Lower School pupils had a truly inspiring afternoon last week hearing from Al Sylvester, who led the RAF’s first unsupported attempt on the South Pole. Al spoke about the challenges of life in Antarctica and talked movingly about how he overcame the disappointment of not quite achieving his goal, while also dealing with the impact of frostbite on his return home, and of all the challenges he has taken on since. He also gave one lucky First Year pupil the chance to dress up as a polar explorer on the Amey Theatre stage.
