Club & Societies at School

The Herrick (English Lit Society)

'The Herrick', named after OMT Robert Herrick, the 17th Century metaphysical poet, is a society dedicated to those with an intellectual curiosity for English. Its purpose is to introduce students to the wider world of literature and language in ways that go far beyond the exam syllabus. The Herrick is a meeting point of different disciplines, a place where you will discover writers, texts and ideas that will enlarge your mind, feed the soul, and make you see the world and humanity in a more complex and different light. Meeting weekly or fortnightly, The Herrick takes the form of an informal presentation, by either a teacher or student, followed by lively discussion. It feels very much like a university seminar and is the perfect preparation for those looking to take a degree English or in the wider arts and humanities.
