Speaking To Our Students

Prince Edward visited the Bishop of Winchester Academy display. He asked who was currently taking part in The Duke of Edinburgh award scheme and whether or not anyone was planning on taking part in the scheme in the future. We explained that students could chose to take part in the scheme during their enrichment period beginning next term. He also asked a little about The Duke of Edinburgh award scheme itself. I then presented the Earl with a school candle, he asked what the school motto, ‘Sapere Aude’, stood for and I explained that it translated to ‘Have The Courage To Be Wise’. He thanked me before moving on to other displays.
