It’s great to be reminded of how far things have come, of course, as we’re doing as part of our 175th anniversary celebrations. But that’s exactly the point – they are celebrations of how much we have achieved as an organisation, and more importantly how much our students have achieved.

During January most of us feel pressure to set targets and goals that require a year’s worth of work and effort. (Much like a crash diet!)
