Leadership Likes Leadership Likes “It is never too late to be what you might have been” George Eliot This quote is an apt one for Croydon High as one of our houses was named after George Eliot. However, it is not one which is universally accurate. I am fairly sure that I have left it too late to be an Olympic gymnast. But I am in my 40s so it is probably a lot more appropriate for our students. My assembly this week had a similar theme. I introduced four GDST alumnae to our students, pointing out that despite their huge success in four very different fields, none of them knew that this was their plan when at school. Netflix hit show The Crown stars Olivia Colman as The Queen. Olivia attended Norwich High. The Crown also, incidentally, stars a second GDST alumnae, Helena Bonham Carter, who went to South Hampstead. Two ex-pupils from our family of schools in the cast of the Netflix flagship show! But like Helena’s character, Princess Margaret, Ms Bonham Carter will be playing second fiddle here as I focus on Olivia Colman. Colman is currently the darling of British television. One might imagine, looking at her CV now, that she was a precocious child, always performing, maybe securing a drama scholarship to Norwich High. But the reality is quite different. Sarah Caroline Olivia Sinclair was not any of these things. She did not even take part in any serious extra-curricular drama until she auditioned ‘on a whim’ for the school play aged 16. Drama as a career was not an ambition and she headed off to university to study teaching. It was at university in a drama society that she met her fellow Peep Show creators and started to think of acting as a viable career choice for the first time. The Olivia Colman we now know was not born a star. She evolved, one experience at a time. Susie Ma was always interested in economics, but in Year 9 she moved not only school but country. As a bright and hard-working student, with encouragement and support from staff right here at Croydon High, she had ambitions to head to university and throw her hat into the EVERY GIRL - E V E RY DAY 18 September 2020 ring of graduate-entry schemes for some of the big names. While here, she was encouraged to get some hands-on business experience and headed up her Young Enterprise team. Having got the selling bug, she moonlighted in Sixth Form, running a small natural skincare business, selling her products at the weekend in Greenwich Market so successfully that she self-funded at university. On achieving her A grades in Maths, Economics and Fine Art, she fulfilled her ambition of studying Philosophy and Economics at UCL and heading into investment banking. But after a few years, she realised her passion lay in working for herself. Taking her Sixth Form experience selling natural skincare and the skills and knowledge she had gained in banking, she re-formed her company. Not simply saving for university anymore, she needed investment and applied to The Apprentice. Coming second in the competition, she impressed Alan Sugar sufficiently to secure that investment. Tropic Skincare is a huge success and she even made the Forbes 30 under 30 list. While at Oxford High, Cressida Dick had no ambitions of being the highest-ranking female officer in the UK Police Force and the first woman to lead the Metropolitan Police. In fact, she headed to university to study Agriculture and Forestry. But when she did decide the she would like to join the force, she took all the confidence that Oxford High had encouraged, every skill acquired, and the non-conforming attitude that had led her to study Agriculture rather than more traditional subjects, and applied them to her new challenge. Larissa Kennedy was perhaps aiming at something close to what she is currently doing. But she is only 22. I doubt she knows exactly where she will be at Olivia Colman’s age of 44. Always interested in activism, she used opportunities both here at Croydon High and through the Girl Guides to understand and practise advocating for change. Once at the University of Warwick, she joined the Student Union. In 2017, she was featured in the ‘Future 100’ list of the most EVERY GIRL - E V E RY DAY 18 September 2020 influential women at a UK university. On a sabbatical year from reading Politics, International Studies and Hispanic Studies, she took on the role of Advocacy & Campaigns Officer at Plan International. She was elected to the British Youth Council’s trustee board in 2017, and to the Executive Council of the National Union of Students in 2019. She was nominated twice and awarded once ‘Black Student of the Year’ by the NUS during her time at university. She became president of the NUS this year and her confident and articulate criticism of the ‘results algorithm’ contributed in no small part to the U- turn, which our now Lower Sixth and our Upper Sixth leavers benefitted from. These incredibly successful GDST alumnae can teach us something about putting George Eliot’s words into action. They teach us that students should not worry about the plan and focus on making a plan. A plan gives us motivation, purpose and focus, but it allows us flexibility to grow and change in a way that the plan may not. This should reassure those who feel that everyone around them has a fixed plan apart from them. And it should remind those who do not to stop looking left and right to see what other options are out there and never stop trying new things. The stories of these women also teach us something about doing things your own way. At Croydon High, and in the Sixth Form particularly, there is no one way to succeed. Students should not be afraid to express who they really are. Olivia Colman, Susie Ma, Cressida Dick and Larissa Kennedy span more than three decades and have achieved very different types of success. But as well as building the foundations for that success within the GDST, they also have in common that they have not conformed. They have gone their own way. I hope that our current students do the same. Mrs Sophie Bradshaw Deputy Head (Sixth Form and Operations) EVERY GIRL - E V E RY DAY 18 September 2020 .

  • The 7.39 Written by David Nicholls
    THE 7.39 WRITTEN BY DAVID NICHOLLS Carnival Films and BBC One The 7.39 Carnival Films and BBC One’s new two-part romantic drama written by David Nicholls (One Day, Starter For Ten), The 7.39 stars David Morrissey (The Walking Dead), Sheridan Smith (Mrs Biggs), Olivia Colman (Broadchurch) and Sean Maguire (Scott & Bailey). Writer, David Nicholls says, “The 7.39 is a love story for grown-ups, the sort of drama that has not been seen on television for a while. I'm delighted to be writing for the BBC again and working with such a terrific cast and production team.” Carl Matthews (David Morrissey) is stuck. At the age of 45 his life has become routine. Every morning Carl fights his way onto the 7.39 train where he sees the same unhappy faces doing the same daily commute into Waterloo. Happily married to his best friend from college, Maggie (Olivia Colman), with whom he has two healthy, if sullen, teenage kids, life for Carl has become predictable. Sally Thorn (Sheridan Smith) has recently moved out of London, where she still works as the manager of a health club. But she’s unsure if she likes her new suburban life and is anxious about the prospect of marriage to Ryan (Sean Maguire), an enthusiastic personal trainer. Ryan is desperate to start a family, get married, settle down. Not that there’s much time to worry about these things, not while she’s running to catch the 7.39. Over a fight for a seat one morning Sally and Carl begin talking and suddenly their daily commute becomes a lot more interesting.

  • Loki Production Brief
    PRODUCTION BRIEF “I am Loki, and I am burdened with glorious purpose.” —Loki arvel Studios’ “Loki,” an original live-action series created exclusively for Disney+, features the mercurial God of Mischief as he steps out of his brother’s shadow. The series, described as a crime-thriller meets epic-adventure, takes place after the events Mof “Avengers: Endgame.” “‘Loki’ is intriguingly different with a bold creative swing,” says Kevin Feige, President, Marvel Studios and Chief Creative Officer, Marvel. “This series breaks new ground for the Marvel Cinematic Universe before it, and lays the groundwork for things to come.” The starting point of the series is the moment in “Avengers: Endgame” when the 2012 Loki takes the Tesseract—from there Loki lands in the hands of the Time Variance Authority (TVA), which is outside of the timeline, concurrent to the current day Marvel Cinematic Universe. In his cross-timeline journey, Loki finds himself a fish out of water as he tries to navigate—and manipulate—his way through the bureaucratic nightmare that is the Time Variance Authority and its by-the-numbers mentality. This is Loki as you have never seen him. Stripped of his self- proclaimed majesty but with his ego still intact, Loki faces consequences he never thought could happen to such a supreme being as himself. In that, there is a lot of humor as he is taken down a few pegs and struggles to find his footing in the unforgiving bureaucracy of the Time Variance Authority. As the series progresses, we see different sides of Loki as he is drawn into helping to solve a serious crime with an agent 1 of the TVA, Mobius, who needs his “unique Loki perspective” to locate the culprits and mend the timeline.

  • Newsletter 12
    NEWSLETTER 12 Welcome to the Summer season … The Phoenix Summer season is traditionally our shortest, six films this time around, and includes two “specials” in the form of our joint screening with Union Films as well as our Gap Week Members’ choice film. The former is The Wife, starring Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce and is a film which would probably have won an Oscar and a Bafta for the leading actress if Olivia Colman in The Favourite had not got in the way. The Wife is very much the story of that familiar saying “Behind any great man, there's always a greater woman” and Glenn Close’s performance nails it completely. Please note that The Wife will be screened on Tuesday May 7th at 7 p.m. Speaking of Colman’s film, that was bested by A Private War in the Gap Week film vote, so Rosamund Pike’s performance as the late journalist Marie Colvin will be our special screening on May 15th at our usual time of 8 p.m. Union Films Summer term programme With exams looming for so many students, the UF Summer term programme (as it stands at the time of writing) is destined to help students relax in between those pesky essays and viva voce. It is UF Manager Alex Petrov’s last programmed season and we thank Alex and team for their support during the year. So, here is the Union Films programme for the Summer term (with the possibility of more to be added as the weeks (and exams!) pass ...

  • The Story of Christmas Goes Online in 2020 Wednesday 16 December at 7Pm

Over the past few months we have been agonising about The Story of Christmas in view of the pandemic crisis. Staging an event with over 500 guests in a packed-out church and ballroom seems increasingly problematic for all the obvious reasons. At the same time we cannot abandon our charities at a time when they need us more than ever. The show must go on! Therefore we are excited to announce that The Story of Christmas 2020 will proceed as a star-studded, televised online event. Some of our most popular associated celebrities – Dame Judi Dench, Ian Hislop, Aled Jones, Clare Balding, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Jim Carter, Olivia Colman, Dawn French, Freddie Fox, Tim Henman, Sir Derek Jacobi, Vanessa Kirby, Miriam Margolyes, Sophie Raworth, John Sessions, Eleanor Tomlinson & Dame Penelope Wilton – will be performing. We are very grateful that many of our longstanding sponsors and donors have already confirmed their usual wonderful support. The fundraising campaign will proceed in the usual way with sponsored pages in our Souvenir Brochure. Two weeks before the event, our Silent Auction will launch online. Around a week ahead of the event, guests who would usually attend the church service and reception will be sent a Christmas parcel – including their copy of the brochure, a bottle of champagne, a celebrity autographed Christmas Card, a range of special Christmas gifts to enjoy, details of the online event and the online Live and Silent Auctions.
