Citation For Cadet Sergeant Jules “Stationers’ Company - SCWA CCF Outstanding Cadet 2019 Jules joined the Combined Cadet Force at its inception in February 2018, as part of an initial cadre of just 8 cadets. As a former cadet in the Army Cadet Force, Jules brought with him some basic knowledge and skills, particularly in field craft, which he was able to put to good effect in the cadre. He was the sole member of the cadre with any previous experience and it was at this point that it became abundantly clear that he had real leadership potential. In the time that has passed and indeed throughout his service in the contingent Jules has been a steadfast, loyal and inspirational member of the contingent, organising and delivering training as well as making his own progress through the Royal Marines cadet training syllabus. Jules had an impeccable record of attendance at weekly cadet meetings, which take place as a voluntary after school activity on Thursdays and has been fully supportive not only of CCF adult staff and supporters but also of less experienced cadets. In the contingent, Jules served as the Troop Sergeant, responsible to the CCF adult staff for all of the cadets in the Troop. Jules commanded the contingent parade on the occasion of the formal opening in September 2018, our annual Remembrance parades and led the contingent team in the national Pringle Trophy competition held at the Commando Training Centre at Lympstone in Devon, receiving a medal of commendation. He was also the senior cadet on the Summer Camp in July, leading our cadets on their first week long Royal Marines camp on Dartmoor. He has proved time and again to be a highly capable leader and instructor, teaching cadets the same subjects and skills he himself learnt only a few months previously. Jules has gone way beyond the minimum expected of a cadet, with a pro-active can-do attitude and clear leadership potential and is duly awarded the Stationers’ Sword of Honour for 2019.” Recruitment this term has been particularly positive, with a large number of Year 10 students joining who are now fully involved with their Term 1 syllabus training, so watch this space in a couple of years for a future winner of the Sword of Honour!

  • The Harris Federation
    THE HARRIS FEDERATION (Interview: 22/10/14) A case study showing a large multi-academy trust (MAT) with a cluster-based organisational structure. The central board set the overall direction for the Trust and local governing bodies are responsible for the day-to-day governance of schools. Background The Harris Federation was founded by Lord Harris of Peckham when, in 2003, Lord Harris approached Sir Dan Moynihan, an outstanding headteacher, to lead the city technology college in Crystal Palace. Sir Dan quickly transformed the school, receiving an ‘outstanding’ rating in 2004. Due to this success and the desire to improve the educational standards for more students, the Harris Federation took on two more failing schools in the area and turned them into academies. After establishing a MAT structure in 2006, the Trust now governs 35 schools in close geographical proximity across London comprising primaries, secondaries a sixth- form college and a pupil referral unit. After growing to five schools, it became apparent that Sir Dan could no longer be the full time head of just one school and he was made the permanent Chief Executive of the Harris Federation. Harris’ vision is to achieve the best possible outcomes for students within their schools and they do this through a tight geographical model. Structure Initially (during 2004/5), each academy existed as a part of its own trust with an overseeing central board and members. However, in 2006 Harris moved to a MAT structure and has grown steadily since. They introduced two subcommittees from the main board; finance and general purposes, and audit as well as giving Local Governing Bodies (LGBs) the power to run clusters of schools.

  • Harris Federation
    Harris Federation The academy schools movement is increasingly dominated by chains. These self-styled ‘charities’ are in reality ‘edu-businesses’ paying fat cat salaries to their CEOs, developing corporate branding and seeking aggressive expansion in the education ‘market’. This briefing looks at the Harris Federation. The Harris Federation is a key player amongst academy chains and has played a leading role in developing academy policies since they were introduced by New Labour. Harris Federation have several well established schools. The Federation is named after Lord Phillip Harris of Peckham, one of the richest men in Britain who has a personal fortune of £275 million and runs the Carpetright chain of carpet stores. Harris is a member of the Tory Party and has many large donations including to several leading figures. The Harris Federation currently runs 13 academies, 1 of which is a primary school and has 2 more in development. 2 primary schools, which Michael Gove has declared are ‘underperforming’, are to be forced to become academies with Harris identified as a sponsor. Harris also has 2 ‘free’ schools in development, one in Tottenham, North London. Parents, staff, governors and the head opposed Downhills Primary being forced to become an academy. Gove sacked the governors and has made Harris the preferred sponsor. Harris boast that the “Harris Federation has a performance record in terms of improvement in examination results combined with numbers of outstanding Academies which is unmatched by any Academy group in the country.” We are happy to acknowledge the success of Harris where it is due but it is important to look more closely behind the spin.

While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website.

  • Do Well and Doubt Not Issue 1 a Fanzine for Tottenham
    Issue 1 Do Well and Doubt Not A Fanzine For Tottenham B: Shabelle Fax & Photocopy Services Issue 1 Do Well and Doubt Not is a fanzine about Tottenham, in the words of the people that live here. The name comes from the discarded town motto, displayed for all to see on a coat of arms in the old Town Hall. Tottenham is an area of London that has had more than its fair share of headlines over the years. A lot of people just don’t know the good things about it. The fanzine is here to start a wider conversation about the positives of Tottenham, and to challenge the bad. It’s also just the beginning; there are many more people we simply couldn’t fit in this time. For Tottenham A Fanzine The interviews in this fanzine are taken directly from conversations with people that live and work in the area, the people that know it best. Sometimes these conversations were recorded during walks through the area; sometimes we journeyed through Tottenham metaphorically, with the kettle on, sheltering from the rain outside. Do Well and Doubt Not Doubt and Do Well Shortly after the riots of 2011 there was a piece written by Kieran Long (in the Evening Standard) that stated “now is the time for a new approach to the city that doesn’t use the euphemisms of regeneration, but deals with the city in its dirty reality.” Do Well and Doubt Not is an attempt to start this dialogue, to question and to inquire. Cities are complex, frustrating, and compelling; they are things of beauty.
