Royal SpringBoard Impact Report We are proud to have been included as a case study in the recently published Royal SpringBoard Impact Report, which provides evidence to show that the opportunity of a boarding school education can be genuinely life-transforming for disadvantaged and vulnerable children. We have worked with the Royal National Children’s SpringBoard Foundation for over a decade. Not only has the charity helped us to identify suitable candidates for our Life-Changing Bursary Scheme, but it has also worked with us to offer pastoral support to them and their families outside of term time. Ten years on, our focus is now firmly on raising these children’s aspirations even higher and working with 8-13 schools on a joint programme to give support to children over a much more substantial period of time. www.royalspringboard.org.uk We are delighted to launch our new suite of websites. This has been a twelve month project to deliver sites for Oundle, LJS and the new Sports Centre, as well as sub-sites for The Oundle Society, OO Club and Oundle School Enterprises. Working in conjunction with a specialist web agency, we have taken care to develop the sites with prospective parents in mind and to capture the essence of each School. They feature beautiful photography, almost all captured by our School Photographer and pupils. For current parents, news, term dates, calendar events and sports fixtures remain prominent web pages, with the parent portal accessible from the main menu. www.oundleschool.org.uk 2 INTRODUCTION SPOTLIGHT ON STEM Gordon Montgomery, Head of Community Partnerships STEM Potential Since 2014, Oundle has been developing links with Imperial College London, one of the UK’s leading universities focusing exclusively on Science, Medicine and Business, and one of only three UK institutions to be ranked in the top ten worldwide. As we seek to create more opportunities through the Oundle, Peterborough and East Northants (OPEN) Learning Partnership, we have found a natural ally in Imperial and are pleased to welcome it as the first university member of our formal group. Given Imperial’s STEM focus, SciTec and the Patrick Engineering Centre form the cornerstone of this partnership. A year ago, Oundle launched its own version of the university’s STEM Potential programme, aimed at supporting young people from maintained sector schools with capability in STEM disciplines through their GCSE and A level years, specifically, helping them apply to high tariff universities in Science, Medicine and Engineering. Pupils on the programme attend workshops and masterclasses at Oundle on Saturday mornings every Half Term, as well as Science lectures and events. A week is also spent on a Summer School, which includes an industry visit and a day at the Wohl Reach Out Lab in London. We look forward to emulating the programme’s success in London and to increasing the impact which we can make in our local area. This is just one of the many facets of our partnership with Imperial College London and indeed, of our Science outreach programme in general. Going forward, we hope to reach out to many more young people and to build on the benefits of our links with such a top tier university. STEM Visit We are fortunate in having a Design Technology the workshop tour, we were taken to the depot: a real-life and Engineering department that is very good at working environment with four trains currently being persuading high-profile companies to let its pupils serviced or refurbished. Although the trains may appear have a look around their facilities. This time it was the old on the outside, they are regularly refurbished, giving turn of Siemens at the National Rail Training Academy them a longer lifespan than you may expect. This visit in Northampton. We started off the tour by being provided many useful experiences and I would recommend shown around the mock workshop, with practical anyone interested in a future in engineering or computing demonstrations of various parts of a train, from a toilet to take part in these trips. door to a pantograph. Given all the redundancies, I found it interesting how complex everything must William Stairs (L) be to ensure safe operation for the millions of people who use the rail networks in the UK and abroad. After 3 ACADEMIC 2019 Great Read This year’s Great Read, an opportunity for everyone to share the same book and join in the discussion in the classroom and beyond, was distributed to pupils and staff in time for take-home reading over the Half Term. The books selected for four different reading year groups included: The Skylarks’ War by Hilary McKay, The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo, My Name is Leon by Kit de Waal and Educated by Tara Westover. Many participated in the annual Great Read photo diary, taking their books far and wide and submitting photos of themselves reading in unusual places or by well-known landmarks, from Berlin, Moscow and Rome to Niagara Falls, Kenya and Hong Kong. Up, Up and Away Ten schools competed in the second annual Balloon Debate Competition for First and Second Form pupils, organised by the Oundle Debating Society in conjunction with the OPEN Learning Partnership. Each competitor was required to give a speech in character, justifying why they should remain in a sinking balloon. The theme for this year’s debate was ‘Explorers’, and the lucky audience heard a series of marvellous speeches from a wide range of intrepid and notable characters. We fielded two excellent candidates, Leo Marsden (Sco) as James Beckwourth and Benjamin Young (Sco) as Junko Tabei. Twenty competitors were narrowed down to three worthy finalists by an audience vote. Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Ellen MacArthur and Ferdinand Magellan − also known as George Sloan of Catmose College, Shanaya Jasinarachchi of Spratton Hall and Oliver Bennett of Prince William School respectively − extolled the virtues of their explorers, attempting to persuade the adjudicators with impressive rhetorical flourishes and charismatic performances. In the end, the adjudicators selected Ellen MacArthur as the winning candidate, meaning Shanaya Jasinarachchi took the balloon shaped trophy home. The audience vote went to Oliver Bennett of PWS. The quality of performances and the content of the speeches were remarkable across the board, with the debate not only allowing our pupils’ imaginations to soar, but also providing them with an opportunity to perform alongside their peers in what is, undoubtedly, a challenging space. Geographical Association’s Worldwise Quiz Congratulations to the A team, Boris Ostin (Ldr), William Crane (Ldr) and Robert Brettle (B), who won the South Lincolnshire Geographical Association’s Worldwise Quiz, hosted at Stamford School. They scored particularly highly in the country anagram round and soon became renowned for their sprint to the judges' table after each round to hand in their answers! The B team, Matthew Brayshaw (G), Stephen Ogunmwonyi (B) and Flora Mardon (L), also did a superb job, coming fourth. 4 ACADEMIC SPOTLIGHT ON Work Experience Work experience is an important strand of our extensive careers programme. This edition, three pupils describe their work experience and the impact it had upon them.

  • The IR35 MP Hit List ­ the 100 Politicians Most Likely to Lose Their Seats
    The UK's leading contractor site. 200,000 monthly unique visitors. GUIDES IR35 CALCULATORS BUSINESS INSURANCE BANKING ACCOUNTANTS INSURANCE MORTGAGES PENSIONS RESOURCES FREE IR35 TEST The IR35 MP hit list ­ The 100 politicians most likely to lose their seats Last December research conducted by ContractorCalculator identified the MPs for whom it will prove most costly to lose the self­employed vote, and published the top 20 from each party. The results were based on data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and contractor sentiment indicated by a previous ContractorCalculator survey. The full results of this research are now published, with the top 100 MPs, ordered by risk of losing their seat, due to the Off­payroll (IR35) reforms that Treasury, HMRC and the Chancellor are attempting to push through Parliament. In total, 85 MPs hold a majority in Parliament that would feasibly be overturned if the expected turnout of IR35­opposing self­employed voters from their constituency were to vote against them, and we list the next 15, making 100 in total, that are potentially under threat if the self­ employed voter turnout is higher than expected. "This single piece of damaging policy could prove catastrophic for all parties involved, not least the Tories, who make up 43% of the at­risk seats,” comments ContractorCalculator CEO, Dave Chaplin. “There is also potentially a lot to gain for some, but those in precarious positions will have to act swiftly and earnestly to win over contractors’ trust.” How we identified the at­risk MPs The research leveraged the data and compared the MPs majority at the last election with the likely number of self­employed voters in their area who would turn out and vote against them.

  • January 2019
    January 2019 This is the eighth update shedding light on what catches the eye in and around Westminster and its satellite community of advisers, think tanks and hangers on. Some of this may have been captured in the headlines and other stuff. Views my own but an acknowledgement that everyone is working hard in a challenging political environment and bad- tempered world….and one last thing, the first edition of 2019 can’t possibly be a Brexit-free zone. Lisa Hayley-Jones Director, Political and Business Relations BVCA Key Political Dates Theresa May ended 2018 with a staggering 20 hours plus at the dispatch box since the Brexit deal was agreed on November 14. Will she smash this record in the weeks ahead with the PM delivering Monday Brexit statements at the despatch box 6 out of the 7 last sitting Mondays. Talking of broken records, following the Prime Minister’s massive Commons defeat over the Brexit deal, many media outlets reported on the 230-vote Commons defeat was the worst suffered by any British Prime Minister in modern political history. It means May’s place in the history books is now assured, having smashed Labour PM Ramsay MacDonald’s previous record (a 166 vote-defeat back in 1924) by almost 40%. Theresa May will bring her Brexit Plan B to the House of Commons on Tuesday 29 January. All Brexit legislation, including the Second Reading of the Immigration Bill has been halted. The vote, next Tuesday, will mark eight weeks until the UK exits the European Union, with only 30 scheduled House of Commons sitting days left until the end of March to ensure all the necessary legislation has gone through.

    WRITE: Tom Pursglove CENCA, Cottingham Road TOM Corby Northants, NN17 1SZ PURSGLOVE EMAIL: [email protected] CALL: 01536 200255 LISTENING TO CORBY AND EAST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE Mr Gavin Ferries Planning Services Corby Borough Council Deene House New Post Office Square Corby NORTHANTS, NN17 1GD Via email to: [email protected] 28th March 2014 Dear Mr Ferries, RE: PLANNING APPLICATION 14/00094/OUT. The issue of this planning application, and the development of up to 75 dwellings on land off Bury Close, has been raised very regularly with me as part of my Listening to Corby and East Northamptonshire Campaign, not only in survey responses, but also in recent weeks, when the Listening Team have knocked on every door in Cottingham. I also understand that both Cottingham Parish Council and Middleton Parish Council are opposed to this scheme. I am therefore writing to object to this application on the following grounds: Local Housing Need: I understand that the applicant has produced no evidence of housing need from within the local community and the most current data available from the 2009 Cottingham Parish Plan and a 2011 Housing Needs Survey carried out in Middleton, indicate little or no requirement for additional housing for local community needs. In Corby Borough itself, there are already a huge number of new homes consented and being built – there is no need for villages such as Cottingham and Middleton to be subjected to unwanted overdevelopment, which has the potential to dramatically alter the nature of the village and greatly strain its infrastructure. Traffic: One of the most pressing concerns raised with me is the issue of traffic levels as a result of additional development – essentially, the impact upon both Cottingham and Middleton would be severe.

  • Kings Cliffe Parish Council
    KINGS CLIFFE PARISH COUNCIL The monthly meeting of the Parish Council was held on 11th March 2021 at 7.30 pm by video conference due to the Local Authorities (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority Meetings) (England) Regulations 2020. Neil Gilliver, Development Services Manager for Northamptonshire Rural Housing Association discussed his proposals with the Parish Council to develop 10 affordable homes for local connection on ENDC owned land off Millwood Way in Kings Cliffe. The proposal relates to developing land off Millwood way for a 100% affordable homes development comprising 10 homes which would include:- 2 x 1-bed maisonettes, 6 x 2-bed houses, 2 x 3-bed houses. The homes would be in line with the latest East Northants Housing Register housing needs data for Kings Cliffe and we would propose an S106 agreement for the homes which would enable them to be allocated to those in need with a qualifying local connection. Given the topographical and ecological challenges of the site, we have sought pre-planning application advice form ENDC which suggests that we have improved the layout (as attached) and addressed much of the concerns that were apparent when a previous application was considered and refused for the site. 20/206 Declarations of Interest: None 20/207 Present: Chairman A Howard, Vice-Chairman M Day, G Smid, D Balmer, R Brown, J Atkinson, T Copeland, M Wharton and 7 members of the public attended. 20/208 Apologies for Absence: Cllr’s N Woore, R Meadows & D Gilbert 20/209 Chairman’s Report: None th 20/210 Minutes of the Meeting held on 11 February 2021 Proposed: Councillor: R Brown Seconded: Councillor: M Day th Minutes of the Meeting held on 24 February 2021 Doctors Surgery Poll Result Proposed: Councillor: D Balmer Seconded: Councillor: T Copeland 20/211 Any Matters Arising: 20/102 Standing Orders – Revision - Response received from MP Tom Pursglove regarding Declarations of Interest/Requests to Speak: He has written to Rt.
