EEDDIITTOORIALRIAL

Forty years ago one of my predecessors, George Worth, who had occupied the editorial chair for 25 annual editionswithout, in his words, “taking up valuable space to write editorial comments. I am more than content to stand asideand let the School speak for itself,” wrote briefly, sensibly and sensitively on leaving this post. The initiative was re-peated the following year, and in succeeding ones. Thus was a Tiffinian tradition established.

In continuing it, I note some recurrent themes from another year of education. The number taking French and Ger-man at A-level fell to a new record low, provoking a six month investigation (which will not concern M. Gallie and hertroops); 42% of employers had to provide remedial training for school and college leavers, as the British Chamber ofCommerce revealed that they were “disheartened and frustrated” while attempting to recruit school – and even uni-versity – leavers characterised by poor literacy, numeracy, communication skills, timekeeping, behaviour and atti-tudes. The government’s higher education access tsar, Professor Les Ebdon, warned that teenagers from ethnic mi-nority families faced excessive pressure from parents to read medicine or law at leading universities, often to thestudents’ detriment.

The lack of science practicals had produced some pupils who could not use a Bunsen burner, lamented the City ofLondon School’s head. By mid-July figures showed Mr. Gove’s department had sanctioned the sale of two schoolplaying fields every month since the London Olympics. The Education Secretary, meanwhile, complained at infanti-lisation of history lessons after an Active History website suggested classroom time spent depicting the rise of Hitleras a Mr Men story, and the Historical Association advocated pupils learn about the early Middle Ages by studying thedepiction of King John as a cowardly lion in Disney’s Robin Hood. Small wonder the number of children missingschool rose to 320,000 nationally each day… Finally, a leaked government document calculated that secondaryschools would struggle to accommodate tens of thousands of pupils following its proposed raising of the school leav-ing age to reduce the incidence of NEETS, combined with an increase in births and a three-fold jump in immigration,positing a crisis date of 2015.

This last, so vastly unlike most of the above, brings us closer to home. An extra form of entry from 2015 will expandTiffin’s number on roll, already unprecedented at 1,107 in the academic year just gone, with a sixth form verging on400, to 1340 by 2020. This is, however, not the result of government dictate, but a decision by the school madeprior to the legislation, based on Tiffin’s extreme popularity – placed second in England’s top ten over-subscribedschools [The Sunday Times, 22 September 2013], plus a main aim of this establishment, to be able to offer its prod-uct to as many young men as possible, with its renowned all-round element and reputation for enabling each individ-ual to realise his utmost potential through a quality of education allowing him to go forward to a valuable and ful-filling life.

Crucial to such expansion will be the LRC2 project, first phase scheduled for 2014, main phase to follow. To achievethis amongst the ripples of change currently ruffling education, epitomised by retrenchment – schools receive lessfor buildings now, with money only for maintenance – may prove a Herculean task, but we remain optimistic, con-straints of funding notwithstanding. Is there a donor out there? £2.5 million would really be appreciated…

For now, I shall heed Mr. Worth’s salutary advice, and let the school speak for itself.

STASTAFFFF CHANGCHANGESESIt is always sad to say farewell to members of the Tiffincommunity: our very best wishes go to the following:

CLAIRE HENDERCLAIRE HENDERSONSONFollowing beingplaced at Tiffin duringher PGCE year, Clairejoined the school as afull-time member ofstaff in September2000. From the startof her time at Tiffin,Claire showed a pas-sion and exuberancefor teaching Mathsand her enthusiasmhasn’t reduced overthe last 13 years. In addition to being a high qualityclassroom teacher, Claire also valued and enjoyed be-ing a Form Tutor, a role that she carried out in particu-larly caring style, always with the measure of the boyand in regular communication with his parents. In addi-tion, Claire held her fair share of positions of responsi-bility, which included stints as Head of Year 10, Head ofFaculty for ICT, Hans Woyda team organiser, CommonRoom Treasurer, initiator of Thursday morning coffeeand cake and the most coveted position of Announcerand Recorder at the Swimming Gala and on Sports Day.It is so difficult to do justice to her loyal service, butsuffice to say that Claire was a tremendous colleagueand made a significant contribution to everyday life andthe extended life of Tiffin School. From Duke of Edin-burgh trips, to Maths trips to Hampton Court Palace,

from the Ski Trip to Sunday River, to the odd cameorole as ‘b’ team rugby coach, Claire bought in to andvalued the extra-curricular opportunities that boys ben-efit so much from here.As a Maths teacher and self-professed ‘Maths Geek’,what typifies Claire is the personal touch; the extra timeshe takes with pupils and the mentoring that go wellbeyond the call of duty. Her most recent contribution tothe Maths department was to match Sixth Form pupilswith lower school pupils, facilitating a mentoring sys-tem that extended and challenged our most able boys.As an administrator Claire seems to operate about 3times quicker than we mortals; as Alastair Ingall put it,“if you want something done—ask Claire”. Often, shewould hear one of us in the Maths department groan atSIMS or Excel, then resolve the issue or produce aspreadsheet of the required information in next to notime. And there is a speed of email response thattakes seeing to believe. Claire possesses the power totype quicker than she can think – which is very handyfor dealing efficiently with correspondence and trivialemail matters. However, there have also been oddoccasions where her speed of response was so quick,that sleeping on a matter and returning to it beforesending an emotive response ceased to be an option.Most of the memories that I have of Claire all seem toinvolve mischief, at least one of James Kibble, IanCooksey or Michael Liddy and her crying with laughter.Sadly, none of the anecdotes would be appropriate forthis magazine, but the puerility and hilarity of them onlyheightens on the occasions when we reminisce aboutthem. Claire’s presence at Staff Socials will be greatlymissed, where her infectious sense of fun was at itsmost obvious. We promise to give her notice of the tripto Sandown, along with Jeff’s big tip for the night!Personally, I will miss a kindred ‘Maths Geek’ that getsexcited over new strategy games, loves puzzles and allthings ‘Mathletics’. I will miss how carried away Clairewould get in the heat of battle at the UKMT TeamMaths Challenge, particularly in the ‘Race’ round. I willalso remember how easily Claire would succumb to thedistraction of a game of ‘Blokus’ or ‘Quarto’. Withhours lost over the years to running battles in each,honours were probably even between Claire and I.However, we would both have to concede inferiority toStuart Trutch at ‘Curve Fever’!Claire moves on to teach at her Alma Mater, RaynesPark High. In doing so, she fulfils a wish to teachMaths in a Comprehensive school. There is no doubt-ing that she will continue to be as passionate and viva-cious and I am sure that she will stamp her authority onthe Maths department and Staff Room there in no time,too. Claire can still be found as a prolific Facebooker oron the terraces at AFC Wimbledon, no doubt with Imo-gen in tow. As we bid farewell to a fine colleague and agood friend, we wish her the best of luck facing thefresh challenges at RPH. Having exploited most of theloopholes as a pupil there, she is very well placed todeal with the likes of young Claire Joneses.

NNAAOOMI ANSONMI ANSONThe Daily Mail head-line for 5th September2005 advised firsttime buyers to ‘HeadNorth’. With a deli-cious irony, 5 Septem-ber 2005 happens tobe the very day thatNaomi began herteaching career atTiffin and for this shehad had to ‘HeadSouth’. This was notto be the last time that the Daily Mail and Naomi foundthemselves at opposite ends of the news and currentaffairs spectrum agenda.Naomi joined the English Department as 2nd in Depart-ment but was very much 1st in Department when itcame to passion, enthusiasm and a genuine thirst forteaching and learning. Amongst the many innovationsthat Naomi was authoress of, shortly after her arrival,she was responsible for modernising our monitoring,tracking and assessment (MTA) procedures, well beforesuch acronyms became ubiquitous in the increasinglyacronymistic world of education. As a keen player ofthe viola it is no wonder that Naomi had several stringsto her bow, leading a full and enriching life beyond thedemesne of KT2 6RL (the school postcode).Naomi starred in a number of Cheshire mummersplays, most notably in the 2007 revival of Atkinson’s St.George and the Turkish Knight, where according to onecritic she gave the finest ‘French Officer’ since theCompton Mummers’ celebrated 1885 performances.Ever one to blend work and play, Naomi utilised thisparticular folk narrative experience in her teaching.The English department was enriched by Naomi’s unitof work on Chivalry. If King Arthur were to awaken fromhis slumber and go on a quest or something, he wouldfind no shortage of potential recruits from the modernYear 8 Tiffinian.It is not possible to write Naomi’s valedictory withoutpausing to mention what perhaps very few of us wereaware of, during her time amongst us. As well as beinga top-notch teacher, frequently rated as ‘Outstanding’,Naomi was a very successful textile salesperson, oftentravelling the length and breadth of the sadly land-locked county of Berkshire, peddling her wares everythird Sunday from Michaelmas to Whitsun. It is a markof Naomi’s generosity that upon her departure she lefteach of us a book of swatches. These have come invery handy as handkerchiefs, whiteboard erasers,household wipes and sundry whatnots.Alas for Tiffin school, Naomi is now to be found in theleafy wolds of Bintleywood where she is currentlyenjoying something of a new career as the part ownerof a vintage coin shop, Naomi’s Numismatics(www.naomisnumismatics.co.uk). We wish her well andthank her very much.

RROOBB EEAARLRLIt is always so hard towrite a valediction forsomeone: if I writeenough to do the per-son justice it may wellalienate all those whomight want to read itin the time-deficientenvironment we livein. But I’ll do my bestto balance the needsof all.Rob came into theschool fired with en-thusiasm despite being asked to fill big shoes. He notonly succeeded but surpassed the expectations put onhim, and generously put considerable time and effortinto helping the revamping of the school website. It wassimply that he was, and is, a good team leader andmember.In his two years at the school Rob Earl established areputation that he can view with pride rather than anxi-ety, be that in terms of his contributions to the runningof the Economics Department, his work on the schoolwebsite, or in his social impact. There are a number ofconspicuous factors on his side such as a thriving num-ber of economics students in the 6th form, a healthyuptake of the subject at university, and the legacy of awell-established and respected Tiffinomics website andon-line journal that is the property of the school (whichhas not always been the case).On the personal side he was able to be similarly help-ful, buying his rounds without prompting and able totalk with aplomb about his economic interests with witand realising when to be quiet. He has always beenprofessional and considerate in his work with staff andstudents who held him in high regard.He could not resist the lure of working at a schoolwhere he only has single figures of students in a class,however, and gets paid more for doing it. Not that heever avoided his share of the workload, hidden awayout of sight up in the not quite ivory tower of Elmfield. Iwish him all the best in his new life of luxury at Trinity,and will be interested to know how he settles into aschool where I’ve seen staff smoking a pipe noncha-lantly in front of the students. Now that’s professional-ism for you!Rob, you have been a joy to work with, and thank youfor some great work and very comical memories.

DDAAVVIIDD STASTARBUCKRBUCKDavid joined the staffof Tiffin School inSeptember 2007 andbecame the Head ofthe Religion and Phi-losophy Departmentand Head of Year 12in September 2008.David went on to be-come the Head ofSixth Form in Septem-ber 2011 after threeyears as an accom-plished Head of Year12. He left in August 2013 to become DeputyHeadteacher at the Albyn School in Aberdeen.David was the leading light in the Religion and Philoso-phy department of the school and he changed the fo-cus of the way it was studied and he also made signifi-cant contributions to the whole school approach to In-dependent Learning. He also applied the same ap-proach to the work he did on changing the Social andMoral Development programme into the current 21stCentury course that all students follow from 11-16.David’s career at Tiffin was marked by his continuousdesire to improve and develop the way in which stu-dents learned and the ways in which teaching could beextended to establish the highest quality environmentfor the School. He always expected to challenge stu-dents to reach their highest potential and to value theskills of thinking, development of ideas and arguments.In his last year, he worked with Mike Liddy on the nextstage of the development of the Teaching and Learningprinciples that guide the rich educational environmentthat underpins the School.Tiffin Sixth Form developed strongly under David’s lead-ership and many students were guided through somedifficult times by David’s wise and sensible guidance.His creativity, intellectual direction and strategic leader-ship gave the School a valuable source of skill and ded-ication on which to build as it grew the Sixth Form. Hisnew post offered him the chance to return to Aberdeenwith his family which was where David had gone to uni-versity and where they were looking to settle for thenext stage of their lives. David was a great colleague towork with and he provided a friendship and profession-al support to many people in the school. I know that hewill flourish at the Albyn School and that they will bene-fit from his many talents.

AANNDDREA BOLTONREA BOLTON

Andrea joined TiffinSchool in April 2009on a temporary ma-ternity cover butsoon establishedherself as a perma-nent and very wel-come addition tothe Classics Depart-ment. As a Classi-cist, Andrea exudesenthusiasm, makingenormous contribu-tions to the organi-sation and leadingof numerous trips, both day trips in the UK and foreigntrips, most notably to Italy. Her local knowledge andlinguistic abilities were irreplaceable, particularly onvisits to her beloved Rome. More than 250 studentshad the opportunity to visit classical sites under herguidance and their experiences were all the richer forhaving Andrea on board. Stories relating to those tripsare far too many to mention here but everyone whoparticipated will have special ‘Bolt’ memories of theirown which they will treasure for a long time to come.In the classroom, that same infectious zeal for allthings classical was apparent and she secured not onlyoutstanding results amongst her students but also en-gendered a life-long interest in languages and in theancient past. Andrea also made valid contributions toother subject areas during her time at the school, mostnotably English, History and General Studies. As aForm Tutor she was second to none. Her care and con-cern for the wellbeing of her tutees and for their aca-demic progress was extraordinary. Testament to herapproach and indicative of the appreciation felt by herstudents was the send-off she received from her formgroup 11AB in July 2013.Andrea was always willing to give up her own time forthe benefit of others as was apparent in the enormouscommitment she made not only to DofE but to the high-ly successful and rewarding John Muir Award Schemewhich she firmly established at the School. Further-more, Andrea ran parent classes for Latin and oversawour very successful Classics Mentoring Scheme. An-drea always had time for others, whether colleagues,students or parents. Her departure has left a gapingvoid in the Department but we live in hope of beingable to lure her back one day! We wish her well as sheembarks upon a new life on the South Coast.

SSTTUUAARRTT TTRRUUTTCHCHStuart joined Tiffin inSeptember 2010. Ican just about re-member sitting on hisinterview lesson withRuth Harris, and wewere, obviously, veryimpressed. Terry Nar-ey asked which inter-viewee had been cho-sen, and I told himStuart had got thejob. “What, the youngguy with the funkyhair?” Terry replied, to which I said yeah, that’s him.“Looks like the type who could burn the school down”Terry said. He did say this with a huge smile, I wouldlike to add.Stuart was truly fully formed when he arrived, and hiswas the best NQT year I had ever seen. The kind oftechniques he was confidently using, I was not usingwell into my teaching career. I look back at his year asan NQT and use it as the standard to judge all newtrainees.Stuart is an exceptional teacher – there is no doubt. Ithink Mathematics is a subject that can often be taughtin a very uninspiring and mechanical way. The way inwhich Stuart teaches is an inspiration, if you have beenlucky enough to see it. He thinks in great detail aboutwhat he is teaching and to whom. He thinks of innova-tive and novel ways to present the content to his clas-ses. He takes risks with the material and does his bestto involve all of the students in his class. He questionsthe established “traditional” method and style of teach-ing. His methods are simple, yet sophisticated at thesame time, often peeling back the layers surroundingthe topic to its basic level and then building on this insuch a way as to ensure maximum understanding forhis class. His lessons are truly original and he seldomteaches the same topic the same way twice.As a colleague he shares his ideas and resources and ifyou are looking to teach something in a new or differentway, he is the man to see. I do not think I have everseen him stressed or in a bad temper – cool as theproverbial cucumber is the phrase that springs to mind.He is always up in his class in the south building plan-ning his lessons and creating resources.Stuart has been a part of the Tiffin community in help-ing to organise the UK Mathematics Trust Competi-tions, helping the students develop an enthusiasm forsolving unusual and often complex problems. He hasalso demonstrated he is a keen soccer player, and hasrepresented the staff in the student v staff fixtures withplenty of flair.He really exemplifies what I feel a committed and re-sourceful teacher represents and I think that as muchas we, his colleagues, will miss him, his students willmiss him even more. Although he has not burnt any-

thing down, he is responsible for lighting a fiery passionfor Mathematics for most of his students. I have nodoubt the students he will teach in the future will bene-fit greatly from his expertise and his passion for thesubject. He moves back to his home town of Bristolwith his wife to continue his career as a teacher.

TTOONNYY HHOOWESWESTony joined us in No-vember 2008 follow-ing a telephone inter-view in which heasked almost all thequestions. Initially hewas employed on afixed term maternitycover contract but wesoon recognised hissingular virtues andwere quick to offerhim a full time posi-tion.Tony’s teaching was characterised by a fantastic rela-tionship with his students who appreciated the care hetook in planning and delivering lessons and his readi-ness to indulge classes looking for humour to leaventhe daily bread of GCSE and A level. Few will forget hisinnovative approach to classroom management using atalking Mr T key ring or his tendency to burst into songat every opportunity.He became heavily involved in co-curricular activities;as House Master of Scott, helping to set up and run alunchtime dance club, taking a major role in the Dukeof Edinburgh award scheme and leading Outlook expe-ditions to Bolivia, Mongolia and Borneo. His enthusi-asm and positivity, even when soaking wet, addedgreatly to the atmosphere of our residential field trips.Other achievements include raising significant fundsfor the EducAid charity which is working in Sierra Leoneto provide education for disadvantaged children. Tonymade a couple of visits to Freetown as part of this pro-cess and his heartfelt accounts of the difficulties facedby the volunteer teachers and the experiences of thestudents certainly helped colleagues to gain a new per-spective on life.Adventurous as ever, Tony left us in order to undertakea challenging motorbike trek from Streatham to SouthAfrica and we are confident his ‘can do’ attitude willlead to a successful journey. We will miss his gnomicutterances, debating skills, dance moves, tact and hisendearing quality of not taking himself too seriously.

TTOOM MCM MCKENNANKENNANTiffin students re-spect teachers whohave a genuine lovefor their subject andTom definitely fitsinto that category. Hisinsistence on aca-demic rigour allowedhis classes to achieveoutstanding examresults and preparedthem very well forfurther studies at thenext level of challenge. This profound interest in Physi-cal Science also appeared outside the classroom. Whowould have thought that a debate over whether 0.9recurring was equal to 1.0 could have endured overseveral days. We were also able to gain a deeper in-sight into the concept of entropy through his relaxedapproach to washing up.Tom’s other passion was for music and his performanc-es at Gig Nights became legendary. It was amazing towitness this relatively quiet individual become a rockgod once bathed in the glow of the spotlight. He wasalso able to use his guitar to demonstrate many as-pects of Physics and it was not unusual to hear riffsemanating from room eleven, often accompanied bythe excited sounds of a class captivated by Tom’s en-thusiasm.The Science office is quieter and less entertaining fol-lowing Tom’s departure. We really miss his ability torender us helpless with laughter with a pithy, if oftenscabrous, one-liner about goings on in the school. He isnow pursuing his dream of becoming Tiffin School’s

Brian May and we wish him the very best of luck in thisnew adventure.

OOBBITUAITUARYRY

BBRIAN ALEC TIMOTHY HOLDEN 1935RIAN ALEC TIMOTHY HOLDEN 1935 –– 20132013

Brian Holden passed away on Saturday 18 May 2013 at the age of 77.His contributions to the Tiffin community havebeen enormous and his knowledge of the history of the School and its pupils will be sorely missed. He continued tobe a strong supporter of the School and the Tiffinian Association throughout his life. He was affectionately known asBAT from his initials.

His connection with the School began when he joined Form 1B on 9 September 1946 having gained an EntranceAward. He had previously been at Stoneleigh West Primary School. On entry he was assigned to Raleigh House butwas quickly moved to the new Churchill House when the houses expanded from six to eight. His record card revealshis strong involvement in the life of the school being appointed a prefect in 1953 and ending up as Head Boy in1954-1955. He left in April 1955, at the age of 19 years and 10 months, having gained A levels in French, Germanand Latin, to do his National Service.

Brian did his training at GCHQ at Cheltenham and then joined the Intelligence Corps serving in Begelen, Germanyfrom 1955 to 1957. He rose to the rank of Corporal. Most of his work appears to have been in the analysis of signalstraffic before it was reported back to GCHQ. He also worked as the cashier for the camp cinema, early evidence ofhis great organisational skills. His friend from National Service days, Peter Trevelyan, says that ‘he appeared to beimmune to the irritations of Army duties. He had an air of detachment which implied that, while he was willing toobey orders, nobody should imagine that he approved of them!’

On finishing National Service he went up to Downing College, Cambridge having gained an Open Exhibition to readModern Languages, mainly French and German but he also dabbled in Dutch and Russian. He had always wanted tobe a teacher and on leaving Cambridge became an Assistant Master teaching French and German at WimbledonCounty Secondary School in September 1960. Whilst there he edited and produced that School’s magazine.

Early in 1963 Brigadier J J Harper offered Brian a post at Tiffin and he joined in September 1963. Besides his teach-ing of French, German and Russian he led many trips abroad, particularly to France which he knew and loved so well,and also behind the Iron Curtain. He was a form master for many years and house master of Churchill-Gordon. Healso immersed himself in the running of the School: School accounts, tuckshop, vending machines, TPA link person,exams administrator, School fair, pupil insurance, covenants, speech day prizes, language laboratory, grant main-tained status, OTA Chairman in 1966, OTA Treasurer for 35years, Trustee of TAL, organiser of Cambridge and Oxforddinners, Editor of the OTA newsletter, Editor of the ex-staff newsletter and the list goes on. He was Secretary/ Treas-urer of Tiffinian Limited (and was still in post when he passed away) and helped to set up Elmfield Enterprises, other-wise known as the School Shop. He kept up correspondence with many Old Tiffinians and was a font of knowledgeabout past pupils. There are no doubt many other jobs he did which are not recorded here but he was very much MrTiffin.

Over the years he ensured that the School archives were safelystored away or accepted when offered. The result is that the Schoolhas a fine record of its history from 1880 up to the present day. Alt-hough Brian never had the opportunity to organise these archives(and they are still being organised!) they reveal his good eye for de-tail. Indeed the knowledge he had in his head about the School’shistory was vast and I was always assured of an answer when Iasked questions of him.

Officially Brian retired finally from Tiffin School in 2001 but he con-tinued to be involved in the life of the School. Indeed, in a letter hesaid “the School is both my hobby and my work.”

FFrrom Thom The He Head’sead’s StudyStudy

The academic year of 2012/2013 has seen many changes in the educational environment for all schools. At Tiffinwe have had to come to terms with funding cuts as the government has imposed reduced funding for post 16 stu-dents in schools, and other limitations on funding streams that have affected grammar schools in particular. We arebidding for funds from the DfE for the refurbishment of the 1929 building, and for our LRC2 project to replace thedining hall and Elmfield classroom space, but this is increasingly difficult as more schools are bidding for a restrictedpot of money. The support of our parents through their donations to the Tiffin Education Fund is becoming morecritical if we are sustain the standard of education and co-curricular activities that have marked this last year.

In these pages you will see how rich the life of the School has been during the year. Whether in sport, music, dance,trips to theatres, subject specific visits, competitions or any of the myriad of out of school events, Tiffin School hassustained its vitality and drive for the highest standards in all that we do and also the provision of a learning environ-ment from which all students can develop. We have also sought to set an agenda to ensure that we always look tosee what we can do better and to respond to views of our students, parents and people with whom we work. In2012/2013 we have had more visitors than ever before who want to come and see what we are doing, to learn fromour good practice and to help us in moving forward in all that we do.

We have sought the views of the public on our plans to add an extra form of entry in 2015 and we have receivedpermission from the DfE to expand the School to its largest size ever of 1340 by 2020. During the year, we also gotthe go ahead to start building phase 1 of our new building, LRC2, starting in February 2014. This will be fundedlargely by parental donations to Tiffin Education Fund.

Those who left us in the summer of 2013 were a distinctive year group as they were captured in the book ‘175 facesof Tiffin’ which will forever remain an iconic record of the Year 13 students of 2012/2013. I would also like to paytribute to them as a year group for their unity and sense of identity as Tiffin students, which was reflected in the waythey showed their support and compassion on the death of their fellow student, Conor O’Donoghue, in January 2013.

As a School we share the lives of our students and we will always remain a unique part of how they grow and devel-op. To all those that read The Tiffinian 2012-2013, I hope that you enjoy looking at what happened in the life of theSchool and reflect that, as ever, Tiffin School and its students have had another year full of activity and achievement,as it marks the 375th anniversary of the Tiffin Foundation which was set up in 1638.

ExamExaminatiination Reson ResultsultsOnce again this year’s students produced excellent setsof exam results at all levels. The Leavers’ A Level re-sults were again very high, with 88.6% at A*, A and Bgrades, ranking us in The Times as the fourth bestboys’ state school nationally, and enabling the vastmajority to progress to Russell Group and other topuniversities. A total of 21 boys won places at Oxford orCambridge. At GCSE, including the ‘IGCSE’, Tiffin main-tained a very high standard, with 82% of grades at A*or A. All these successes are despite a context, whichreceived much public attention in the summer, ofa decline in top grades being awarded nationally, mak-ing the students’ and School’s achievements evenmore impressive.

OOBITUABITUARYRY

CConor O’Doonor O’Donoghuenoghue

Conor joined Tiffin in the Sixth Form in September 2011 having spent his first five years of secondary education at StBenedict’s School in Ealing. He quickly settled to life here at Tiffin and shone as a student. It isn’t always easy tochange schools and to have to get used to new and different ways and to make new friends. Conor took to life in theSixth Form and proved himself to be a successful student with A grades in his AS examinations that he took in thesummer of 2012.

He was a mature and reflective student who was motivated and enthusiastic in his learning and in his studies in His-tory, Maths, Physics and Religion and Philosophy. The last three subjects were the ones he chose to focus on for hisA2 studies. He flourished in his academic work. He was a problem solver, an inquisitive and discursive member of aclass, somebody who liked to dissect arguments and create solutions. He had decided to go on to University to studyPhysics which had become his favoured subject for higher education. He went with the Sixth Form group to Cerne in2012 and took part in the Physics Olympiad Club. All of this had helped encourage his interest.

Conor was progressing to fulfil his ambitions and living the life of a vibrant sixth former who enjoyed his school andsocial life as a young man on the verge of going on to the next stage of his life in higher education. Conor went miss-ing on 8 December 2012 and he was found drowned in the River Thames on 8 January 2013.

His tragic death was felt deeply by his family and fellow students at Tiffin. Conor was 17 years old, a young man ofpromise and ability much loved by his family and friends. He will remain in our thoughts as a bright young man andforever as a Tiffin student. The School will respect his achievements and life and all those things that he wanted todo and yet never managed to achieve. He is remembered by a portrait that was drawn by his fellow student, SungJun Kim, which now hangs outside the Learning Resource Centre.

It is a pleasure to be here today and I am most grateful to the Headteacher, Hilda Clarke, for inviting me to preach.

Today my most important job description is as a Tiffin parent. This is my son Rory’s last day of school. And what asuperb school it is – producing young men of character and diverse achievement in so many fields. Just in Rory’syear I am aware of a Countdown champion, a Norwich footballer, an iron man, caram board kings, dance choreogra-phers, artists, origami innovators, computer wizards, musicians, singers, actors, sportsmen – and that’s before start-ing on the academics. There is something unique which knits the Tiffin community together – and something morethan a stripey blazer and a natural talent for verbal reasoning that defines a Tiffinian. But what is it?

Recently I read a book called: Five People I met on my way to heaven. The author reflects on five people who haveinspired him on his journey through life. I decided to conduct a mini-survey and ask some of Rory’s friends about fivepeople who have inspired them on their journey though Tiffin.

I won’t mention individuals – that would be giving it away! - but will rather focus on qualities these boys mentionedabout five groups: their friends, older boys, younger boys, teachers and other adults involved in school life.

There were a few challenges in terms of Tiffin lingo in my interviews, but once I began to understand what theymeant by schwef, and parr and La Fiesta, I could see that these boys had something meaningful to say about what itrepresents to be a Tiffinian!

First, about their friends - the boys I spoke to said they valued:

a strong sense of humour;

keeping each other grounded;

working hard and playing hard;

being altruistic;

being able to get on with anyone;

wanting to be active and not lounging about;

self-deprecation coupled with space to be confidently individual;

always being there for each other – on good days and bad days.

This really is a brilliant description of friendship and reminded me of the scripture passage we heard earlier – aboutfriends we can trust, who stand by us in times of trouble. As it says: Faithful friends are a secure refuge. They arebeyond price; whoever finds one has found a treasure. So, treasure your friends – friendship is a commitment. (andthose of you who are leaving Tiffin today, I believe you will treasure your friends from school for many decades tocome.)

Secondly, I asked my survey group to say what they liked about older boys when they themselves were much young-er. Of course an ugly six foot sixth former is a daunting sight when South building is getting congested, but neverthe-less my informants told me that they had valued older boys who would chat and have a laugh and not be conde-scending. They enjoyed the way that different years have different types of humour – and the fun to be found in ac-tivities which mix the years. They said it was important that older boys look back and show that they understand – forexample, understanding what it was like to be small and to depend for fun on the air-flow football.

I also then asked my survey group, now in their final year, what they valued in younger boys. They observed that ittakes all the boys to make school a happy place. Keep smiling, they said, help out – we all share the same space.They commended younger boys getting involved in whole school activities, such as contributing to house events.They said, at first it seems surprising how small a Year 7 is compared to his rucksack, but that as these new boysimmerse themselves in the life of the school, the older boys get the chance to appreciate their talents. I am told thePrefects prized the stripeys’ (ie. younger boys) participation and Orc-like ferocity in the mock battle staged earlier thisterm.

I also asked about teachers: on that they had much to say! So-and-so is so safe! So-and-so is so jokes. Many storiesseemed to involve minibus rides with Mr Morris, caram board sessions with Mr Hameed or dance routines from MrHaskey. I heard about teachers who put in so much effort, during school and after hours, to help the boys; teacherswho invest in their students as people, even while they perhaps assess their form as sporting opponents in the Widg-er match. Above all I got a strong sense of how the teaching staff care for students and shape the atmosphere of theschool.

29

And finally I asked about other adults linked to the school. Everyone had at some time lost their lunch card and wasindebted to the kindness of those in the office and the canteen. The boys valued the caretakers who are always gamefor a laugh and go the extra mile, such as opening the gates at dawn for Sunday car boot sales. Jeff the caretaker isapparently, I quote, “unbelievably safe’. My informants also mentioned great parents, giving time to get involved.

So in my mini-survey I got a rich impression of the Tiffinian character. It seems that everyone seeks to ensure thateach day is well lived – with enthusiasm and commitment. Each one of you boys is at a particular stage in your schoollife. Make each day matter; make friendship matter; make life matter. As we heard earlier from the poet Kalidasa:Today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

With such a school, I think your 17th century founders, Thomas and John Tiffin, would have been very very proud.

ence of so-recent alumni, owed most to the contributionof Assistant Head and Head of Music Simon Toyne,whose speech about recipients of the endowed prizes,redolent with wit and sparkling with prismatic play of col-ours, illuminated the evening.
