The English College Foundation held its 32nd AGM on 25th February 2025 at St Bride’s Foundation in London. This event consisted of two parts, the first was the usual statutory business matters and the second informal drinks for all attendees. The Directors were delighted that Mrs Sophie Vacikar Bessisso, a ECP alumna, was officially ratified as a Director by Members of the ECF. Sophie has been working with the ECF for a number of months already and her contributions have been extremely valuable.
We were pleased that Sophie agreed to be our guest speaker; she talked about how the English College had prepared her well for her law studies at King’s College, London, and she remembered with fondness the strong friendships forged at the school. Indeed, she even met her husband there!
The ECF Board of Directors thanked Members and supporters for their generosity throughout the year. Everyone was very pleased that the Headmaster, Dr Nigel Brown, was able to attend from Prague and he gave us an informative speech about the recent exciting news from the school, notably the progress of the building works, some of which will be finished this autumn, the developing scholarship programme and the three recent inspections which all went well. How good to hear this news firsthand with the opportunity for questions at the end.
