Mr Philip Ralph Austin-Sparks (1930-1933)

After leaving the College he joined the RAF, but tragically died in an air accident in February 1938 at the young age of 21. In his will he left a quarter of his estate to the SOF, which was used to acquire the land on which Kerrison and Garrett boarding houses are sited. Also a field was purchased to the east of the College adjacent to New Road. In thanks the Governors annually award the Austin-Sparkes prize in his memory.
