Welcome Back!
Few Mirfield students think their time here quite complete until they have returned for Deacons’ Week. It was our privilege, last month, to welcome back seven deacons who left the College in 2019. Their visit allowed us to trial our social distancing measures for the new term and so it was with some confidence that […]

After a lot of consultation and a great deal of calculation we have decided to postpone the auction scheduled for 5 September 2020 until a date to be decided in 2021.
