To be a Pilgrim is to  remember, Episode 8

At 11 am yesterday, Thursday 11 November (on the 11^th hour of the 11^th day of the 11^th month) Pilgrims all over the school joined in a solemn act of remembrance, the Two-Minute Silence. We joined millions of others in the country, in UK military bases around the world, as well as people in Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

To be a Pilgrim is to take responsibility, Episode 6

We encourage Pilgrims to take responsibility in the School for whatever they can, for example, for handing in their prep, for handing out or collecting in books, for putting recycling in the bin and for having a good attitude to learning in the classroom.

To be a Pilgrim is... to be musical, Episode 4

Pilgrims’ is not a music school, as you know, but it is undeniable that Pilgrims sing and play music exceptionally well. Actually, that’s an understatement. I have enjoyed music at many schools, including many schools that are also genuinely musical, but Pilgrims’ is leagues ahead. The strings are sublime, and the trebles and other voices are incredible (and this is in no way limited to just the ‘professional’ singers - the Choristers and Quiristers). The brass, woodwind and percussion are phenomenal.

To be a Pilgrim is... to remember

This weekend, we remember Henry James, a much loved, much respected former Pilgrim who sadly died a year ago on Sunday 19 September of leukaemia at the age of thirteen. Henry had a big heart and a big smile. He was kind, gentle and creative. He was quirky and so very happy. Henry was genuine. Without fail, he would be part of any Lego club in the school he would happily build serious constructions with his brother Edward. I know you all join me in sending our love, thought and prayers to Edward, Agata and Robin and their wider family. God bless you, Henry. You are so missed.
