Oxbridge Success
We would like to extend our warmest congratulations to seven members of the Old Delphinian class of 2005 who were interviewed for places at Oxford and Cambridge in December. They applied to read a wide range of subjects including Bio Chemistry, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Natural Sciences, PPE, and Russian. In the most competitive year yet for Oxbridge places (applications were up by 40%), the four who received offers can feel especially proud. We wish them all well with their A Level exams and university careers.

Nursery Story Character Day

On Wednesday 20th JanuaryDolphin's Nursery children dressed up for charity as their favourite character from a traditional story. Every year the children of Dolphin School select a charity to support based on presentations given by the Year Eight children to the whole school. This year the majority voted for The Thames Valley Adventure Playground who provide, on a two acre site in Taplow near Maidenhead, a unique range of adventurous, therapeutic, educational play activities for children and adults with all types of disability in a safe, caring, stimulating environment.

Claire Taylor

Old Delphinian, Claire Taylor, has been awarded an MBE in the 2010 New Year's Honours List. This latest honour completes an amazing year for Claire who was also named International Woman Cricketer of the Year at the Awards in South Africa in September! Claire also became the first woman in the 120 year history of WISDEN to be selected as one of its five Cricketers of the Year.
