HEADQUARTERS AIR COMMAND Air Command Secretariat HEADQUARTERS AIR COMMAND Air Command Secretariat Spitfire Block Royal Air Force High Wycombe Buckinghamshire HP14 4UE Owen Everett [by email] request-132724- Our Ref: 10-10-2012-160202-013 [email protected] 5 November 2012 Dear Mr Everett, Thank you for your email of 10 October requesting information about school visits in London by the Royal Air Force. This has been considered a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000 and I have been asked to reply. You requested: Details of all schools visited by the Royal Air Force in London between September 2010 and July 2012, listed by local authority. How many times have they visited each of those schools? What year groups in those schools were visited? What kind of activity were they engaged in when they visited those schools (e.g. recruitment, curriculum related, assembly, careers advice, or Exercise categories)? I can confirm the MOD does hold information relating to your request. In the South East the Royal Air Force records each of its visits to schools by town or region, rather than Local Authority. It should also be noted that the Royal Air Force does not always record which year groups its Armed Forces Careers Officers visited. Displayed in the table at Annex A below, is a list of all schools and colleges visited by Royal Air Force Careers Officers in London. These visits can comprise of presentations, citizenship talks, meetings with staff, interviews and activities with the students. Activities with students can comprise of science and maths challenges, and other indoor or outdoor exercises. The RAF, and the Armed Forces as a whole, never visit schools for recruitment purposes and would only ever visit a school after being invited by a teacher to support school activities. Similar contributions to schools are made by the Police, Fire, Ambulance and other emergency Services. The Armed Forces get numerous requests from schools each year and the three Services take these opportunities to explain to children their role to protect the nation and pass on valuable skills such as leadership, teamwork and citizenship. If you are not satisfied with this response or you wish to complain about any aspect of the handling of your request, then you should contact me in the first instance. If informal resolution is not possible and you are still dissatisfied then you may apply for an independent internal review by contacting the Head of Corporate Information, 1st Floor, Zone N, MOD Main Building, Whitehall, SW1A 2HB (e-mail [email protected]). Please note that any request for an internal review must be made within 40 working days of the date on which the attempt to reach informal resolution has come to an end. If you remain dissatisfied following an internal review, you may take your complaint to the Information Commissioner under the provisions of Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act. Please note that the Information Commissioner will not investigate your case until the MOD internal review process has been completed. Further details of the role and powers of the Information Commissioner can be found on the Commissioner's website, http://www.ico.gov.uk Yours sincerely, Air Command Secretariat Annex A – Response to FOI Ref 10-10-2012-160202-013 Table of Schools and Colleges in London visited by RAF Careers Officers Data retrieved 25 October 2012 School / College Date of Location Type of Activity visit 1 Emanuel

In the UK, the media’s persistent focus on finding anything and everything problematic with Islam or Muslims has, to some extent, entered the subconscious of many parts of British society. Sober thinking parts of the academia and intelligentsia are now getting quite perturbed about it. This makes the on-going work of the MCB even more critical and relevant in today's climate and in the latter part of this address I will say a few words about this.

  • Dear All, This Week We Welcomed the ISI Inspection Team to the School
    Issue 168 20 September 2019 A Level Art Trip to Cass and Farnham Sculpture Parks Dear all, This week we welcomed the ISI inspection team to the school. The sun shone at both Prep and Seniors and it was a fantastic opportunity to be able to share with them what an excellent school Old Palace is. They spent two days immersing themselves in the life of the school from Nursery through to the Sixth Form. We await the formal outcome of the inspection, which usually takes about 8 weeks, and we will be able to share this with parents once it is received. Thank you to all the parents, students and staff who took the time to complete the ISI survey in advance of the visit. As ever, our girls were excellent ambassadors for the school and the inspection team were fully of praise for the mature, confident and enthusiastic way they engaged with the visitors. Well done! We were very pleased to welcome Father Andrew, Chaplain to the Whitgift Foundation, to the House assemblies in Chapel this week. With Founders’ Day only a week away it was a great opportunity to for the girls to learn or be reminded of the purpose of the event and the history of how the school was founded. The House assemblies also saw the Year 6 and the new Year 7 students welcomed to each House (Anselm, Hatton, Laud and Stafford) by the House Prefects. They are now proud owners of shiny, new House badges which they are wearing with pride around the school! With another weekend of fine weather ahead I hope all Old Palace families enjoy a very pleasant and relaxing weekend.
