  • Local Educational Authorities
    SESC, December 2018 Local Educational Authorities Key to understanding the shape of post-1944 British education is the principle of a ‘national system, locally administered’.1 Historians of education have long stressed the foundational tripartite relationship between central government, Local Education Authorities [LEAs], and schools that made mass secondary education possible.2 This framework was not a product of the 1944 Act but reflected the deliberate intention for post-war secondary education to be built upon structures and expertise that had grown-up during the first half of the century.3 Even if some hoped the 1944 Act would allow the newly created Ministry of Education (which replaced the Board of Education) to exercise greater control and direction over national education policy, practical realities meant that mass secondary education depended upon a ‘harmonious relationship’ built upon cooperation.4 While the Secretary of State was charged with promoting ‘the education of the people of England and Wales and the progressive development of institutions devoted to that purpose’, LEAs assumed responsibility for the delivery of national policy at a local level. This structure meant the UK had the most devolved education system in Europe for much of the twentieth century and goes a long to explaining the highly variable nature of schooling not only across the country but often within individual counties or cities. Importantly, a focus upon the role of LEAs in shaping educational reform after the Second World War disrupts entrenched chronologies that pivot largely on reforms made at the national level, and subsequently separate the period into neat phases of tripartite, comprehensive, and marketization.

  • Discovering History and Conservation in Didsbury: East Didsbury, Didsbury St
    Exploring Greater Manchester a fieldwork guide Edited by Cathy Delaney Exploring Greater Manchester 23 Discovering history and conservation in Didsbury: East Didsbury, Didsbury St. James Conservation Area Ian Douglas, Maureen Douglas and Nigel Lawson School of Environment, Education and Development, The University of Manchester [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Aims: This walk uses the evidence of the built environment and urban greenspaces to illuminate cultural, demographic, economic and social changes over time. Didsbury village has long been regarded as a highly desirable residential suburb, but its last 150 years have been dominated by the influence of two major institutions, the former educational training college and the Shirley Institute, whose sites have been redeveloped since 1990. Today Didsbury has an exuberant, dynamic openness which surpasses that found in many of the other affluent suburbs in the deep south of Greater Manchester. The walk examines the key features of the Conservation area, particularly its listed buildings, and recent changes to it. It reveals the vestiges of the original hamlet; the late Victorian splendour of the homes of key entrepreneurs and civic leaders; the influence of the coming of railways; the important key open spaces that provide varied wildlife habitats and recreational opportunities; and the early twenty-first transformation of the village centre and the sites of former institutions. Starting point: Didsbury Village Metrolink Station. (This is also the starting point for the walk covering West Didsbury and Albert Park which is also in the Exploring Greater Manchester series). Estimated Time: 2 hours Further information: This walk is based on the pre-COVID-19 situation.

  • Current Notes Cassini Legacy Special September 2018
    I Current Notes Cassini Legacy Special September 2018 Current Notes September 2018 Manchester Astronomical Society Introduction After two decades in space, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft reached the end of its remarkable journey of exploration. Having expended almost every bit of the rocket propellant Cassini carried to Saturn, operators deliberately plunged the spacecraft into the planet to ensure Saturn’s moons will remain pristine for future exploration in particular, the ice-covered, ocean-bearing moon Enceladus, but also Titan, with its intriguing pre-biotic chemistry. Beginning in 2010, Cassini began a seven-year mission extension in which it completed many moon flybys while observing seasonal changes on Saturn and Titan. The plan for this phase of the mission was to expend all of the spacecraft’s propellant while exploring Saturn, ending with a plunge into the planet’s atmosphere. In April 2017, operators placed Cassini on an impact course that unfolded over five months of daring dives with a series of 22 orbits that each passed between the planet and its rings. Called the Grand Finale, this final phase of the mission brought unparalleled observations of the planet and its rings from closer than ever before. On 15th September 2017, the spacecraft made its final approach to the giant planet Saturn. But this encounter was like no other. This time, Cassini dived into the planet’s atmosphere, sending science data for as long as it’s small thrusters could keep the spacecraft’s antenna pointed at Earth. Soon after, Cassini burned up and disintegrated like a meteor. To its very end, Cassini was a mission of thrilling exploration.

  • The RNCM: Celebrating 40 Years
    THE RNCM Celebrating 40 years Our music colleges need to present a public face, for it is obvious that the training of performers cannot be done in purdah, but few are as successful as the Royal Northern College of Music in creating a year-round schedule of events available to all. Without the RNCM, Manchester’s musical life would be drastically curtailed: it ranks with Bridgewater Hall as the city’s classical performance centre. No college has such a role in London… Paul Driver The Sunday Times Thomas Pitfield, Professor of Harmony and Counterpoint at the RMCM and for the first year at the RNCM, wrote at the laying of the foundation stone: Two die, and one is born, Hail and farewell; Let mourning organ swell And heralding trumpets play: The best Tomorrow has its roots In Yesterday. 2 1 3 MUSICAL FUSION A History of the RNCM 4 by Michael Kennedy 5 #rncm40 5 MICHAEL KENNEDY, FORMER CHIEF MUSIC CRITIC AND NORTHERN EDITOR OF THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, HAS BEEN PART OF THE FABRIC OF THE RNCM SINCE ITS INAUGURATION FOUR DECADES AGO.

  • A Tale of Two Cities: Global Change, Local Feeling and Everyday Life In
    A TALE OF TWO CITIES The future of cities cannot be understood in terms only of the emergence of the post-modern metropole. A large proportion of citizens of Western society will continue for many years to inhabit the old industrial conurbations—from the rust belt in the United States to the originating centres of the English industrial revolution—and will experience contemporary economic and social change in those locations. A Tale of Two Cities is a study of two such cities in the North of England, Manchester and Sheffield, and of the texture of every-day life within them. It explores the hopes and fears, the memories and folk-beliefs, and the present pre-occupations of young professionals, the unemployed, children and young people, the elderly and ethnic minorities and gay people in these two cities. It offers a detailed sociological analysis of two defining activities of life—shopping and daily travel and transport. The book draws on an international range of theory from Raymond Williams to John Logan and Harvey Molotch to identify and interpret the trajectory of change and development in different old industrial cities. And it provides a series of connected essays on the meaning of different levels of crime and levels of fear in different cities, on begging and homelessness in the city, on the demonisation of racialised enclaves, and on women’s adaptive strategies; as well as an investigation of urban redevelopment and extended enquiry into the different futures available to post-Fordist cities in the North of England and in similar regions elsewhere in the world.
