  • Theatre in Education Tour to Support Anti-Bullying Education in Staffordshire Moorlands Academic Year 2019-20
    Theatre in Education Tour to support Anti-Bullying Education In Staffordshire Moorlands Academic Year 2019-20 Written by Eleanor Vale, Company Director, Loudmouth Education & Training April 2020 PAGE 1 www.loudmouth.co.uk [email protected] 0121 446 4880 Introduction This evaluation report is feeding back on a theatre in education project that took place during the academic year of 2019-20. The project was to use a Theatre in Education (TIE) programme to support Personal, Social, Health & Economic Education (PSHE) including anti- bullying awareness in targeted schools (middle and secondary), in the Staffordshire Moorlands area. The tour was delivered by Loudmouth Education & Training using their TIE programme Bully 4 U, designed to educate on anti-bullying. The tour was funded by Staffordshire Moorlands District Council and we would like to thank Vicki Ellis, Member and Community Support Officer for her support. Established in 1994, Loudmouth Education & Training is a theatre company that supports schools and other organisations with their PSHE. Loudmouth’s aim is to help children and young people to have healthy, happy and safe relationships. The company uses drama, interaction and discussion to explore issues that affect children and young people. Loudmouth’s education and training programmes are proven to help learners to challenge attitudes, gain new skills and increase knowledge. “Very relatable to the age of the students. Key bullying topics covered. Fantastic acting that engaged ALL pupils!” PE Department, Woodhouse Academy Teacher “The Loudmouth session helped me because they gave me examples and how to deal with bullying. Now my knowledge is much better on bullying.” Year 7 pupil, Woodhouse Academy PAGE 2 www.loudmouth.co.uk [email protected] 0121 446 4880 Executive Summary • During the academic year of 2019/20 Loudmouth Education & Training delivered their interactive TIE programme, Bully 4 U, on bullying and cyber bullying in mainstream secondary schools in the Staffordshire Moorlands area.

  • The Old Denstonian Chronicle
    THE OLD DENSTONIAN CHRONICLE VOLUME 55 2019 Denstone College, Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, ST14 5HN Tel: 01889 590484 Fax: 01889 591295 e-mail: Richard Lewis [email protected] THE O.D. CHRONICLE 1 Andy Heath (Selwyn 1980-1985) Andy came to Denstone and Selwyn House in Michaelmas Term 1980 from Leek High School. The initial transition from local comprehensive to Denstone’s more demanding curriculum and the challenge of building friendships within the established networks from Smallwood Manor was quickly negotiated and Andy thoroughly enjoyed his time at College. Blessed with little co-ordination and a glacial turn of speed, sport was always a challenge although he was an enthusiastic front row forward for the reserve XV’s. Board honours were unlikely unless 1st XI scorers should ever receive recognition, whilst his athletic highlight was managing to finish 6th in the U16 Paarlauf, a selection mischievously foisted on him by a Housemaster exasperated by recurring misdemeanours. Academically stronger, he went on to study languages and Classics at A Level with strong encouragement from Sam Trounson, David Dexter and Ken Ryder, and in his final year was House Captain. Leaving Denstone in 1985, he read Ancient History and Latin at Swansea before training as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG in Nottingham, qualifying in 1991. With no great desire to remain in practice, he moved into industry in the early 1990s, initially with Vision Express. The sense of curiosity and adventure gained at Denstone led him to take on a wide range of international roles, helping to set up new ventures in Argentina, the Baltics, Hungary, Poland and the Philippines, before leaving in the late ‘90s to build a new optical business in Moscow.
