As the UK economy faltered over the last 3 years, many Science Parks have seen enquiry levels drop and new investment slow to a trickle. Belasis Hall has been able to sustain its growth thanks to its ongoing commitment to create a successful environment for high tech companies involved in new technologies, despite the economic climate. Bucking the general trend, the Park has continued its development programme with partner English Partnerships now building their fifth r phase of high quality pavilions. Other companies have chosen to set £ up home here by building their own premises on fully sen-iced greenfie'.d sites within the 167 acre landscaped environment. The on-site facilities, such as the restaurant, travel agen: and business services available from the Belasis Business Centre, will be expanded to include a new hotel and conference centre with leisure facilities. Added to these, are the unique facilities, services and resources available from neighbouring 1C1. Residents of the Park can 'plug-in' to the vast technical and analytical resources of one of Europe's largest and diverse chemical companies, such as the library and research facilities, open learning, occupational health and conference centres. Companies here can also enjoy many social and leisure amenities, too, such as hosting clients in superb surroundings at ICI's Norton Hail and Wilton Castle, with its beautiful golf course. All of this adds up to Belasis Hali Technology Park offering Quality PLUS all the way. We've new premises from 500 to 20.000 sq ft in an environment that's hard to beat.

THE NEW STOCKTONIAN 1995-1996 OLD STOCKTONIANS ASSOCIATION (Founded by Evan Baldwin 24th January 1913) An Association of Former Pupils of Stockton Sixth Form College and the Grangefield Grammar Schools, formerly known as Stockton Secondary School, and originally as Stockton Higher Grade School: and also to the Former Pupils of the Grangefield School and of the former Sheraton-Grange and the Grange Schools. ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION £1.50 (Advance subscriptions for two, five or ten years would be welcomed!) Cheques and Postal Orders should be crossed and made payable to; 'Old Stocktonians' Association' Communications should be addressed to : R. Ward Esq., 66 Butterfield Drive, Eaglescliffe, Stockton-on-Tees, ClevelandTS16 OEZ Telephone : Eaglescliffe (01642) 784250 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE It is my privilege to write the President's message this year and I welcome you to the 1995/96 edition of The New Stocktonian'. The last three years have seen some notable dates in the history of The School' and of the Old Stocktonians' Association. In 1993 we celebrated the 80th anniversary of the Association, in 1994 the Sixth Form College and the Association in its present form reached the age of 21, and in 1995 it was 80 years since the Stockton Secondary School divided into two separate schools for boys and girls. By the time you read this it will be 1996 and we will be celebrating yet another important event - the centenary of The School', it being 100 years since the formal opening of the Higher Grade School on the 18th January 1896. As Old Stocktonians we all refer to The School' although we all remember it by different names and different buildings necessitated by education changes over the years. Through all of those changes The Association, although changing to meet the needs in the changes in The School, has remained constant in its original objective to enable members to 'Make new friends but keep the old' (which I note from Tom Sowler's History of the Association was the inspiring objective leading to the formation of The Association). Tom's book also noted '... but it will be by 'doing' and not by sentimental thought alone that our laudable objective can be achieved'. Although The Association is supported by a lot of 'sentimental thought' by members far and wide the 'doing' continues by a dedicated committee. I make the annual plea to you all out there to add, if possible, to your sentimentalism some 'doing' and come along to the AGM, even perhaps joining the committee, bringing some fresh ideas to some tired old minds. In 1996 we also hold the 70th Annual Dinner at which we have the opportunity to meet old friends and form new friendships. Full details of the Dinner appear elsewhere in the magazine but it is our privilege to have Gordon Rattenbury as one of our guest speakers and I'm sure that he will have some stories to tell. As your President I encourage, nay command, you to come along to the Dinner this year. Finally I record my thanks to all the officers and committee for their work during 1995 and our appreciation to the Sixth Form College for providing the facilities for our meetings. With good wishes to you all. BOB WARD COLLEGE NEWS I regret that illness prevented me from writing my annual article last year, but I did promise an extended version - with all the up-to-date news - for 1995/96. Mis-fortune sometimes brings compensations and a spell in North Tees Hospital, followed by a period of convalescence, provided the opportunity to reflect in a more leisurely manner on the developments which are taking place, not only at Stockton Sixth Form College, but more widely within further education. It also brought home the similarities between the changing environments within which both the college and its local hospital are required to operate. The college and North Tees Hospital have recently been given independent and corporate status within the public sector, and are now required to act very much as businesses and establish a sound financial basis for their operations and future development. The similarities go further than this: we are both specifically charged with being responsive to the changing needs of the community, are required to be publicly accountable for our actions - issuing charters which contain commitments to quality standards for students and patients, and are increasingly judged by performance - as measured through league tables and a variety of public audits and inspections. In ail of this, we are required to meet national targets and to operate within budgets, from which we are expected to achieve annual efficiency savings, sufficient to finance growth in our services, pay for new developments and also some modest salary increases for our staff! Focusing specifically upon the Sixth Form College, I am pleased to report that we are making very good progress in our mission which is to provide high quality education for 16-19 year olds and also in our objective of developing new curriculum opportunities for this age group, whilst introducing a range of courses for adult students. We now have over 800 full-time full-time 16-19 year old students, the substantial majority of whom are following GCE A-Level courses or one of the new Advanced Level vocational qualifications. As the established provider for this age group in Stockton, we continue to attach great importance to extending educational opportunities, and the college successfully attracts a large number of students who are seeking a fresh start or a second chance - whatever their attainment at school - onto one year GCSE and vocational programmes. Each year the college examines its courses in order to ensure that they meet the needs of our students. New modular courses are proving to be popular and successful in Biology and Mathematics. Modular courses sometimes get a bad press, but they combine the rigour of the traditional final assessment, but replacing it with a series of examinations at intervals, which have a very positive effect on motivation. Students like these courses and we expect to see more introduced in future years. In 1994 we introduced A-Level Law (assisted by the very generous "R E B Williams Gift"). This year we have started to teach A-Level Sports Studies and this complements our existing BTEC National Diploma in Sports Science - both are recruiting strongly and are adding to the college's reputation as a centre of excellence for sports and games. Consideration is now being given to extending our curriculum into Media Studies and the Performing Arts - areas in which the college has, hitherto, provided very few opportunities for students to acquire formal qualifications. In 1995 we achieved a very satisfactory set of GCE Advanced Level results, indeed one of the best since the college was established. Students on vocational courses performed outstandingly and almost 200 students proceeded into higher education, many showing an increasing preference for local and regional universities. Five students obtained places at Oxford and Cambridge universities. The development of adult courses continues to be a success story. In 1994/95 we enrolled over 300 students and we have already exceeded this figure for the present academic year. Courses in Information Technology are proving to be especially popular with adults and we have developed a portfolio ranging from introductory programmes to preparation for entry to degree courses at university. We have also introduced a GCSE and GCE Advanced Level programme and we are very pleased with 2 the excellent examination results by our adult students last summer, with an overall pass rate well above 80%. These achievements are very pleasing, but we are concerned about the small but significant increase in the number of 16-19 year old students leaving the college before the completion of their course.

  • Woman from Mars a New Play by Nicola Baldwin Directed by Cat Robey
    Woman From Mars A new play by Nicola Baldwin Directed by Cat Robey Online scratch performance of extracts plus Q&A Hosted by UCL Centre for Outer Space Studies (COSS) Introduced by Dr. David Jeevendrampillai, COSS Director BECKY SIMON as Helen Sharman PETER CLEMENTS as Sergei Krikalev LYNDA ROOKE as Stella Shaw Composer & sound designer Louis Milner Russian language coaching Shishkina Eugenia Thanks to Lucy Stagg, Albert Brenchat Aguilar. In 1991, chemist Helen Sharman became the first British astronaut, when she joined the crew of Soyuz TM-12 to conduct experiments on Mir space station. Dubbed ‘The Girl From Mars’ by British tabloids, Sharman was an industrial chemist at Mars Confectionary when she answered the call to space. She launched on 18 May 1991 with cosmonauts Sergei Krikaley and Anatoly Artsebarsky and returned to earth on 26 May with Viktor Afanasyey and Musa Manarov. While Krikalev and Artsebarsky remained on Mir the second Russian revolution happened, the Soviet Union, and its government-run space programme, ceased to exist. Set on Helen Sharman’s last day aboard Mir, reflecting upon her journey to get there, and the risks of returning home, the play is both a tribute to Sharman’s achievements and a story about personal and global transformation, the chemistry of human life. Since returning to Earth, Helen Sharman has directed her pioneering efforts towards education. In addition to numerous awards, she was recognised in the 2018 New Year Honours for services to Science and Technology Outreach. In recognition of her encouragement of young children to study STEM, an online children’s drama will be created, with supporting activities in Science, PSHE and Drama.

As a graduate of the University of Sheffield you have every reason to be proud. You are joining a long tradition of excellence stretching back more than 100 years. The University of Sheffield was founded with the amalgamation of the School of Medicine, Sheffield Technical School and Firth College. In 1905, we received a Royal Charter and Firth Court was officially opened by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. At that time, there were 363 students reading for degrees in arts, pure science, medicine and applied science. By the time of our centenary, there were over 25,000 students from more than 100 countries, across 70 academic departments. Today, a degree from Sheffield is recognised all over the world as a hallmark of academic excellence. We are proud of our graduates and we are confident that you will make a difference wherever you choose to build your future. With every generation of graduates, our university goes from strength to strength. This is the original fundraising poster from 1904/1905 which helped raise donations for the University of Sheffield. Over £50,000 (worth more than £15 million today) was donated by steelworkers, coal miners, factory workers and the people of Sheffield in penny donations to help found the University. A century on, the University is now rated as one of the top world universities – according to the Shanghai Jiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities.
