UPDATE YOUR DETAILS If you have recently moved house or changed your email address, please contact the office on [email protected] OC News Back to top Unity the key for City's New High Sheriff We congratulate Michael Bothamley (ET '74) on his appointment as High Sheriff of Bristol. The Bristol Posts reports: It is one of the oldest offices in the country and the holder is the Queen's chosen representative in the city. Although the job of High Sheriff no longer comes with the responsibility it once did, Michael is determined to make as big an impact as he can. He was formally sworn in yesterday at a ceremony at Bristol Crown Court, which was attended by Lord Lieutenant Mary Prior and the Lord Mayor, Faruk Choudhury. He said: "For me, a vital focus of the High Sheriff's role is the place where young people and the law and order agenda meet. That is where there is a marvellous cross-over between the High Sheriff's responsibility to encourage the voluntary sector, and its support by business, and his duty to uphold the principal organs of the constitution. "As a past president of Business West, a member of the Society of Merchant Venturers and someone who has been involved with a wide range of charities, I have made great connections in all those areas. I'm now relishing the chance to bring those connections together with the new people I'm going to meet and the projects I'm going to 2 of 12 15/06/2014 21:01 eNews – May 2014 - Clifton College eNewsletter http://enews.ptly.com/clifton/enews-may-2014/ learn about, to help maximise collaboration and leverage. "My predecessor, Shaheen Chaudhry, has done that tremendously well, bringing people together and raising and using the funds of the High Sheriff's charity to support local youth projects, and I hope to carry on where she leaves off." Mr Bothamley works for DAC Beachcroft, an international law firm. In recent years he has been president of Business West, the Anchor Society and the Canynges Society, chairman of governors at Colston's Girls' School, a member of the South West regional council of the Prince's Trust, and a trustee of the Tobacco Factory, Bristol Zoo and Clifton Rugby Club. AEJ Collins – not all records are made to be broken. John Folds sent in a page from the Times of India from November 2013. A 14 year-old cricket star Prithvi Shaw scored 546, reported as a new world record. Prithvi, it reports, went 'past the previous highest score in school cricket (498)'. In the end he was out caught and bowled after scoring 85 4's and 5 6's in 6 hours, batting over two days and facing 330 balls. Well, I'm pleased to report that A.E.J.Collins scored more than that, as all OCs will remember. His 628 not out remains the highest score ever recorded. John Inverdale interviewed Bob Acheson about Collins for a radio programme that was broadcast on Radio Bristol on Monday, 3 March 2014. James Partridge (SH '70) James Partridge spoke at Clifton on 29th January, reported in the Bristol Post; 'Meet James Partridge, the man fighting for facial equality': BEFORE James Partridge sits down he glances out of the library window surveying, for a moment, the magnificent grounds of Clifton College. The fine mist of drizzle swirling on the cricket pitch below does nothing to dampen his spirits ahead of a talk at his old school where he aims to challenge, once again, perceptions about physical appearance and – most importantly – facial disfigurement. Just over 44 years ago to the day, life for the former pupil was turned upside down in a tragic car accident which left him permanently scarred.

The copper beech was dying and unsafe and was felled by Josh Brown (SH ’94) of Bristol Tree Care, who looks after most of the trees on the College campus.

Simon Russell Beale on Parkinson: Masterclass Simon Russell Beale appeared on Sky Arts on Tuesday, 8 April 2014, where he talked to Sir Michael Parkinson about his first-ever portrayal of King Lear and working with Skyfall director Sam Mendes.

OC Business Community Back to top Thursday 27th February 2014: Christopher Jefferies, Ethics and the Media Christopher Jefferies was the key speaker at the latest in the series of OCBC events, held at PWC's UK Head office in London. This was a well-researched and equally well delivered presentation regarding the Ethics of the Media. Presented with an abundance of fact and opinion provided by him and a number of quoted sources familiar with the subject, Christopher drew, for 4 of 12 15/06/2014 21:01 eNews – May 2014 - Clifton College eNewsletter http://enews.ptly.com/clifton/enews-may-2014/ example, on the thoughts of the Fleet Street editor, the late Lord Cudlipp who, he said, was "inspired by a mission" to enlarge the knowledge, freedom and welfare of ordinary people, but carried out with fun as well as earnestness, with dramatic – even sensational – impact, as well as common sense. We were told that Cudlipp thought a good paper should be an "Open University" that must also destroy taboos and foment controversy.

This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.
