Newsletter 04 March Issue 5, May 2019 Dear Parents and Carers, This has been a very short but busy half term; one in which staff and students have been working extremely closely together to prepare for the GCSE and Post 16 examinations that are now upon us. It has been wonderful to see so many Year 11 students wearing their ‘Thumbs Up’ badges as a sign that they have been acknowledged by staff for their efforts at such a crucial time. It is also important to strike a balance at what can be quite a stressful period. To that end, Mr Youngs and some of the Sixth Form staff took Year 13 out to Milton Keynes for some downtime in the form of a trip to go bowling and to grab a little bit of a break from studying. I wish all our students well for the forthcoming examination period and I look forward to sharing their successes with them in August. I am delighted to announce that we have appointed Louise Baldwin as Deputy Headteacher - Curriculum and she will take up her post in September. Louise came through a rigorous two day selection process and I am very pleased with her appointment. She is currently Deputy Headteacher at The Hazeley Academy in Milton Keynes and she will be a real asset to the school and the Senior Leadership Team. In recent weeks, we have attracted some very important guests to the school. On Friday 3rd May we had a visit from John Bercow MP and Speaker of The House of Commons. Mr. Bercow came with a number of guests to look at our careers' provision and to see how we link with the Bucks Skills Hub. During his visit, he took part in a Question and Answer session with about fifty students from across the school which gave us a fascinating insight into his role and his career path. At The Cottesloe School, we are continually striving to improve how we prepare our students for their journey through education and into adulthood. It is so important that they can not only learn about the world we live in but also from it. On Friday 17th May, the school was privileged to host the BBC Radio 4 programme Any Questions? An audience of over 200 parents, students, staff and members of the local community, came together to participate in a lively debate chaired by Jonathan Dimbleby. A group of students got to meet the BBC crew, take a tour of the outside broadcast vehicle and have a Question and Answer session with the Chief Sound Engineer. A further group of students helped to make the evening a great success and Jonathan Dimbleby commented on how wonderfully articulate and engaging our students were. Thank you to all those involved, but especially to Miss Hawkes who orchestrated the whole event so efficiently. It was a privilege to host so many people from the local community. As a result, we have made stronger links with Ascott House, the local parish council and the church. It was also lovely to welcome back some previous members of staff who commented on how the school has retained its warm and welcoming feeling. Mr S Jones Headteacher Student Wellbeing at The Cottesloe School Last week we ran assemblies for Mental Health Awareness Week (13th – 19th May) and thought this was good timing to introduce our Wellbeing Officer to you. Mrs Brimmell joined The Cottesloe School in September as our first Wellbeing Officer, working alongside the LINC and Pastoral Team. With Mrs Brimmell and Mrs Kimber both now qualified E.L.S.A (Emotional Literacy Support Assistants) our provision for Wellbeing is continuing to grow. The initial delivery of Anxiety Workshops for some Year 11 students has been followed by Year 7 and 13 students, with support due to extend to Year 10 and 12 next month. Further support sessions, group work and Assemblies are all now in place to encourage our students in building their emotional skills. Summer 2 PSHCE Curriculum Over the next half term your child will be learning about the following in their PSHCE lessons. Year 7 Health & Wellbeing – Managing puberty and change Year 8 Wider World – The rule of Law Year 9 Relationships – Relationships and Sex Education Year 10 Health and Wellbeing – Developing First Aid skills National Volunteering Week 1st – 7th June 2019 When I was fourteen a friend asked if I’d like to come along to the St. John Ambulance Cadet unit she’d just joined.

It’s great to be able to give something back and able to develop key skills and help young people to have the same opportunities I did, but attributes for lifelong learning and volunteering has also given me some amazing opportunities and success in our ever changing world. experiences.

I enjoy seeing the students progress knowing that they achieve to their full potential. I also enjoy covering the different lessons within different departments as it involves using a wide range of knowledge. A lot of the time I enjoy talking with the students to see how they would like to achieve and go forward in the future. Favourite subject when you were at school, and why? I had a mix of different subjects I enjoyed. I used to like PE when at school and taking part in different sports including rugby, football, cricket, tennis and even badminton. I also enjoyed History where I was taught by our very own Mr S Wilson, who had, and still has the knack of getting the best out of every student and making the difference! What advice would you give your younger self? School days are the best days of your life! Do not waste the time drawing in class, playing around and being a menace! Who has been your biggest influence or inspiration? My biggest influence was my grandfather. He always taught me that life was worth living, no matter how many days drag you down there will always be plenty of good days ahead. He always said if you can’t do the miracle, then be the miracle, at the same time count your blessings! Inspirational Quote? “By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail” - Benjamin Franklin Last book you read? The last book I read was Brian Clough’s autobiography. To say he was the greatest England manager that we never had is an understatement. Not many people would have taken on Cloughie in his time as manager at Nottingham Forest. Yet would England have won the 2018 world cup with him at the helm in his prime? Probably! Tell us something about yourself that we don’t know: On my weekends I am a rugby referee.

  • In the Name of Humanity: Britain and the Rise of Global Humanitarianism
    In the Name of Humanity: Britain and the Rise of Global Humanitarianism By Tehila Sasson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Thomas W. Laqueur, Chair Professor James Vernon, Chair Professor Stefan Ludwig Hoffmann Professor Wendy L. Brown Fall 2015 Copyright © 2015 Tehila Sasson All rights reserved Abstract In the Name of Humanity: Britain and the Rise of Global Humanitarianism by Tehila Sasson Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Thomas W. Laqueur, Chair James Vernon, Chair This study examines how a new humanitarian community emerged in the late 1960s and why it came to act in the name of “humanity.” To realize the nature of this transformation, the study focuses on Britain and its relationship to more global forms of humanitarianism. In post-imperial Britain a new set of actors beyond the British state came to adopt humanitarian ethics. In a series of case studies, the study examines how humanitarianism mobilized a range of new historical actors who came to replace the imperial state, beginning with non-governmental activists and former military experts and expanding to include multinational corporations and ordinary people. Initially, post-imperial aid relied on imperial infrastructure and knowledge. In the 1960s, organizations such as Oxfam used former Imperial experts to manage and distribute global relief in places like Nigeria. Older imperial institutions like the British military became major respondents to disasters in the Sahel and South Asia. But the post- imperial landscape also included new, more business-minded actors.
