Our Pre-Prep Changemakers, Head, Emma Goldsmith, and Director of Development and Social Impact, Saira Uppal, welcomed former Government appointed Food Tsar Henry Dimbleby (OD 1983) to officially open our Dragon Community Larder this afternoon. ‘You may not be aware of this - not consciously, at least - but you do not control what you eat.’ #OldDragons #DiscoverTheDragon #CASECOE #CASE #Storytelling #Education Emma Goldsmith William Morris Saira Uppal Sheena Lawrence Harry Paget Burst Design
📽 We realise the sun is shining and summer is in full swing, but if you fancy a little festive spirit, you can rewatch our award-winning (🎉) film, here: or go behind the scenes to discover the Dragons behind the magic: Overall, this is a stellar piece of work that showcases creativity, skill, and strategic thinking. The investment in outside resources was undoubtedly worth it, as the video's production value is impressive. Despite being only two minutes long, it was captivating and felt longer because of its high quality. "A Present from the Past" stands out for its exceptional videography and storytelling. From Grandpa’s pyjamas through to the cobwebs on the beams, our young filmmakers sketched costumes, tested camera angles, dressed the set, and even featured themselves! This fantastic project involved all Dragons, from current to former, and multiple departments, from Music and QUEST, through to Development and Boarding. 👏 We are delighted to be recognised internationally, among outstanding winners and nominees, for the brilliance of our incredible community. For more information go to: huge thanks to the involvement of our exceptional community, from children in Reception through to A Block, support staff, teaching staff, former staff, Old Dragons, and parents, our Christmas film, #APresentFromThePast, has been awarded a Grand Gold Circle of Excellence Award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education!
