The Fifth Annual Bromsgrove School Research Competition 2020
Posted: 28/01/2020
Bromsgrove School’s Fifth Annual Research Competition took place last Friday, hosted by Master of Scholars, Dr Rimmer.
Six Senior School teams entered the competition, along with, for the first time, a Prep School team. They were charged with explaining how future historians would view our time by answering the prompt: what era are we living in today?
Each team impressed with their quality of research and argumentation, with teams variously proposing that we might be remembered as the Age of Intolerance, Chaos, Awareness, Global Milestones, and Carbon. However, the team from Thomas Cookes House won the prize with their eloquent elucidation of the urgency we face in this Age of Reckoning. Lead by the Headmaster, Mr Clague, the panel of judges, including Mrs Adams, Houseparent and English Teacher, and Mr Huckle, History Teacher, praised all teams, but especially commended the Prep School team for their impressive entry. This team was not only the youngest team ever to enter the competition, but they also bravely started the event by being the first team to present.
The competition was the second event in the new Scholars' Programme that encourages academic excellence through extension activities. We look forward to welcoming Old Bromsgrovians, families, staff, and students to the event again next year.
