The annual Baroness Warnock Memorial Concert took place on Wednesday 17th May. It was a fantastic event, with our Music staff showcasing their talents.
Baroness Mary Warnock was Head of OHS from 1966 to 1972. She had an interest in moral philosophy and a passion for music. She was a highly influential figure in some controversial areas of public policy in the 1970s, including Special Educational Needs, Human Fertilisation and Embryology.
