates along side those receiving their GCSE awards. It was a pleasure to welcome Victoria Turner as our guest speaker for the evening. Pictured here right: Hamish Rankine (left) is studying Chemical Engineering at Manchester. He is enjoying the course and the city and is to play in the Ultimate national finals against Loughborough and Dundee. Alasdair Killin is taking a gap year. He is travelling to Canada in the New Year to work in a ski resort and will be reapplying to university to read English.
