  • From Bramley to CERN: How People Like You Took Me Back 14 Billion Years
    From Bramley to CERN: How people like you took me back 14 billion years Dear Alum I’ve not invented a time machine, if that’s what you’re thinking. But I am one of a handful of people lucky enough to have studied physics at CERN, home to the Large Hadron Collider. Here, beams of protons are sent hurtling around a very long and incredibly Sam Gregson, PhD, former pupil of Leeds Grammar expensive pipe, then smashed into one another to recreate the conditions School that existed just after the big bang (around 13.7 billion years ago). Mind-blowing, isn’t it? At least, I think it is. I’ve always been fascinated by how things work, so the opportunity to work on my Cambridge University PhD at CERN, with some of the best particle physicists in the world, was a dream come true for me. But if it wasn’t for the bursary I received from Leeds Grammar School things would most likely have been very different for me. And that’s why I jumped at the chance to write this letter today and ask for your help. Will you give £50 to help fund bursaries at The Grammar School at Leeds and help pupils like me to reach their potential? Like you, I grew up in and around Leeds. I lived near Bramley with my mum, my brother and my late sister. We were a pretty normal working-class, single-parent family. I’d always assumed that after primary school I would go to the local comprehensive, so it came as a bit of a shock when my mum came in to my bedroom one day and said, “You have an exam tomorrow.” The Grammar School at Leeds There aren’t many 11-year-olds who like the idea of exams, but when she Alwoodley Gates explained what it meant in terms of opportunities, I was pretty happy to go Harrogate Road Leeds LS17 8GS along with it.

He has been kind enough to allow its reproduction, and for this we are greatly indebted to him. A MAN GOES OUT TO HIS WORK, AND TO HIS LABOUR UNTIL THE EVENING (Psalm 103) The morning of Charles Antony Tindall's life dawned in Bradford 93 years ago, born of a family, whose father's Yorkshire stock had remained true to the old Faith during the Reformation, and from whom he inherited that simple unquestioning loyalty to ALL the Church and Bishops taught, and, I think, a shrewdness and perceptiveness of his yeoman forebears; and from his Italian mother, a zest for life, an irrepressible gaiety, and a remarkable talent .for friendship.

  • Whole School Director of Sport and Wellbeing
    APPOINTMENT OF Whole School Director of Sport and Wellbeing September 2020 The Grammar School at Leeds The Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL) is a unique school. It was created through the merger in 2008 of two prominent schools (Leeds Grammar School and Leeds Girls’ High School), on a new site at Alwoodley Gates on the northern edge of the city. The move to this site will be completed in September 2020, when the nursery and pre-prep department, Rose Court, relocates from its current home in Headingley to the Alwoodley Gates site. The school operates a diamond model, with girls and boys educated in single sex classes from 11–16. It is one of the largest independent schools in the country, with a total roll of over 2,000. GSAL enjoys all the advantages of a large, modern, purpose-built campus which is spacious and generously equipped. Sport at GSAL GSAL has a history of success in competitive sport. School teams regularly reach national finals in netball, rugby and hockey and have won a number of national titles, in addition to local and regional success in a range of sports. GSAL’s netball teams have won 11 national titles since the 2008 merger, and in 2012 the U15 rugby team won the Daily Mail Cup. There is a large staff of dedicated PE teachers who contribute significantly to co-curricular sport. They are supplemented by many classroom teachers who choose to coach sports teams, and by full and part time specialist coaches. The school has close relationships with elite sports organisations in West Yorkshire, including Leeds Rhinos Netball, Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Yorkshire Carnegie Rugby.
