As part of our commitment to broadening our academic offering we have introduced a programme of academic lectures called Horizons.
The programme offers 3 lectures per year which are held here at the School with the aim of encouraging the School community, students, parents and friends, to hear about and consider issues and themes that go beyond what is available in the classroom.
In any series the aim is to invite eminent speakers in their field to tackle subjects from a global perspective. So far, we have welcomed the following:
Dr Angela Osborne (eXmoorpharma Concepts Ltd) - Current and future healthcare challenges around the world.)
Robert Beckley (Former Chief Constable of Avon & Somerset) – Crime – The International Opportunities
Dr Jon Copley, (Marine Biologist and Scientific Consultant to BBC Blue Planet 2) – Exploring Life in the Deep Ocean
