International High School Arts Festival Competition 2021 Information Pack Background International High School Arts Festival Competition 2021 Information Pack Background: The International High School Arts Festival in Japan is an event for secondary school aged pupils between 15-18 years of age, to show the world their artistic talent. The Festival is sponsored by the International Foundation for Arts and Culture (IFAC). Mr Haruhisa Handa is chairman of IFAC and a sponsor of Lambeth Academy. In each participating country an art competition is held, to establish a national representative. The representative wins an all-expenses paid trip to Japan with a guardian to see his or her artwork displayed in the National Art Centre, Tokyo, one of Tokyo's most highly regarded exhibition sites. Three runners-up will have their work exhibited alongside the winner's and receive an art kit. United Learning remains the sole representative from the UK. We are, therefore, in the privileged position of being able to select the national representative from within our Group each year. We were invited to submit art from around the schools for the first time in 2008, and over the years we have had winners from Lambeth Academy, Guildford High School, AKS, Lincoln Minster School, Kettering Buccleuch Academy, and Ashford School. Guidelines for submission of work: • Art works should be drawings or paintings (e.g. oil, acrylic, watercolour), 2D mixed media, or calligraphy; • No photographs or sculptures are permitted; • There is no theme for the work • Artwork must only be created by one individual, collaborations are not permitted. • Students must be aged between 15 and 18 years old on April 1st 2021, and still pupils at the entering school • Please consider that these pieces will have to be transported to Japan – very fragile pieces cannot be accepted; • Size of artworks: a maximum of 100 cm x 100 cm including any frame; • Only one submission is allowed per student. • You may not submit coursework pieces which will be used in current exam portfolios How to Enter: Submit entries on the Hub by filling out the form and uploading a high resolution photo. All artworks must be submitted before Tuesday 16th February at 9am 1 of 3 Judging: Judging will take place in four stages. 1. All submissions will be photographed and posted onto dedicated Facebook and Instagram pages. Staff, students and members of the general public will be able to 'Like' their favourite submissions. This will count for 25% of the final score given to each piece. 2. United Learning Executive Team and Art teachers across the group will have their own vote. This will count for 25% of the final score. 3. A panel of independent artists will be invited to an online judging and discussion of the artwork, providing feedback and comments. The artist will also rank their top 10 pieces according to their artistic merit. This will make up the final 50% of the final score. The winner and the three runners-up will be decided from this process. The results will be announced on Wednesday 3rd March. Schedule: Tuesday 16th February Deadline for entries Tuesday 16th February – 3rd March Voting Wednesday 3rd March The winning artist and three runners-up announced via email and social media. Artworks posted to Japan 3rd March – 18th March Winners' travel arrangements made W/c 2nd August The winner and their guardian will travel to Japan Wednesday 4th August Awards Ceremony in Tokyo The winner’s prize: terms and conditions The winning student (the pupil with the highest cumulative score) will be invited to travel to Tokyo with a guardian to take part in the Festival and attend the Awards Ceremony at the National Art Centre, Tokyo.

  • DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning
    DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning unitedlearning.org.uk WELCOME LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Thank you very much for expressing interest in becoming a Deputy Director - North with United Learning. United Learning sets out to provide all children and young people with a broad and deep education which prepares them to succeed in life. We were founded 130 years ago to provide education for girls when it was in short supply, and the independent schools which started the Group remain an important part of it today. In the last 15 years, we have become one of the biggest academy groups in the country – still focusing on the original aims of the academy programme – turning around poor schools serving poor communities. As Deputy Director – North, you will have a central role in raising standards in our schools across the north. We are determined to raise attainment and ensure that children make exceptional progress. But we do not want this to be at the expense of a broad education, and are determined that all our schools offer a wide range of opportunities within and outside the classroom, developing character as well as intellect. So we are looking for a leader who shares our strong educational values, who has the highest expectations and who achieves great results but does so by putting children rather than performance indicators first. You will have a track record of success as a leader in secondary education, have the personal energy and confidence to raise standards working through other leaders and be effective in developing others and building teams.

  • Vanderbilt-Thecarrols.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION “Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” Named after Lewis Carroll, one of Guildford’s most revered residents, The Carrolls is an exclusive development of just four townhouses and ten apartments. Boasting an unwavering attention to detail and a prime location, moments from Guildford’s picturesque town centre and railway station, The Carrolls is the embodiment of Vanderbilt Homes’ belief in putting exceptional quality at the heart of every home. OVERVIEW “You would have to be half mad to dream me up.” The fantastical world Lewis Carroll created was a masterful journey of the imagination. A much loved counter to the trials of everyday life. The Carrolls elegantly captures this feeling. Beautifully designed and attentively finished, each of the properties within the development represents a harmonious escape from the pressures of modern life. These are homes in the truest sense.
