  • Why Bother to Study the Rulebook?
    MARCH 2019 MONTHLY BLOG/ 99 WHY BOTHER TO STUDY THE RULEBOOK? If citing, please kindly acknowledge copyright © Penelope J. Corfield (2019) Joining a public committee of any kind? Before getting enmeshed in the details, I recommend studying the rulebook. Why on earth? Such advice seems arcane, indeed positively nerdy. But I have a good reason for this recommendation. Framework rules are the hall-mark of a constitutionalist culture. Fig.1 The handsome front cover of the first edition of Robert’s Rules of Order (1876): these model rules, based upon the practices of the US Congress, remain widely adopted across the USA, their updating being undertaken by the Robert’s Rules Association, most recently in 2011. Once, many years ago, I was nominated by the London education authority – then in the form of the Inner London Education Authority or ILEA – onto a charitable trust in Battersea, where I live. I accepted, not with wild enthusiasm, but from a sense of civic duty. The Trust was tiny and then did not have much money. It was rumoured that a former treasurer in the 1930s had absconded 1 with all the spare cash. But anyway in the early 1970s the Trust was pottering along and did not seem likely to be controversial. My experience as a Trustee was, however, both depressing and frustrating. The Trust was then named Sir Walter St. John’s Trust; and it exists today in an updated and expanded guise as the Sir Walter St. John’s Educational Charity (www.swsjcharity.org.uk). It was founded in 1700 by Battersea’s local Lord of the Manor, after whom it is named.

There are over 820 pupils on the roll across the Prep and Senior Schools. Girls aged 3-11 attend the Nursery and Prep School, located in spacious buildings with outstanding facilities in Streatham Hill. The Senior School inhabits a four-acre site focused on an imposing 1930s building in a delightfully tranquil and leafy oasis of south London, where the soundscape is dominated by birdsong. The ability profile of the school is significantly above the national average, with a proportion of pupils being far above the national average. The school is in the top tier of independent schools in terms of its public examination results. Pupils do well: in 2019 at GCSE, over 23% of results were Grade 9 and 72% of Grades 9 to 7; and in 2020 at GCSE, over 28% of results were Grade 9 and 78% were Grade 9 to 7. At A-Level, the percentage of grades at A*-B over the past five years has averaged around 75% and was 83% in 2020. 88% of SCHS pupils secured a place at their first choice of university in 2020. Many girls live locally and an increasing number walk or cycle to school, encouraged by the school’s commitment to sustainable travel. The Senior School is 10 minutes’ walk from Streatham Hill National Rail station and twenty minutes from Balham National Rail and Underground.

Ambition, creativity and achievement abound in all those groups. The clearest evidence of all three qualities was apparent at the end of September when, on an extraordinarily balmy Friday afternoon, Jeremy Filsell (Keble 1982) gave the inaugural recital on the new Tickell organ in the College chapel. It was a splendid occasion on which we were able to celebrate the generosity of those who had contributed to this important project. One of the pieces in the recital programme, and receiving its first performance, was a Toccata written by Professor John Caldwell, Music Fellow here from 1967-92. The College now has an instrument which is perhaps the best in Oxford. This is rather shorter than previous letters from the Warden in The Record. That reflects the fact that we are changing the format of College publications and I and others now have the opportunity to write on various aspects of the life of the College in different formats.
