All of the noticed a few new faces around the Adamson Centre and the eagle-eyed amongst them may have noticed teaching sessions taking place in A1, where the ‘pupils’ are adults. The Modern Languages Department has set up a teacher training ‘hub’ for modern languages as part of a national scheme called the ‘National Modern Languages SCITT’. The acronym ‘SCITT’ stands for ‘School Centred Initial Teacher Training’. This government scheme was created to help tackle the shortage of modern languages teacher in our schools. It is unique in being the only teacher training course focussed on one core subject area. The scheme runs across state and independent schools� Of the 13 schools that form the Oundle hub, trainees take on placements at two of them. The current partner schools are: Independent sector: Oundle School, Oakham School, Stamford High School, Bedford School, Bedford Modern and Rugby School 4 Oundle Lingua 2019 trainees in the hub come to Oundle every two or three Real-lives Language weeks for a day of pedagogy, currently taught by Katrin Sredzki-Seamer, the course leader in Sheffield, Sara Davidson For the first time last summer, 13 Germanists and 48 (Head of Modern Languages) and Karen Paone (Italian and Hispanists in the Fourth form sat the CIOL Real Lives Spanish teacher) exam.

A further benefit is that, should a vacancy crop up in the department, we have direct access to high calibre recently trained linguists which are normally hard to come by in the current climate. Oundle pupils, OO’s or even parents who are keen linguists and think they might want to become a language teacher should keep us in mind… European Day of Languages The European day of Languages is a Council of Europe initiative which has become a bit of an annual tradition at Oundle, helped by our diverse and multicultural community.

  • History Kibworth Beauchamp Grammar School
    A HISTORY OF KIBWORTH BEAUCHAMP GRAMMAR SCHOOL by Bernard Elliott A History of Kibworth Beauchamp Grammar School by BERNARD ELLIOTT, B.A. 4 Foreword by the Headmaster. \Happy is the nation which has no history", we are told: and, in view of the wearisome chronicles of battles, murder and sudden death which sometimes pass for history, we can sympathise with the sentiment. But happy is the school whose traditions are firmly rooted in past centuries. At Kibworth Beauchamp many generations of pupils have been proud of our long history, and now, thanks to Mr. Bernard Elliott, we can also boast of this short History. It will be a great encouragement, as we strive to ensure a worthy future for the School, to have this survey of the many fluctuations in its fortunes, and of those who have served it well. I have already had many happy days at Kibworth, but none happier than the day when Mr. Elliott unlocked the great chest which contains our documentary treasures, and thereby unlocked for me the door into our fascinating past. His enthusiasm was infectious, and, as together we pored over the records|many of them three centuries and more old, and many containing names still well-known in the village and the School|we felt that other people would be glad to share our interest and pride. In view of the high tribute that the author so rightly pays to my predecessor, it has been suggested that I ought to point out that Mr. Bernard Elliott is not related to Mr. John Elliot; their sole connection lies in the fact that for some years they worked happily as colleagues in the service of this school.

    Collections Policy for Oakham School Archives 2019 1 INTRODUCTION The Oakham School Archives, hereafter Archives, is located in The Barber Rooms, College House. It derives its authority to collect, preserve and make available archives from this policy statement, adopted formally by the Trustees of Oakham School. The Archives were officially set up in 2010. Beforehand, there was no official service and archiving and staff volunteers on an ad hoc basis undertook collecting. An official archive was set up to ensure proper security of the material as well as enabling collecting of material from Old Oakhamians and other sources. Peter Lawson, OO and Chairman of Trustees, provided considerable support. Previous volunteers made up of ex members of staff and Old Oakhamians including Brian Needham, Roger Blackmore, Nigel Webb, Kate Williamson, Roger Anderson, and Michael Allbrook. The Archives currently holds a wide variety of materials relating to the history of Oakham School dating from the 16th Century. This policy has been created in order to update the previous collections policy, but additionally, it will layout future collecting plans, enshrine the values to which the archive is committed to and highlight the method of working within the archive. This paper relates to the following documents: The Archive’s mission statement and values. 2 STAFFING The Archivist (part time) is hired externally and reports to the Head of Smallbone Library and Archives, hereafter Head of Library. The first professional archivist was hired in 2018 to manage and improve the existing collections and catalogue, and to expand upon the archive’s educational outreach and digital possibilities.
