It deals only with the Secondary and Technicea education dispensed by public bodies. The private adventure schools are excluded as are the elementary schools, both private and public, and schools maintained by the Roman Catholic Church. Most of the main terms used in describing types of education in England have difficulties of definition, and this is true of the terms.Secondary and Technical. In particular, "Secondary Education" has had chaqges of connotation from time to time. For the purposes of this study, the terms are defined as following: "Secondary Education" is education of above elementary standard provided in schools established to supply it, or utilised for that purpose, while "Technical Education" is education with a technical bias, and above elementary standard, provided in schools devoted to that purpose for children of school age. The development of education in Leeds is a topic which is Important from the national, as well as the purely local, point of view. The distinguished historian of English Schools, A.F. Leach-'- has said: "In no psirt of the country can more ancient schools or schools with a more interesting history be found than in Yorkshire." 1. A.P. Leach, m the introduction to the t.w& Volumes of: "Early Yorkshire SchoolSj;^<jo^, ^.V, Vc\.l.^ The history of education 6h Leeds is as interesting in its own way, &s that of the County in which it lies. Indeed the development of Secondary Education in Leeds represents in microcosm the development of Secondary Education in England. Leeds has its ancient grammar schoolr whose roots lie in medieval times; in one of its townships was a Seventeenth Century foundation; it had one of the earliest schools to be established by a Mechanics' Institute for the teaching of modern subjects, and it had the first Day Preparatory Trades Schools in the country, forerunners of the Junior Technical Schools. The Eldon Decision, famous in the history of education, was the outcome of a law suit instigated by the governors of Leeds Grammar School. In the history of Secondary Education in Leeds can be traced; the various influences of the national scene, the changing economic and social conditions, the ways in which the old institutions adapted themselves as a result of these pressures, and the emergence of new types of schools. Such a local history reflects the national history of education and at the same time ttould illuminate it. The main aim of this thesis is to show the manner in which Secondary Education in Leeds developed between 1800 and 1907 into a system near its present form. It is hoped that it will show the bontributions made by the many sources from which the present system emerged. To this end, therefore, attention will be concentrated upon the various contributing movements, and forms Cixi) of Secondary Education, at the times when they were most influential. In order to do this, it will be necessary to explore over certain periods the histories of all the schools involved, but it is not intended that this thesis will be a complete history of these schools. The pattern of this study is outlined below; it has been so devised that each of the main national actions on education, and most of the important local innovations, occur during the periods selected. In particular, advantage is taken of the main Government enquiries into Charities and Secondary Education, for the light they throw/upon the local situation. It is hoped in this way to achieve the aims set down, and also to produce a coherent account of the growth of Secondary Education in Leeds. Throughout this study the policy concerning the selection of material has been to use in detail, so far as possible, only that which has not been drawn upon in the various school histories.

  • From Bramley to CERN: How People Like You Took Me Back 14 Billion Years
    From Bramley to CERN: How people like you took me back 14 billion years Dear Alum I’ve not invented a time machine, if that’s what you’re thinking. But I am one of a handful of people lucky enough to have studied physics at CERN, home to the Large Hadron Collider. Here, beams of protons are sent hurtling around a very long and incredibly Sam Gregson, PhD, former pupil of Leeds Grammar expensive pipe, then smashed into one another to recreate the conditions School that existed just after the big bang (around 13.7 billion years ago). Mind-blowing, isn’t it? At least, I think it is. I’ve always been fascinated by how things work, so the opportunity to work on my Cambridge University PhD at CERN, with some of the best particle physicists in the world, was a dream come true for me. But if it wasn’t for the bursary I received from Leeds Grammar School things would most likely have been very different for me. And that’s why I jumped at the chance to write this letter today and ask for your help. Will you give £50 to help fund bursaries at The Grammar School at Leeds and help pupils like me to reach their potential? Like you, I grew up in and around Leeds. I lived near Bramley with my mum, my brother and my late sister. We were a pretty normal working-class, single-parent family. I’d always assumed that after primary school I would go to the local comprehensive, so it came as a bit of a shock when my mum came in to my bedroom one day and said, “You have an exam tomorrow.” The Grammar School at Leeds There aren’t many 11-year-olds who like the idea of exams, but when she Alwoodley Gates explained what it meant in terms of opportunities, I was pretty happy to go Harrogate Road Leeds LS17 8GS along with it.

A MAN GOES OUT TO HIS WORK, AND TO HIS LABOUR UNTIL THE EVENING (Psalm 103) The morning of Charles Antony Tindall's life dawned in Bradford 93 years ago, born of a family, whose father's Yorkshire stock had remained true to the old Faith during the Reformation, and from whom he inherited that simple unquestioning loyalty to ALL the Church and Bishops taught, and, I think, a shrewdness and perceptiveness of his yeoman forebears; and from his Italian mother, a zest for life, an irrepressible gaiety, and a remarkable talent .for friendship.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.
