  • 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.

Whilst the pressure for primary school places is stabilising, the need for more school places is moving into the secondary school phase. In addition, unprecedented levels of in-year requests for school places is providing unpredictable pressure on the school system, with additional new housing across continuing to bring additional need for school places across all ages. Leeds City Council has a statutory duty to ensure the provision of good quality learning places and to secure an appropriate balance locally between education supply, demand, choice and diversity. It is the role of the City Council to plan, organise and commission learning places in Leeds in a way that raises educational standards, manages fluctuations in pupil numbers and creates a diverse community of good schools. The Authority seeks to exercise this function in partnership with children and families, elected members, diocesan education boards, governing bodies of schools, head teachers, local communities and other key stakeholders.
