Other lockdown highlights include Wykeham Week , our first online fundraising campaign , and our virtual Goddard Day , about both of which you can read more below . If you have not already seen the films , please go to the Win Coll Soc website , where you can find them . If you have not seen them because you are not receiving emails from us , please contact the office on + 44 ( 0 ) 1962 621217 or email wincollsoc @ wincoll . ac . uk .
More will undoubtedly follow and we will continue to try to entertain you in ways that were not needed before lockdown . Thank you all for your support of the school during these unusual and uncertain times .
Wykeham Week
Win Coll Soc made the decision long before COVID – 19reached these shores that this was the year to take our fundraising campaign digital .
Little did we know how prescient this decision would be and the final week of Cloister Time saw our very first Wykeham Week .
Wykeham Week was about bringing the whole Wykehamical community together , but virtually . The focus was on celebrating our wonderful boarding houses and we were not disappointed by the reception we got . 107 photos were sent in of bookmarks in House colours to mark the 150th Anniversary of Moberly Library . 43 ambassadors shared our Wykeham Week celebrations with their friends , and over 400 people made a donation to our House bursary funds , totalling
over £ 100,000 . Thank you so much to everyone who took part and if you missed out this year , don ’ t worry : Wykeham Week will be back !
