Customs and traditions

The "warm bread" ritual has been a staple of the institution's dietary culture, bringing in huge crowds of students towards a typical British bread basket located in the dining room. These events were often met with an excess of participation and as a result many criticisms have been made over the years about disappointing experiences and shortage of resources.

Controversies

The construction of the new building was seen as an act of capitalist vandalism against the original values held by the school. The new architectural changes were heavily criticized and many childhood memories forever destroyed.

The recipe of the yellow vinaigrette was never officially disclosed.
