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.

  • Conditions of Service for Secondary Schoolmasters in England and Wales, 1891-1951, with Specific Reference to the Work of the Assistant Masters Association
    CONDITIONS OF SERVICE FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLMASTERS IN ENGLAND AND WALES, 1891-1951, WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO THE WORK OF THE ASSISTANT MASTERS ASSOCIATION. by GE01-1-REY WALKER Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Education, University of London Institute of Education. 1995 Abstract This thesis examines to what extent and by what means the Assistant Masters Association (AMA) was able to influence provision in relation to conditions of service for the secondary schoolmaster in England and Wales in the 60-year period from the AMA's foundation in 1891. A thematic approach is adopted with chapters devoted to the specific issues of tenure, salaries, superannuation, registration and training. Within each chapter there is a necessary concentration on the earlier period of the AMA's history when the impetus to create acceptable conditions of service was at its most imperative. The thesis draws upon much previously unused material from the Assistant Masters Archive, lodged at the University of London Institute of Education Library. The study builds upon and extends the earlier research of Baron, Tropp and Gosden, and provides an alternative interpretation to the more recent work of Lawn, Ozga, Grace, and others, which presents the behaviour of organized teachers in terms of employer- employee conflict. The strike, confrontational stratagem and the coercion of its membership are seen as alien to the AMA's philosophy. The AMA's participation with Joint Four, and its interaction with other teacher unions, are fully explored. The significant contribution of the AMA to enhanced provision across the spectrum of teacher employment is shown to be primarily the result of the Association's persistent, professional dialogue with government - both central and local - via carefully researched data and targeted argument.

Those changes have been very well received. The College has had a very good year. Perhaps it was the dismal weather in Trinity Term which encouraged our undergraduates to focus on their examinations, but whatever the reason I am delighted to report that a record number of forty finalists obtained Firsts (a third of the cohort) and there were some exceptional, prize-winning performances in Medicine, Engineering, Law, Computer Science, and Mathematics and Statistics. The research dimension of the College’s life continued to be enhanced by the development of our Advanced Studies Centre which arranged programmes of lectures and seminars in subjects as diverse as the treatment of stroke and neuro-degenerative disease and the interactions between elité culture and fairground puppet theatre in the seventeenth century. If 2011-12 didn’t quite repeat previous successes on field and river, we could be consoled by vicarious triumphs in the context of the Olympics; a Keble Old Member, Niels De Vos (Keble 1986), had an outstanding summer as Chief Executive of UK Athletics and another Old Member, Frank Cottrell-Boyce (Keble 1979), was closely involved in scripting the opening ceremony of the Games.

  • GCA Issue 14 GCA Issue 14 5 Well Done Well Done
    Title GCA Issue 14 1 Coming soon A letter from our Principal Dear students, parents, carers and friends of Greig City Academy, Welcome to our school magazine. As I write, our Year 11 and Sixth Form students are about to finish their GCSE and GCE examinations. Whatever results day brings, their qualifications will be the outcome of sustained and high-quality effort by students and staff working together with common purpose in an atmosphere of trust and respect. We are proud of their achievements and wish them the best of luck for that August day when they receive their results. It has been another successful year for our robotics teams. Our Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 teams performed exceptionally well throughout the competition season and, in the National Finals, the Year 9 team achieved a well-deserved second place. In our capacity as the Haringey STEM Innovations Hub we hosted the borough’s first STEM Showcase in which 20 local schools demonstrated a range of exciting activities. We are now working with 12 primary schools, helping staff and pupils develop and deliver robotics programmes. Our girls have had an amazing year! Our Years 7, 9 and senior netball teams and our Years 8 and 9 rounders teams are all Haringey League Champions. In their first year of dance, a mixed group of girls and boys saw success at borough and regional levels before going on to become UK Schools Dance Champions. Additionally, an impressive number of students are taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, Building work will soon start on GCA’s new STEM centre.
