Summer 2020 Inside ASHVILLIAN SOCIETY UPDATE • ISSUE 69 • VSummerIL L 2020 H I A ISSUE S N A 69 S O Y UPDATE C E T SUMMER 2020 I INSIDE VE Day Remembered Meet the ‘Veep’ OA On Song for Charity THE ASHVILLE COMMUNITY MARKS VE DAY 75 OAS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF 75 YEARS AGO WHILST INSIDE WE DEVOTE THREE PAGES TO COMMEMORATING VE DAY. The coronavirus lockdown didn’t stop past Ashvillian Society President and former chemistry teacher, Donald Grayson and his wife Margaret, from celebrating the 75th anniversary of VE Day with a traditional English cream tea in his front garden. Donald’s Ashville teaching career spanned almost four decades and, in recognition of his years of service, he had the Grayson Chemistry Laboratory named in his honour. Since retirement from the classroom, Donald – whose Ashville lanyard identifies his job as ‘Senior School legend’ - has continued to work part-time in a number of different administrative roles, and, at the tender age of 81, is still an invigilator/scribe for exams at Ashville. Both Donald’s children are OAs - Richard Grayson (80-87) and also Helen, (82-89), who was amongst the first intake of girls and, like her father, a former Ashvillian Society President. 01 ASHVILLIAN SOCIETY UPDATE • ISSUE 69 • Summer 2020 WELCOME FROM THE EDITOR DAVID SIMISTER JULY 2020 Back in early February, myself and fellow Ashvillian Society officers met in Harrogate’s Fat Badger pub to discuss our plans for the coming year. The Spring committee meeting was just around the corner, and four days after we were looking forward to catching up with dozens of OAs at the London reunion. It was promising to be one of the best attended gatherings in a number of years. We were also looking further ahead to the Celebration Weekend; Speech Day, Summer Fair, AGM and an evening event on the Saturday for OAs, partners, staff and former staff members. However, a virus that no one had ever heard of, which originated in a distant Chinese city, put paid to everything we – and probably the rest of the world - had planned for 2020! But this pandemic, which forced the closure of the College, introduced us to the intricacies of Zoom video conferencing. It has meant that our AGM will not be held in the school library as planned, but online! Following on from December’s Winter Update, we are delivering the Summer Update as a digital publication; one that we hope you will enjoy reading and watching! To those Sixth Formers leaving Ashville this July, we welcome you to the Society. You will forever be an OA. We hope you will join us at future events and, if minded, take on one of the offices. I’d like to thank the Director of Marketing, Helen Stroud, and her team, plus all those OAs who have contributed to this edition. Without your memories, photographs, success stories and, I’m sad to say, obituaries, we wouldn’t have an Update. And finally, when ‘lockdown’ ends and social distancing is no more, we will meet again, not just in Harrogate, but in a number of locations across the UK to celebrate our association with Ashville College. Until then, ‘stay safe’, and we’ll see you when this is all over.

Founded in 1877, Ashville has a A MESSAGE FROM proud past, and an even brighter future ahead, yet our ethos and values remain loyal to our Methodist traditions, where each child is known and nurtured HEADMASTER AND within a caring, safe and supportive environment. HONORARY OA, Ashville has a clear focus on academic excellence, enabling our pupils to be prepared for life in an RICHARD MARSHALL increasingly complex world, without ever losing sight of the individual child, their own talents and their wider development. Our commitment to an inclusive education, where individuals are valued wherever their Dear OAs, talents lie, is at the heart of all we do. Instead of a written report, we have asked Headmaster Ashville is proud to develop young people who are “the Richard Marshall to record his report, which he has best versions of themselves”. We nurture and equip kindly done.

Richard Marshall Richard Marshall Headmaster Name: Beth Hartwell Headmaster Years at Ashville: 1999-2009 Esse quam videri Favourite Teacher: Mrs Fisher, my Maths A Level teacher Favourite Subject: Biology (which I now teach!) Fondest memory of Ashville: The relationships I made with my closest friends and the love of learning that was fostered. Where did life take you after leaving Ashville? After Ashville I went to Newcastle University and I studied Biology for three years, graduating with a first class honours degree. I then went to work in a research laboratory in London, specialising in genetics. What do you do now? I am currently an Assistant Headteacher in a large secondary school in York. I live in Harrogate and I am renovating a flat in the centre of town. 04 ASHVILLIAN SOCIETY UPDATE • ISSUE 69 • Summer 2020 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Greetings to all of the Ashville family, I am writing this update in splendid isolation FROM THE PRESIDENT in North Northumberland - where I live - becoming increasingly aware of my non- regulation collar length hair! Of course, for many individuals this has been a devastating time, in terms of having family members who have caught the virus and that is before the impact on the economy and the ability for people to travel freely. The health and wellbeing of people is the focus of both the State, individuals and organisations such as Ashville itself; as such it has been reassuring to see our Headmaster Richard Marshall and his senior management team handle themselves in such an excellent way in making huge changes in the face of emerging facts. As your Society President, I have the pleasure to be on the current school Governing Body and also the Committee looking after the Ashville Foundation. The Foundation is a fund of money to help parents and guardians who have suddenly hit hard times in relation to continuing to pay for school fees at Ashville; previously we have received just a few applications per year, usually due to an unexpected death or redundancy, but since Covid-19 we have seen up to 30 enquiries.

  • September 2012
    1 1 Monthly Performance Pack September 2012 Ian Walker, Publicist, BBC iPlayer BBC Communications 0770 388 6273 | [email protected] 2 2 Monthly summary headlines – September 2012 • Record-breaking 199 million BBC iPlayer requests in September– driven by an increase in radio requests, which grew +8% compared with the previous month. This is the highest ever number of requests per month. • Requests-per-week remained high in September (43 million average) and increased across the month, boosted by the start of the new TV autumn season. • Average daily requests reached a record 6 million programmes per day Across devices: • Mobile and tablet accounted for over a fifth of requests in September (21%). • TV platform operators (+22%) and games consoles (+16%) saw the highest growth in requests. By demographic: • The gender profile reached an even balance of male/female for the first time in Q2 2012 and a record 23% of requests by audiences over the age of 55 Popular content: • The start of the new TV season saw the first episode of Doctor Who Series 7 deliver the highest number of requests for a single programme (2.2m), and all 5 episodes featured in the top 10. Citizen Khan along with documentaries such as Panaroma and Andrew Marr’s A History of the World also performed strongly this month. • On radio, the final episode of the Chris Moyles Show topped radio requests this month (427k), whilst sports coverage of Andy Murray winning the The US Open and Team Europe winning The Ryder Cup also proved popular. Consistent with previous months: • The profile of BBC iPlayer users has evened out over time in terms of male/female ratio, but remains strongly under-55 in terms of age, which is younger than the typical TV viewer or radio listener’s profile (although more in line with home broadband users).
