College debaters
in top form
College debaters reached the regional final of the
prestigious English Speaking Union Mace this term.
T
he team’s victory in the local heat held
last December had qualified them for
the second round at Sevenoaks School.The
competition was fierce, with 18 of the
strongest debating schools in the country
(including Winchester,Tonbridge, King’s
Canterbury, Charterhouse, Sevenoaks and
Tunbridge Wells Girls’ Grammar) battling
for a place in the South East regional final.
George Hatfield from the 5th form
and L6th former Patrick Lewis were
outstanding in proposing the motion This
House Would Support State-Funding of Assisted
Suicide against Sevenoaks, the eventual
winners of the whole competition, and
qualified for the regional final held the
same afternoon.
5th former Emily Mason substituted for
George in the final where she and Patrick
were pitted against Charterhouse in
arguing The Case for a Ban on the Use of
Solitary Confinement. Despite losing to
Charterhouse, both Emily and George
spoke very well and it was an outstanding
achievement for them to reach this stage
of the competition.
“The future for debating at Epsom is
very bright as we have a particularly
talented clutch of young debaters. For
two 5th formers to more than hold their
own against the top 6th form teams in the
South East of England is exceptionally
impressive,” said their coach Angela
Drew, Deputy Head Academic.

concert by the winners of the annual InterHouse Solo Instrumental Competition.The
annual competition, which operates as a music
festival with pupils entered in classes appropriate
to their playing standard, attracted a large entry
once again this year and reflected the rich
diversity of music at the College. “The Solo
Instrumental Competition involves all the
musicians in the school performing in music
festival-style classes, adjudicated by external
adjudicators.The winners of each class go on to
perform in this concert and the standard of the
event is, therefore, very high,” said Graeme
Lodge, the College’s Director of Music

Ten M4 pupils, who are studying Mandarin as their
second foreign language, had first-hand experience
of the Chinese New Year celebrations when they
visited a restaurant that specialises in Chinese food.
Organised by Mandarin teacher Zhie Liu, the visit
to the Cosmo restaurant in Croydon enabled pupils
not only to sample a wide variety of Chinese fare,
but also to place their orders in Mandarin.
Lessons this term have focused on the topic of
food and drink, so the students were well prepared
to place their orders.The evening was a hugely
successful exercise in educational terms, promoting
a greater cultural awareness as well as skill in using
the spoken language.

Six U6th form students have achieved
outstanding grades in their Extended
Project Qualification (EPQ). Of the
six entries, five were awarded an A*
grade and the sixth a creditable A.
The EPQ was introduced in 2007
as a pilot course and since then
students taking the exam have gone
from strength to strength, with results
continuing to improve.The freestanding qualification offers 6th form
students the opportunity to study a
topic in depth and produce a final
dissertation and is designed to add a
further dimension to 6th form study and
to stretch the more ambitious scholar.
One of the most praiseworthy
aspects of this year’s entries was the
high standard of academic writing,
similar to that used in academic
journals. “It is no exaggeration to say
that our candidates have written in a
style that would be creditable even in
second or third year undergraduate
courses,” said Head of Department
Maureen Odendaal.

Smiles all round as 5th form Maths students celebrate their early
IGCSE results with Maths masters Paul Williams and Jim Stephens
Early success for
IGCSE MATHS STUDENTS
E
arly IGCSE exam results have proved to be amongst the
best ever for the College Maths Department, with an
outstanding 90% of candidates being awarded an A* grade.
Some 41 pupils sat the Maths IGCSE exam last November as
an early entry and were delighted with their excellent results,
scoring a total of 37 A*s and four A grades. Ed Boughton and
Matthew Pollard performed particularly well, both scoring
100% in the exam.
“This is one of the best sets of accelerated results ever and
the pupils and their teachers – Paul Williams and Jim Stephens
– should be very proud of themselves.They have set a very high
benchmark for next year,” said Andy Wilson, Head of Maths.
There will be no rest for the successful pupils, however, as
they have already started studying for the AS module, which
they will take in the summer.
Along with many other leading independent schools, Epsom
introduced the IGCSE in Mathematics, Science and Information
Technology because the more challenging courses give pupils a
much stronger base for A level study.
Peter Kalmus OBE, Emeritus Professor of Physics at Queen
Mary, University of London, visited the College this term
to give a presentation to A-level Physics students.
His talk, entitled Mirror Images, Antimatter and Time
Reversal, developed upon the pupils’ knowledge of particle
physics and gave a brief insight into the symmetries of
matter and how the symmetry is broken by the weak
interaction force.
Professor Kalmus explained how this symmetry breaking
could help us to avoid being annihilated by a science
fiction-type antimatter alien from another world.
The talk also touched on the subject of asymmetry
between forward and backward directions of time, at the
microscopic level, and highlighted the absurd situations
which would arise on larger scales if the arrow of time
could be reversed.
Professor Kalmus is the author of more than 200 pieces
of original research and has taught students at all levels.
Although notionally retired, he now focuses his attention
on bringing physics to the next generation of scientists.

M4 pupils enjoyed a lecture by
eminent art dealer Aaron Young
in February as part of their
ongoing cultural education
programme.
Chairman of The Halcyon
Galleries Group in Mayfair, Aaron
Young has been involved in the
art business for some 35 years.
He showed the pupils works by
Picasso, Renoir, Descartes and
Andy Warhol and told them
how he became an art dealer.
He also discussed his role in
putting Simon Gudgeon’s Isis, a
sculpture commissioned by the
Royal Parks Foundation to raise
funds for a new education centre,
into its permanent resting place
in Hyde Park.
The aim of the lecture,
organised by the College’s Head
of Transition, Ben MacDowel,
was to make the pupils aware
that fine art can come in many
guises, costs and formats.

Sporting Life
Over 25 different sports are on offer at Epsom College as part of a “Sport for All and for Life” philosophy
S
port is a vital component of life at
any boarding school and Epsom
College is no exception. On any
Saturday afternoon during term time,
upwards of 30 teams represent the school
at all levels of ability from A to E teams.
“Our whole aim as educators is to
encourage a lifetime of healthy living and,
hopefully, enjoyment through sport.We
want our youngsters to be prepared for
life, not just academically, but to develop
the all-round skills needed to allow them
to compete in the workplace. Sport and
physical activity have a huge part to play,”
says Fi Drinkall, the College’s Director
of Sport.
Gap year students like Adam Bristow
from Zimbabwe play an important
role in activities and games

www.epsomcollege.org.uk
Fi, who was educated at Millfield and
studied Sports Science at Loughborough
University, has been at Epsom for 14 years,
the last eight as Director of Sport and Head
of PE.
She believes in the importance of Saturday
school and the opportunities it affords for
enjoying sport.
“Dedicated Saturday afternoons given
over to the playing of matches not only
allows for training and other activities
during the week, but gives pupils a match
day buzz.The College is a very public shop
window at the weekends, fostering a sense
of community and a time for parents to
come and support their children,” she says.
Over 25 different sports are on offer at
Epsom, covering almost everything from
lacrosse to fencing, table tennis to golf and
badminton to sailing. Most pupils are
involved at all levels three or four times a
week.The aim is to provide a programme
that will both stimulate the most talented
and able, providing opportunities to excel,
but also to encourage those of lesser ability.
Other sports, including target rifle
shooting, abseiling, orienteering, parachuting
and diving, are available through the
extensive Combined Cadet Force (CCF)
and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme
programmes.
The commitment to sport at Epsom is
immense and is only possible due to its
dedicated team of coaches.There are
currently in excess of 100 staff involved in
the coaching of sport, with members of the
Common Room, a number of whom have
performed at the highest level themselves,
playing an invaluable part.
There is also access to external expertise
from many of the best coaches in Surrey
who visit the College on at least a weekly
basis.Visiting professionals like England
Rugby 7s international and coach Mike
Friday and England netballer Tamsin
Greenway have held skills workshops,
while the Fitness Suite also has a number
of professional personal trainers and health
and fitness advisors on hand to coach
students, staff and parents.
T
he role of post-graduate and postschool gap year students should also
not be underestimated, says Fi. “Gappies”
first came to Epsom some 13 years ago.
They have a one year contract from January
to December and spend the majority of
their time assisting in activities and games.
This year the College has four gappies,
Adam Bristow and Grant Bydawell from
Zimbabwe, Steph Carter from Australia
and Jamie Grant from South Africa.

The extensive sports programme at
Epsom would not be possible, of course,
without the facilities to back it up.The
College boasts some of the very best
chalk-drained, traditional grass pitches in
the south of England, two Astroturfs for
hockey and tennis, indoor and outdoor
cricket nets, a 25 metre indoor swimming
pool, an indoor shooting range, nine
netball courts, six squash courts and a
large and fully equipped sports centre
featuring two halls, a high tech gym, fitness
suite and dance studio.
Ongoing investment in the future has
recently seen the completion of a further
three new, artificial, floodlit netball/tennis
courts on the grass area near Fayrer House.
These outstanding facilities have led to
the College being selected by the London
Organising Committee of the 2012
Olympic and Paralympic Games as
an approved pre-games training venue.
The College also regularly hosts County
netball, squash, badminton and fencing
finals and has been the venue for the South
East Regional Festival and National Finals
of the National Schools Rugby Tournament
(NSRT) for the past 10 years.
ver the past three years, Epsom
has produced in excess of 15 junior
internationals in sports ranging from rugby,
golf and hockey to shooting, fencing and
wakeboarding. Many pupils have achieved
county and divisional representative honours
and College teams in all disciplines perform
consistently well on a very competitive circuit.
In boys’ rugby, Old Epsomians George Lowe
and Chris York played for England in the 2009
U20 Rugby World Cup and Joe Trayfoot has
played for England U18s. All three are now
professionals at Harlequins.
Current rugby internationals include Kyle
Sinckler, who has played for England U18s and
has been selected for the England U19 squad,
Tom Harty (England U18),Tom Flynn (Ireland
U18 and USA U17), Jordan Burns (England
U16) and Cameron Jeffery, Ben Francis and
James Francis (Scottish Exiles).This year’s 1st
XV captain,Tom Bliss, is also captain of the
London and South East Division U18 team.
The girls too are making a mark in rugby,
winning the Sussex Open 7s in 2010 after
coming runners-up the previous year, and
confirming their growing stature this season by
winning the Reigate Charity 7s. L6th former
Rochelle Smith has represented the London
and South East Division and is a member of the
England High Performance Academy and the
England U18 Rugby Talent Development Group.
The College has also had enormous success
in girls’ hockey. Current captain Tash Nichols has
represented England at U16 level and the
1st XI has been unbeaten in three of the last
four seasons, winning the prestigious Christ’s
Hospital Pre-Season Tournament three years
running in the process.
The 1st XI’s outstanding form over the past
several years was recognised with an invitation
to play Oakham School in the curtainraiser to
this year’s Ladies’Varsity Hockey match at
Southgate Hockey Club. Old Epsomian
Rebecca Carpenter is the captain of the
Oxford University ladies’ team this season.
But it is not just in the major sports that
Rochelle Smith, a member of the England
U18 Rugby Talent Development Group,
won the Player of the Tournament award at
the recent Reigate Charity Sevens
Epsom excels. Amongst recent OEs, Gaurav
Gupta has represented India at fencing, in
netball Eboni Beckford-Chambers played for
England at the Commonwealth Games and
so too did Abi Raye for Canada in women’s
hockey. A number of College shooters,
including Alex Dowle and Jack Ball, have also
represented Great Britain.
Indeed, in target rifle shooting, the College
has an exceptional record of success. Last year,
for the 14th time overall and 13th time in the
past 21 years, the 1st VIII won the prestigious
Ashburton Shield, beating Charterhouse’s
record for the highest number of Ashburton
wins by a single school. Most recently, U6th
former William Broad has been selected to
tour Canada with the British Cadet Rifle team
and L6th former Henry Awin has gained
selection for the UK Cadet Rifle team tour to
the Channel Islands this summer.
The past few years have also seen Epsom
impressive in golf, with the team coming
runners up in the 2009 national finals of the
HMC Foursomes and David Boote playing for
the Surrey Men’s 1st team and Wales U18s
and being selected in Tier 1 of the Golf Union
of Wales National Squad for 2010/2011.
Athletics is thriving; basketball is growing in
popularity, with Epsom now hosting its own
annual tournament; last summer the College
enjoyed its best ever results in competitive
sailing; the girls are the current National
Independent Schools’ Beach Volleyball
champions; and Natalie Sciver is a regular with
the Surrey Ladies’ cricket team and has been
selected to attend the England Ladies’ Cricket
Academy camp.
Girls’ squash has also taken off
this year with the U19 team coming
runners-up in the British National
Squash Championships.

The school play, Arms and the Man, was
staged over three evenings at the beginning
of March.The talented cast delivered the
subtle wit of George Bernard Shaw to
great effect as they recreated 19th Century
Bulgaria at the end of the Bulgarian/
Serbian war.
Alex Hughes’s team created an impressive
set in Big School and the costumes and
make-up all added to a tremendous show.
Patrick Lewis delivered a commanding
performance as Captain Bluntschli and was
gracefully opposed by Carys Bainbridge as
the tempestuous Raina. Max Austin won the
audience's hearts as the pompous Petkoff
and Emily Mason proved to be the perfect
pick as his ever-patient wife, Catherine.
Rachel Mewett gave a fiery performance
as Louka opposite Ben Grant’s stubborn and
philandering Sergius, while Will Entwistle
delivered an endearing Upstairs/Downstairs
performance as Nicola. Anthony Draper
completed the cast as a vocally imposing
officer.
Over 100 students and staff
congregated in Big School for
the inaugural U6th form
Valentine's Ball organised by
College prefects. In keeping
with the glitz of Valentine’s
Day, the dress code for the
evening was black tie with a
touch of red and the tables
were decorated with red roses
and heart-shaped confetti.
The revellers danced the night
away to a disco featuring U6th

The College welcomed The Chief
Constable of Surrey, Mark Rowley QPM,
as the guest speaker at the inaugural
Lord Rosebery Lecture this term.
His lecture, Policing in the 21st
Century, marked the start of a series,
which will see eminent public figures
give talks to 6th formers from Epsom
College and other schools in the area.
A large audience of students and
staff, together with 6th formers from
Glyn School, gathered in Main Hall
to hear Mr Rowley discuss people’s
expectations of the police and what
they actually do, as well as how policing
has changed over the past 20 years
particularly with regard to recognising
new “crimes” such as domestic violence.
The Lord Rosebery Lectures take
their name from the British Liberal
Prime Minister in whose honour one
of the College’s 12 Houses is
named. His final days were
spent living on Epsom Downs and on
Sundays he came to the College Chapel
to join in the morning Eucharist.
The second lecture in the series will
see John Mulholland, Editor of the
Observer, visit the College in October.

as they went and passing the frying pan
on at each corner before making a dash

B
ig School was transformed into a
magical forest for two nights at the end
of term as a talented, young cast wowed
packed audiences with their interpretation
of Leos Janacek’s opera The Cunning
Little Vixen.
The production, directed by former head
of English, Stephen Oliver, was accompanied
by a professional orchestra containing many
of the College’s visiting music teachers.
Directed by Graeme Lodge, the company
tackled the complex score and delightful
storyline with great maturity and dexterity.
Abi Marrow sparkled as the vixen, not
just with her note-perfect singing, but her
realistic feline movements and expressions
gave her enormous stage presence. She held
the attention throughout – an impressive and
mature performance from one so young.
Nick Hammond also starred with his
vivid portrayal of the complex character of
the forester, who fluctuates throughout from
boorishness to tenderness. Camilla Green as
the fox, Henry Warne as the schoolmaster
and Richard Barth as the priest all excelled
too, matching the beauty of the music with
the quality of their own singing.
Meanwhile, Harry Kersley’s second half
cameo as the poacher once again showcased
the power of his voice and Ying Fam’s
beautiful ballet dancing as the dragonfly
added an elegance to the production.
The way that all of the performers
inhabited their characters, from a spacehopping frog to uppity and frantic hens,
meant that the audiences were effortlessly
drawn into the mysterious world of the
forest.The changing mood of the music,
as darkness followed levity, humour
followed sorrow, was a challenge for all
the performers but one that met with
great success.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect was
that such an ambitious and unique opera
was carried off with such panache by what
was mostly a junior cast.
SUN SH INES O N AG I DAY
The College was delighted to welcome Brigadier Matthew
P Lowe MBE, Deputy Commander, London District, as the

T
he girls’ and boys’ rugby 1st VII squads
got the 7s season off to a flying start
at the inaugural Reigate Charity Sevens,

and the boys coming runners-up.
The tournament at Reigate has replaced
the U18 boys’ and girls’ Sussex Open
The girls’ 1st VII squad with the
Reigate Charity Sevens trophy
Sevens previously held at Christ’s Hospital,
which the Epsom girls 1st VII won last
year so effectively they were defending
their title.
In their first group match the Epsom
girls came up against Cranbrook, the team
they defeated in the final the previous
year. After a cagey start, the College side
eventually found some form and ran out
15-5 winners.
A 21-0 walkover over SEEVIC College
was followed by a convincing 29-0 win
against Hurstpierpoint to put the College
side into the semi finals where they beat
Pangbourne 27-10.The final against
Wisbech Grammar was a tense affair with
Wisbech establishing an early lead, but
Epsom came back strongly to take the
title with a 19-10 win. Rochelle Smith
was named Player of the Tournament.
In the boys’ competition, the
Epsom 1st VII were in a very strong
section of the draw but battled their
way to wins over Tonbridge (22-21),
London Oratory (24-10) and King’s
Canterbury (26-7) to reach the
quarter finals.
The quarter final pitched Epsom
against old 7s rivals John Fisher, but
the College side moved up a gear to
win 31-19.The semi final against St
Joseph’s College Ipswich was much closer
and Epsom had to dig deep to reach the
final with a 21-17 victory.
Despite playing well in the final against
Brighton College, however, the exertions
of the earlier matches appeared to take
their toll on the College side and the
Sussex school took the trophy with a hard
earned 21-14 win.

Having already achieved the runner-up
position, the girls were determined to
play their best but the final match against
