In the first place it has seen the inauguration of the Examination for the General Certificate of Education intended by authority as a reform of the former School Certificate. The old pass standard of 30 per cent, is now no more; gone too are the ancient glories of honours, distinctions and credits. Instead a pass only is awarded, and only to candidates gaining not less than half marks in a subject. No candidate may be presented before completing a course of five years in the School. We have accordingly been compelled at last to abandon the old system of a four year course which we pursued almost alone among Secondary Schools, to the end that all our pupils might have the chance of trying for a School Certificate. Our success in the first General Certificate Examination at ordinary level (that is to say for five year pupils) is one which we can surely consider worthy of congratulation. Forty pupils were pre• sented and secured among them a total of 201 passes, an average of a shade more than five per candidate. Some estimate of the quality of this result may be formed when it is realised that the new regulations governing matriculation at the various universities demand passes at the ordinary level in three or four appropriate subjects supplemented by two at the advanced stage, these latter being taken of course in the Vlth form after a further two years' study. Public examinations came to an end with the end of June, and were immediately followed by an event in school history which has been variously an occasion for countless hopes and as many disappoint• ments over a period of forty-five years; for it was in the autumn of 1906 that the need for suitable secondary accommodation was first expressed. Preliminaries to removal had been in hand over many months and the great event might have become a reality in time for Easter had the weather and numerous other factors more or less human, proved kindly. The actual removal began on the 30th June, and was practically completed by the 4th July, for the efforts of the official removers were considerably supported by very loyal assistance from a considerable number of willing boys who might, had they so desired, have employed their days of liberty from normal school attendance in three days of the brightest sunshine enjoyed this summer in this usually murky region. We completed seventeen school days in our new home before the summer vacation. The official opening date has not been fixed but there is some ground for believing that this will be before the conclusion of the Autumn term. Quite a number of Old Stocktonians have already visited our new home and have we fancy, been suitably impressed with the liberal accommodation and equipment, the spaciousness, and the brightness of it all. Many more we hope to see as the months roll by. and a whole army at least next July when we hope that it will be possible to hold the School Sports and Old Boys' Cricket Match at long last on a ground of our own. In 1896 the School began its history as the Stockton-on-Tees Higher Grade School; in 1906 it improved its status as a result of the passing of the 1906 Education Act. and became the Secondary School: the Act of 1945 transformed us into the Secondary Grammar School and now •1 in 1951 we acquire the title of (Stockton-on-Tees) Grangefield Secon• dary Grammar School—perhaps just a shade too cumbersome it might be supposed, especially by those of us who like to think of the school over the whole of its 55 years of life as really one and the same. Perhaps a century hence the school will still be in possession of its fourth name, and justifiably proud of it if its record in the future is an extension of the not insignificant quality of its record in the past. Next Autumn the School will admit 120 new pupils as compared with the 60 of Nelson Terrace days, a process which will be repeated annually until it has grown to fill its accommodation of 550, after which the annual intake will be a normal one of 90. This expansion will involve a corresponding increase in numbers on the staff. THE ASSOCIATION It is earnestly hoped that Mr. G. D. Little, our President for the past two years, who by the way has extended his activities on election to the Durham Diocesan Board to consider re-arrangement of benefices, will be able to continue in office for a third period, this in spite of the fact that as we were proud to record last year, there are so many movements and associations in this locality which require his talents and energy in a variety of official capacities. Perhaps Mrs. Little, a warm friend of the Association, will act for us in this matter and exercise her genius for gentle persuasion should our President seek to turn a deaf ear to our earnest supplications. It is with a considerable amount of pain that we have to record this year a falling off in the yield of information relating to old boys, their successes and so on. Any items of interest and information should be addressed either to the Secretary or to the Old Stocktonians, Grangefield Grammar School for Boys. Stockton-on-Tees, and their transmission need not call for hours of letter writing or coy reluctance. Old Boys do not realise how heartening it is to receive even the briefest message, especially in these days when there is too evident a tendency to regard ourselves as mere numbers and names. The addition of date when at school is helpful, not to jog the memories of associa• tion permanent officials, though they occasionally totter, but as a useful for other Old Boys who are often not quite certain whether the John Dory now promoted Air Marshal or sent to the gallows, was the bright eyed young rogue who years ago sat in a neighbouring desk and sported with a compass point to the discomfort of his neighbours and consequent distraction of a revered instructor. To all Old Boys we send a kindly greeting of remembrance, with good wishes for the future to the School, the Association, and Stock• tonians. past and present—old and young. WAR MEMORIAL The fact that we are now established in the new school makes it imperative that the question of a war memorial should become a practical issue. The selection of a suitable position for the 1914-18 Memorial in the new school is presenting difficulties in view of its size and weight, and the poverty of adequate wall space in the new building. The com• mittee are actively engaged in this matter with the appropriate authorities and are considering at the same time the problem presented 5 of making the n6w memorial a worthy one to be placed in appropriate position relative the old one.

The Strategy identifies the key economic, social and environmental issues facing the Borough and sets out a vision for the Borough in 2014 as a 'Healthy, Prosperous and Attractive Borough with Strong Communities' . The strategy is structured around these four aims and details a number of supporting priorities and targets to be addressed under which specific service improvements will be developed. Four years after the first publication of the Community Strategy, the Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committees decided to undertake a review to look at the quality of life issues within the Community Strategy. This is particularly useful in the final year of the Authority as this will enable these issues to be benchmarked for future reference.

Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from gravity survey and structural inversion Rob Westaway 1,*, Sean M. Watson 1, Aaron Williams 1, Tom L. Harley 2, and Richard Middlemiss 3 1 James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, James Watt (South) Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. 2 WSP, 70 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1AF, UK. 3 School of Physics, University of Glasgow, Kelvin Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. * Correspondence: [email protected]; Abstract: The Butterknowle Fault is a major normal fault of Dinantian age in northern England, bounding the Stainmore Basin and the Alston Block. This fault zone has been proposed as a source of deep geothermal energy; to facilitate the design of a geothermal project in the town of Bishop Auckland further investigation of its geometry was necessary and led to the present study. We show using three-dimensional modelling of a dense local gravity survey, combined with structural inversion, that this fault has a ramp-flat-ramp geometry, ~250 m of latest Carboniferous / Early Permian downthrow having occurred on a fault surface that is not a planar updip continuation of that which had accommodated the many kilometres of Dinantian extension. The gravity survey also reveals relatively low-density sediments in the hanging-wall of the Dinantian fault, interpreted as porous alluvial fan deposits, indicating that a favourable geothermal target indeed exists in the area.

As part of the relationship between the club and Bishop Barrington saw the club invited to do table tennis at the end of term reward day at the school and the Bishop Barrington Academy open day. The continued improvement of the players saw several players invited for regional trials at Billingham July also saw Matt do an interview on Teesdale Radio August August started with the club doing a bag pack at Tesco store in West Auckland and having a table in the foyer making £230 for the club along with helping promote the club, Further money and promotion was gained from winning a the monthly Mars Milk Fund along with the money the club also got a Photo shoot with a top photographer. August saw the club asked to be a part of the Urban Games ran by Durham county council sports development team. Urban games saw the Parks in Bishop Auckland, Crook and Coxhoe used as bases for more sports such as table tennis. September September started with England international Karina Lefevre, making another visit to the club to get some coaching and give some coaching and matches with the members. This extra help really paid off with in the opening tournament of the season Rob Renton won the junior boys plate event at the Northfield 2 star and some great results from everyone.

  • The First 75 Years!
    The first 75 years! Photographs: (above) the lost village of Burnhope in upper Weardale as it appeared in the 1930s when Durham Rural Community Council was formed, and (right) the scene today, with the village long since submerged beneath the waters of Burnhope Reservoir. A Community News supplement 75 years of history and a promise for the future Way back in 1935, during the depression years when 30% of the county’s workforce was unemployed ‘The National Council for Social Service’ (the Government agency of the day) recognised a need for social support for the unemployed. This led to the creation of ‘The Community Service Council for Durham County’ (now DRCC). Pictured below is a 1975 staff photograph taken at Hallgarth House in Durham, to mark the 40th anniversary of the organisation. Miss Ivy Fox takes centre stage. Miss Fox, who gave 40 years of service, remains our longest ever serving member of staff. That kind of dedication shines today as projects may come and go but it’s our people who make the difference - often going the extra mile to deliver more than is expected. 1935 - ’Community Service Over the years we have proven ourselves to be flexible, adaptable and Council for Durham County responsive and pride ourselves in having responded to the needs and problems Limited’ founded of the time – through the good times and, as now, full circle to a time when (forerunner of DRCC) the going gets a bit tough. 1936 - Abdication of King Through these pages we hope to give a glimpse of our history - the work done, Edward VIII the experience gained, the appreciation of communities where we have worked.
