  • Esorg-Roll-Of-Honour
    EASTBOURNE COLLEGE The Memorial Building ROLL OF HONOUR 1914 –18 The Memorial Panels IN MEMORIAM They will always be remembered. Although now beyond the range of living memory, the Great War is the unforgettable ground of modern life. To begin with, it may have looked like another in a series of European wars – the Napoleonic, the Crimean, the Austro-Prussian, the Franco-Prussian – but the effects of this 20th-century war were to shake nations as far away as the United States, India, Australia and New Zealand. Thrown into chaos, the world was changed forever by a war without precedent. Everything from the material and economic to the metaphysical and the psychological was disrupted. A generation was sacrificed. History and geography were dislocated. The values and rules of Western civilization were thrown in question. Men lost faith in the ability to shape or even understand their destiny. Instead they found themselves components of a machine running out of control. New fears stalked the ‘collective unconscious’ (a phrase coined in English in 1917). These huge changes were the sum of millions of individual devastations such as those documented, a century on, in this Roll of Honour. As we know, scarcely any family, village or school was unaffected by personal tragedy, but we must try to remember, too, that each of these names was a son, a promising hope, a beloved, a fellow member of a house or team, a shy or quirky or ambitious youngster, a pupil, a friend. Look at men in the photographs. Some clearly belong to another age, but others might just have walked off College Field.

  • The Bridge Curriculum the Bridge Curriculum
    A curriculum for Years 7, 8 and 9 The Bridge Curriculum THE BRIDGE CURRICULUM Introduction The Bridge Curriculum is an exciting new initiative which aims to combine the best aspects of the Common Entrance syllabus with the National Curriculum and other programmes of study to create a pathway of learning that is exciting, dynamic and more effective in preparing pupils for the demands of GCSE and beyond. It has been created in recognition of the following points: • The majority of senior schools are now testing and/or offering Year 9 places when pupils are in Year 6 and so the Common Entrance exams are not as relevant as they once were. • For the majority of senior schools, Common Entrance is merely a confirmation of what is already known and is mainly used for setting purposes. This can be achieved very effectively by other means. • Although there are some merits in the Common Entrance process, in many subjects the syllabus is restrictive and means that, in Year 8 in particular, there is a large focus on exam preparation rather than on the knowledge and skills which we want children to gain. Entrance exams at the end of Year 8. For those children who will be sitting However, as the curriculum does broadly Academic Scholarships to senior schools, • Exams, and the pressures that go with cover the requirements set out in the they will follow the Bridge Curriculum them, tend to dominate Year 7 and 8 Common Entrance Syllabus as well as in Year 7 but then, in Year 8, they will when this does not need to be case.

  • COVID-19) Is Very Low and There Are Negative Health Impacts of Being out of School
    from Tom Lawson MA (Oxon), Headmaster 6 July 2020 Dear Parents, Pupils and Staff, We are delighted to say that, at last, we have had the guidance for September that allows us to confirm definitively the return to school of all years in September. (Quotations from the guidance are in italic script.) The risk to children themselves of becoming severely ill from coronavirus (COVID-19) is very low and there are negative health impacts of being out of school... Given the improved position, the balance of risk is now overwhelmingly in favour of children returning to school. For the vast majority of children, the benefits of being back in school far outweigh the very low risk from coronavirus (COVID-19). As has been the case at St Andrew’s Prep throughout the summer term as pupil numbers have increased, a suite of measures will be in place to reduce the risk of transmission during the school day. Over the next month we will be working out the details and conducting a thorough risk assessment to support the measures we put in place. To keep pupils as safe as possible we will employ a: ‘system of controls’, building on the hierarchy of protective measures that have been in use throughout the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. When implemented in line with a revised risk assessment, these measures create an inherently safer environment for children and staff where the risk of transmission of infection is substantially reduced… the way different schools implement some of the requirements will differ based on their individual circumstances.
