Warwick School

Although Warwick is a boys’ school, there are occasions on which the school is greatly enhanced by the unsung group of flower ladies, made up of wives, parents, staff and friends of Warwick School, who produce magnificent displays of flowers in the Chapel, GNH and Bridge House Theatre. The Headmaster felt that this voluntary effort should be rewarded, so, Mrs. Halse organised an “Inset” day to the Simon Lycett Flower Studio in London. Simon is an old boy of the school whose love of flowers developed during his early life in Warwick where his parents still live. He followed his dream and is now floral artist to the stars having arranged the flowers for both Posh’n Beck’s and Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowle's weddings , amongst his regular commitments to people like Elton John and top business clients and organisations.

The ladies had an unforgettable day , during which they were given suggestions and ideas as to how to put together flower arrangements. They were then given the opportunity to try out their ideas using the beautiful flowers provided by Simon.

The standard of flower arrangements at school and the enthusiasm that goes into the activity has greatly increased as a result of the tuition !
