Members of the RAF section of our Combined Cadet Force took to the air this weekend.

A total of nine cadets visited RAF Tern Hill in Shropshire to take part in gliding with 632 Volunteer Gliding Squadron.

We are extremely grateful to all at RAF Tern Hill for their training and guidance.

Dozens of girls took part in the Foundation Stones project to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

Pupils decorated stones to commemorate the Jewish men, women and children killed in the Holocaust and all other victims of Nazi persecution. The project also invites participants to choose to dedicate their stone to those killed in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

Building on the Jewish custom of placing a pebble on headstones when visiting a grave, Foundation Stones from across the United Kingdom will become part of the new memorial, each one a commitment to remember and learn from the past.

Congratulations to young climbers Emily and Jacob, who have both been selected for the GB National Development Squad for 2022 in their respective age groups.

For Emily, selection to the GB National Development Squad 2022 is a culmination of four years of competitive climbing, a huge acknowledgement not only of her hard work and dedication but also her achievements to date given her success in regional and national competitions.

Jacob has only been competing over the past two years and his selection for the GB National Development Squad 2022 is a deserved recognition of his success in regional competitions along with his natural enthusiasm and ability with climbing.

Admission tutors from the University of Liverpool School of Health Sciences visited Merchant Taylors’ last week.

Boys and girls in Year 11 and 12 from Merchant Taylors’ and neighbouring high schools came together in the Williams Hall to hear details of the broad range of medical careers available.

It was a fascinating opportunity to learn about the various different options and pathways that are on offer within this field.
