In the first few weeks of the new term, we found a fun and creative way to introduce the School’s key figures to the wider school community. As part of the event dubbed ‘Gresham’s Does Desert Island Discs,’ the Headmaster and Heads of School were (metaphorically) cast away to a desert island. But before embarking on this imaginary adventure, they were asked in Chapel to share the music tracks, book, and luxury item they would take with them.

The format, inspired by the iconic radio show *Desert Island Discs*, provided a light-hearted and insightful platform to connect with students and staff in Chapel. It allowed everyone to get to know the personal tastes and preferences of these important figures while also delving deeper into their thoughts on school life, faith, and how they cope during challenging times.
