So who would you choose as the winner of our Archive football throw down? Which trip would you most like to go on?

With a very big football match coming up in just over an hour's time, we thought that we would have our own England v. Germany in the Archives. Today we are comparing a school trip to Burghley House v. Altenahr. Who do you think will win? #ENGGER #ArchiveFootball #SchoolTrips

Our second team is team Altenahr. In Summer 2011, lower school students were given the chance to visit the Rhineland-Pfalz area of Germany. Highlights included a trip to Cologne (including a chocolate museum) and Bad Breisig. #ENGGER #ArchiveFootball #SchoolTrip.

We've talked about @OakhamSch houses who have memorable canine residents but never any feline residents. Meet Lu-Lu (foreground), the cat in Lincoln House in 1997. Seemingly adored by the Lincoln boarders, it seems that Lu-Lu firmly adopted the house as her palace! #SchoolCats

One of the more unusual articles found in the Oakhamian Magazine, these images of manhole covers in School House Quad accompany research on Thomas Crapper & Co. Ltd, the fathers of modern sanitary engineering. #Unusualfind #ManholesCanBeExcitingToo #LocalHistory

Today we commemorate the Duke of Edinburgh by sharing an Archives blog. We're honoured he visited the School many times, including when he awarded the 1000th Gold DofE Award in Nov 2000. We're proud to be the first school to reach this milestone. Read more>https://t.co/xmQ3HtP9qa
