We start 2025 with huge congratulations to two Old Stops for receiving awards in the King's New Year Honours List. 

Dr Anthony Freeman (OS 1976) has been awarded a CBE for his services to UK/US Relations in Space and Earth Science, whilst Professor Rachel Oliver (OS 1996) has been recognised with an OBE for services to Materials Engineering.

The School had a chat with Dr Freeman last year about his stellar career at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory - you can find out more on our website and stay tuned for our catch-up with Professor Oliver coming soon...
