Waynflete Project winners were awarded their prizewinning certificates in an informal ceremony hosted by the President of Magdalen College, Professor Sir David Clary. Pupils presented their projects to Professor Clary, in the impressive surroundings of the President’s Lodgings, who in turn asked pertinent questions of their work and findings.
