In addition to the clubs that run throughout the year in school, we also participate in numerous national competitions and events.

The Merchant Taylors' Livery Awards are a Dragon’s Den/Apprentice style competition where a group of students have to design, finance and sell a themed item.  Competing against Merchant Taylor’s Schools from across the country, Wallingford reached the finals in 2022.

Lessons from Auschwitz is a project run by the Holocaust Memorial Trust.  Each year, they offer a handful of students the opportunity to speak to a Holocaust survivor, learning about the Holocaust and visit Auschwitz. Participants are then required to complete a project highlighting the importance of Holocaust Education. The project can be anything from a piece of artwork to a newspaper article.  There is no question that participating in this project is life changing for those students.
