Members of the Upper Sixth presented their Waynflete Studies projects to guests and fellow students during the seventh Waynflete Studies Evening, once again displaying an impressive breadth and depth of passion and research.
The evening began with a busy reception in the Dining Hall organised by the Parents’ Association, with visitors then making their way to the CS Building for the presentations themselves. Projects this year ranged from ‘Did WWI change attitudes to mental health?’ and ‘Homosexuality and the Bible’ to ‘Did WWII produce the equivalent to a modern computer?’ and ‘Viral DNA in the human genetic code’.
The Waynflete programme is an intensive research course which all Lower Sixth students follow, guided by leading academic experts from the University and beyond. It is named after the school’s founder, William Waynflete, whose vision established the dual institution of Magdalen College and its School. The Waynflete course is inspired by that vision, seeking to maintain the links between school and university which began over 500 years ago. It greatly enhances the Sixth Formers’ curricular studies, preparing them for academic work at a higher level and offering them invaluable support for their university applications.
