Old Warwickians

View from my window

As part of a Warwick Schools Foundation Creative Festival, which has the theme of ‘Home’, we have created an online Old Warwickians gallery of ‘View from my window’ images provided by OWs around the UK and overseas.

OWs are invited to email a single image showing a ‘View from my window’. The view could be of anything, from home, work or place of study, at any time of the year. Each ‘View from my window’ will appear here on www.oldwarwickians.org and we will also use a selection on the Old Warwickians pages on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.  To respect people’s privacy, unless you have permission, it’s best that no people are included in the image. Views, wildlife, events or anything fun, unusual or just a good photo would be great.   

Please add an image by emailing it to a.douglas@warwickschool.org with your name, years at Warwick School, approximate date the photo was taken and a caption.
