A neo-Assyrian relief in the Weingreen Museum of Biblical Antiquities, Trinity College Dublin*a case study in artefact acquisition AMANDA KELLY* Classics Department, National University of Ireland, Galway [Accepted 7 September 2010. Published 14 October 2011.] Abstract The focus of this paper is a neo-Assyrian relief discovered in the Weingreen Museum of Biblical Antiquities at Trinity College Dublin (hereafter the Weingreen Museum). The shallow relief depicts a pictorial vignette of a kneeling genie, rendered in profile, facing a tree of life, on a horizon formed by a cuneiform border (WM 1189). Details surrounding the relief’s acquisition were completely unknown to Trinity College Dublin staff during 2008Á9. This investigation follows a paper trail which illuminates the circumstances behind its procurement and subsequent journey from Iraq to Dublin in the Victorian period.

    Admission to Year 7 or Year 9 2021 A Guide for Parents and Carers This guide contains information to help you apply for a school place in Year 7 or Year 9 (secondary schools, studio schools and schools with an additional point of entry at Year 7 or Year 9) You can also visit our website: bcpcouncil.gov.uk/schooladmissions Introduction Introduction Welcome to our guidebook for parents and carers which has been designed to help you find the right school for your child whether your child is starting at a Secondary or Studio school, or moving school during the 2021-22 school year. It outlines what information we need from you, and what you can expect in return from us. Across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole we have 96 schools. The Council works in close partnership with them. The aspirations for our area are ambitious and include investing in our children and young people and enabling access to high quality education. We understand that moving up to Secondary or Studio school is an exciting experience for both children and parents. However, this transition can also be a challenging time for all as decisions are made about which schools to apply for - with this process then followed by the inevitable and anxious wait to see if the application has been successful. Similar to other areas, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has experienced increased demand for school places due to rising birth rates and movement of families. We have adopted an overall strategy for the provision of school places which includes looking at options for additional capacity at existing schools and new school provision.

  • Castleman Academy Trust
    Castleman Academy Trust 24 January 2020 Dear All, I am writing to you to let you know about an exciting development at Castleman Academy Trust. Over the past year, we have been working closely with Corfe Hills School and the Ferndown Pyramid of schools, developing learning and teaching to further improve the quality of education we offer our learners. To retain our schools’ identities and their capacity to keep improving, the Trust believes it is vital to strengthen our partnerships with like-minded schools to ensure we continue to provide a great education for all children in our community. An “Academy” is a publicly-funded all-ability local school which is independent of Local Authority control. We have already seen the benefit of being part of a Multi Academy Trust in many ways, such as access to funding streams, access to training and best practice for staff, which most importantly leads to better learning, outcomes and opportunities for pupils. This was acknowledged in Broadstone Middle’s recent OfSTED inspection. To this end, we are delighted to let you know that the Governors of the Ferndown Pyramid of schools, along with Corfe Hills School have agreed to consult with their staff and parents about joining the Castleman Academy Trust. Should they decide to become part of the Castleman Trust there will be seven schools working together to improve learning for our children. They are: Ferndown First School Parley First School Broadstone First School Ferndown Middle School Corfe Hills School Broadstone Middle School. Ferndown Upper School The consultation will run until 28th February after which the Governors of the schools will make a decision whether to become part of the Trust, based on the views of all those involved at their schools.
