Here's a few more images from our event on Friday where we renamed our building the Kathleen Kenyon Building in honour of a trailblazing archaeologist and #InternationalWomensDay. There were funny speeches, delicious cakes, amazing cartoons and beautiful banners galore!

This event featured a brilliant, emotive, passionate and funny speech by my colleague Alice Samson. She represented the fabulous and talented women I am so lucky to work with. Our School is such a special place on days like today
