Brad Marshall, Bury Times Bolton Book Awards 2019 When we arrived at Bolton School we were greeted by the staff and ambassadors which gave good expectations for the day, we were amazed at the size and design of the school. My friend described it as a real life Hogwarts! After we finally finished going on about how amazing the school looked, we were quickly shown to our first venue where we were informed about what would be happening throughout the day…. After the introduction ceremony we went for a session with Will Mabbitt, the author of the book ‘Embassy of the Dead’. He gave us several tips about how to improve our writing, which he expressed in a creative way.

  • The Clavian 1964

    The Clavian 1964

    THE CLAVIAN MAGAZINE OF THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL, BURY 1964 VOLUME TEN NUMBER ONE J THE CLAVIAN 1964 EDITORIAL Editors : P. A. L. GREENHALGH, I. R. CAIRNIE. The perpetual process of adaptation that we call life leaves nothing alone, The School itself can show a long history of change as it has moulded itself to the differing needs of time, and a glance at the gaunt girders and churned mud on one side of Bridge Road show that it is as determined to be at home in the last half of this century as it has been heretofore. The modifications to the Clavian are part of this forward-looking spirit. We have set ourselves the task of providing a magazine that will above all have a unity about it. A magazine produced to appear at the end of a school term leaves much of the School year unfinished, so we have made our first aim the production of an annual Clavian that shall appear after the Speech- Day and Prize Giving ceremony, in order to record and round-off the activity of a whole year. Further, we have felt for some time that the Clavian could provide a much closer link between present and past members of the School. The merging of the Clavian and Old Clavians' Record will, it is hoped, bring news of what is going on in the School to Old Boys, and enable those still at School to feel themselves part of a larger unit than that provided by the boundaries of the School fields. We hope that this first experimental issue will be welcome to its wider circle of readers, and that its enlarged scope will compensate its regular readers for the long time they have waited for its appearance.

    Christmas Grapevine 2019

    BURY CHURCH OF ENGLAND HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 2019 FAREWELL It is with a great degree of sadness that I find myself writing this, my final article for the Grapevine newsletter. I will be stepping down as Headteacher of Bury CE High School after seven years, having joined the school in September 2012. It has been a privilege to lead this wonderful historic school. To have been part of a community that goes back to 1748 has been an enormous joy and I have loved it. The Governors will determine who the new Head will be to take on the reins and lead the school forward in the next stage of its development. I want to say thank you to all who have supported the school during my period as Headteacher. To parents and carers, I would say a big thank you for entrusting your children into our care. I have had the joy of seeing your children turn into amazing young men and women of whom we, and you, can be immensely proud. To those who have been friends of the school, I would thank you for your support over the years. Your help has enabled us to achieve vastly more than we could have ever imagined. Whether it has been clergy giving up their time to come in and lead services, or Alumni giving generously to support prizes and fund-raising activities, or the community coming together to remember those who are no longer with us at remembrance events, it has all added to the achievements of this school.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.
