Download the Awards Evening 2014 Programme Awards 2014 Welcome We offer a warm welcome to all students, parents, guests, governors and teachers who can be here tonight. This awards evening is the first of its kind and we hope it will become part of the College’s future, part of its many traditions and successes and ultimately part of its rich past. Launceston College is committed to the pursuit of individual excellence and achievement whilst ensuring that no-one is left behind; we believe that students should have all of their achievements recognised, acknowledged and given credit and we believe that this annual awards event will reward and inspire greater success. All of those nominated tonight are winners, however one name for each award will be recorded on the honours board in our main hall, thus leaving an indelible mark on the College’s recorded history. The College was first founded in 1409 as Launceston Grammar School and has been on the current site since 1873; we were renamed as Launceston College in 1931, became co-educational in 1962, we became a comprehensive school in 1965 and an Academy in 2013. Launceston is a settled community and many parents attended the College as students and in some cases many generations before. This long history and central place in the community all goes towards making the College the special place that it is today. This awards evening reflects the excellent relationships between students, parents and the wider Launceston Community and recognises that everyone has a vital part to play in ensuring that Launceston College is successful. Each award has been named after a personal, geographical or partnership link with the College: it is inspiring to have awards named after a Turner prize winner and England cricket team psychologist; both former students of the College. Our address tonight will be given by Dr Steve Wharton FRSA who is senior lecturer in French and Communication and also lecturer in the Department of Politics, Languages and International Studies at the University of Bath. Dr Wharton has been knighted by the French government for his services to language: he was awarded the Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques. He is co-director of Routes into Languages South West. I am hugely proud of the achievement of students at Launceston College and hope you enjoy this evening’s recognition of their talents.

Sir Kenneth’s career has spanned more than half a century, and many of his designs are familiar items in the household and the street and include designs for Venner, Kenwood, Wilkinson Sword, Kodak, Imperial, Morphy Richards, Ronson, Bendix and Parker. He was also responsible for the aerodynamics, interior layout and exterior styling of the nose cone of British Rail’s famous High Speed Train, the InterCity 125 and involved in the design of the 1997 TX1 London taxi-cab. Sir Kenneth has won ten Design Council Awards, the Duke of Edinburgh’s prize for Elegant Design in 1966, and in 2001 he was awarded the Prince Philip Designers Prize – honouring a lifetime achievement. He was knighted in the 2013 New Year Honours. Charlotte Hartnell is currently in Year 11: she made the decision to study art textiles in her own time after College. Her dedication, enthusiasm and persistence have not only produced excellent work but also allowed her to be an outstanding role model for the rest of the class. She is creative and happy to take advice and also tries ideas out of her comfort zone with a positive attitude. Her thirst for learning new skills has given her an excellent foundation for her future studies. Ben Kew is currently in Year 13 and is studying food technology at A Level. He has shown a keen interest in food related subjects for a number of years. He was in the first cohort of students to study NVQ Professional Cookery and he gained outstanding results. Ben’s impressive academic ability meant he then followed this up by studying food technology at level three. He is always willing to help at events in Dunheved House and has masterminded some outstanding food banquets on a number of occasions. It is only a matter of time before Ben is a contender on Masterchef! Oliver Platt is currently in Year 11 and has been nominated for his conscientious attitude and his determination to do well in electronic products. He always strives to do his best and is always willing to extend the boundaries of the subject. Whenever there is individual study to be done, Oliver always goes the extra mile. He has supported the design and technology department at open evenings where he has shared with others his enthusiasm for the subject. Without doubt Oliver will be one of the designers of the future, keeping Britain at the forefront of the world in design and technology. Yas Statton has shown great enthusiasm and exceptional ability in practical catering skills. She has always wanted to know how she could improve and has then acted upon this. She has been happy to independently research tasks as well as thoroughly absorb what is taught. She is a great organiser and team leader which has been shown in successful events. Her dedication and thirst for the subject has enabled her to be following her dream and she is now studying VRQ 1 at Michelin starred celebrity chef Michael Caine’s Academy in Exeter. Design Technology Resilience Award Callum Bourne is currently in Year 11 and has proven himself to be a dedicated and conscientious student in design and technology. Callum has risen to the challenges of the subject with resilience and is on course to achieve his target grade. Callum is a quietly determined and positive student who has striven to do his best. He is to be commended for his hard work and excellent progress within the subject. Laura Dubey is currently in Year 13. Laura began studying A level food and nutrition in Year 12 despite not having experience of studying food technology at GCSE. She has risen to the many challenges this prompted and has shown resilience and determination. Laura persevered and was rewarded with an A grade at AS level: Laura has now embraced the challenges of Year 13 and we are convinced she will do just as well this year. Toby Lee is currently in Year 8. He is always both conscientious and ambitious. He shows great enthusiasm for each task set and is determined to do his best. He is willing to learn new skills and then put them into reality effectively. He is determined to succeed and should have a very successful future ahead of him in design and technology. Emma Platt is currently in Year 11 and is a gifted illustrator and graphic designer. She has been nominated for her passion and drive, and for her quest to achieve a perfect result in graphic design. Her meticulous attention to detail and her striving for perfection in every aspect of her project work, puts her in a category of her own. Emma approaches problems head on, and although often reserved, she knows exactly what she wants to achieve and listens intently to advice to help her achieve it. English The Arvon Award The Arvon Foundation was founded in 1968 by two poets, John Moat and John Fairfax, with the original aim of providing time and space away from school for young people to write poetry. In 1980, in order to raise funds for Arvon, Ted Hughes established the Arvon International Poetry Competition. That year his fellow judges were Charles Causley, Philip Larkin and Seamus Heaney. Oliver Meek is centre director for Arvon’s Totleigh Barton centre. Joe Metcalfe is currently in Year 8. He is genuinely purposeful and reflective and shows maturity beyond his years. He utilises an extensive and sophisticated vocabulary in responses whilst thinking meticulously about ideas. He is a thinker who applies his thoughts in a creative and analytical manner. Joe is an ambitious and eager scholar. Louis March is currently in Year 10.

  • Penny Sparke
    THEORY AND DESIGN IN THE AGE OF POP by Penny Sparke Thesis for Ph.D. Faculty of Art and Design Brighton Polytechnic October 1975 \ Acknowledgements I should like to thank the following for help given during the writing of this thesis : Gillian Naylor, Charles Jencks, P. Reyner Banham,, Kenneth Grange, John Blake, Michael English, Christopher Logue, Brian Rice , Paul Clark and Ken Baynes. J Theory and Design in the Age of Pop Summary The aim of this thesis is to discover the principle determining factors behind British Design in the 1960's in order to describe and analyse the background and effects of the crisis in Design theory that occurred at this time. This crisis, which meant a questioning of the tenets of Functionalism - the name with which the architectural and design theorists of the 1920's had identified themselves - constitutes, in both theoretical and practical terms, a major development in Twentieth Century Design History and by implication for any Design historical study. The period thus serves as a model for an examination of some major factors pertinent to many Design historiographical problems. The philosophical and stylistic implications of Functionalism, its discrepancies and variations, are noted briefly. A description of their continuation into the 1950's and 1960's is given in which the gap between abstract ideas and stylistic considerations is seen to widen. The critical reaction to Functionalism, manifested in several spheres, is noted and analysed. This reaction stems from an involvement with popular culture as a serious matter for academic discussion and a desire to restructure the value system within which judgements about buildings, objects and other social phenomena are made.

Relevant aspects of his personal background are introduced. Three of his well-known projects are selected for analysis: a camera for Kodak, a sewing machine for Maruzen, and the British Rail High Speed Train. His designs are characterised by a concern with designing for purpose, so as to achieve pleasure for the user. General lessons are drawn from the examples, and comparisons are made with other studies of highly successful designers. Similarities with these others include a tendency to develop a systems view of the problem; defining or framing the problem to be solved in a fresh, challenging way; and developing details from basic principles of function, engineering and manufacture.
