  • QHS Newsletter
    Cognita School QHS Newsletter Autumn Term 2016 Dear Parents Contents: Recently I asked one of my colleagues, what was their reason for staying in teaching for so many years. Their reply was that they loved doing a job where no two days were the same, where you never knew exactly what was going to happen. I’m not sure if that is why I have stayed in education for so long but there is no denying the variety of my job as Headteacher. The run up to the Christmas holidays has included handing out Year 11 Mock examination results, taking part in a Christingle Service with Reception, Q1 and Q2, handing out raffle p1. Letter from Ms Co- prizes at the Senior Citizens Christmas event, watching a Nativity, attending Parents’ Eve- zens nings, listening to concerts and who could have failed to be touched when Nursery visited my office to post their letters to Santa in my ‘magic fireplace’. It is very true that no two p2. Shakespeare Festi- days are ever the same, but there are underlying principles that do remain the same every val day. The school exists because of its pupils, they are the most important part of our school community, but by themselves the school would be a strange place, it takes parents and p4. Guide to New staff to make the school what it is. Every day we work together to enable the pupils to GCSE Grading System achieve the best they possibly can, we strive together to create the school that Quinton is. We are sad to say goodbye to three members of staff at the end of this term.

  • Orlingbury Character Appraisal
    ORLINGBURY CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER APPRAISAL 1. ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT 1.1 Orlingbury Village is located 4 miles west-north-west of Wellingborough, 4 miles from Kettering and 10 miles from Northampton. The roughly rectangular parish lies between two east-flowing tributaries of the River Ise; the higher land in the west between 107m and 137m AOD, and the central ridge which runs east-west, are covered by Boulder Clay, but the down-cutting of the two streams to the north and south has exposed bands of Great Oolite Limestone, clays, silts, and limestone of the Estuarine Series, Northampton Sand and Upper Lias Clay.¹ The village of Orlingbury itself, in the north- east corner of the parish, lies at 101m AOD, whilst in the south east the ground falls rapidly and is only 68m AOD at the parish boundary on the Orlingbury – Little Harrowden road. 1.2 The etymology of the place name is consistent with this topography as it is thought to derive from “Ordla’s Hill” with connective “ing”. However, the multiplicity of variant forms makes the second element uncertain, evolving from Ordinbaro (1086) through Orlingberg(a) (1131), Horlingbere (1203), Orlibergh (1388) to Orlibeare in 1631.² 1.3 Fairly remote from any significant routes or towns, Orlingbury appears to have been relatively unaffected by the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century. Bridges, in 1753, records it as having about 50 families and census returns in the 19th century showed a stable population of between 250 and 350 persons. Whellan notes employment in 1874 as comprising: grocer/baker wheelwright/carpenter 2 shoemakers brick maker school mistress blacksmith Rector and 3 farmers/graziers farm bailiff With the possible exception of the shoemakers, therefore, employment was clearly subsistence-based.
