House Lectures
Boarding House lectures are primarily offered to stimulate young minds and prompt a degree of intellectual curiosity: speakers are carefully chosen to inspire our children and encourage them to develop a particular interest which, hopefully, they too will pursue to the very highest level. It is no coincidence that our weekend activities often mirror a lecture; for example, a recent climbing trip in the Lake District dovetailed Ben Heason’s lecture, ‘A Free-climbed Ascent of Angel Falls’.
