Congrats to Rufus S, who won Oriel College’s Rex Nettleford essay prize. Inspired by his reading of James Baldwin’s Tell Me How Long the Train’s Been Gone, Rufus’s essay explored the role the arts play in the creation, or challenging of, racialised hierarchies. @WellyAcadExt

We couldn't have asked for a better way to kick off @Welly_HECareers Festival 2022 than last night's Fireside talk with Lord Simon Woolley. 'A call to be the driver and have the self-belief to dream big whilst working small to rectify justice and change the world.' @WellyAcadExt

Politics is one of the most popular subject choices for A level and IB students at Wellington College, and with Washington gripped by Mid Term election fever there was no better time than October for 28 Wellington politics students to visit the city. wellingtoncollege.org.uk/new…
